Outdoors

This greenway is so peaceful and quiet--and flat--it is a beautiful place to walk, run or bike, and is convenient to the house. Walk down Fortland to the access artery, or drive/walk to the parking at the Nature Center under the railroad bridge.

Food scene/East Nash

East Nashville is full of independent and locally owned businesses. These are my top local favorites near the house (East Nash)
My favorite BBQ in East Nashville. It's all amazing-- but for something different try the brisket or pork tacos. The Southern Salad with pulled chicken is also AMAZING. Get the Alabama white sauce!
