Did you know that Alecia has never been to Nashville for a night on the town? As many times as she’s been, she’s never hit the country bars on 2nd Ave or Printer’s Alley. Fortunately her friends LOVE her, so her friends as well as some of mine have decided that a trip is in order.

I LOVE Nashville. We used to go twice a year just to get away and enjoy life. The energy in the streets of that town makes the 3-hour drive well worth it. And now I have two very good friends who relocated to Clarksville, so it’s going to give us an opportunity to reunite over a cold adult beverage.

Nashville is a city of culture, music, and all around southern hospitality. I learned a lot in Nashville, usually picking up useful information on each of my trips down there. For instance:

• if Duncan smacks Johnny across the chest and Johnny wipes out a table and two barstools, one of the bars will ask you to leave even if they haven’t served you drinks yet
• it is near impossible to have one shot and one beer at every bar on 2nd Ave and Printer’s Alley in a 4-hour span
• The cab ride from 2nd Ave. to Best Western on 5th Ave. is only $7. A short walk yes, but uphill and under the influence isn’t much fun
• it is okay to walk across the hood of a car if they pull in front of you and stop
• Wildhorse Saloon CAN run out of Jager
