Green Dash Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I'm not sure what would interest you but Nashville seems like a good place to spend some spare time you might have. I'm not a huge fan of Country music but I think I'd enjoy myself there.It doesn't appear to be more than 1" from Antioch, according to the map.http://www.visitmusiccity.com/indexfull.php Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24396-what-to-do-in-tennessee/#findComment-113173 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timothy Maikshilo Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 Thanks for all the great ideas' gentlemen. As I will have 5 guys with me not sure what they will have on there minds too. The cousin thing doesn't sound bad since we are separated by about a dozen states that would make us "distant" cousins and Mike probably wouldn't want a house full of northern boyz drinking his shine. The Nashville info looks great and the other guys like country music and I like the man in black too but my ears tend to bleed if prolonged ex-posher to it. I'll take plenty of pictures but the cousin thing you'll have to use your imagination Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24396-what-to-do-in-tennessee/#findComment-113286 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyGunner Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I would go to Lynchburg and enjoy many beverages.

Mike Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Hey Tim,Since I work downtown Smashville. The suggestion of 2nd and 3rd Avenues are a good choice. Broadway starts at the riverfront, 1st Ave. and goes west which turns into Westend. It is Rt.70 not to get you confused. I really suggest going on line and making your choices of where to stay and visit. It is too much to list here. Funny for me is I never thought our city was an interesting place to visit. I'm no Country Music Fan. Opryland was a good place until that was torn down and made a Opry Mills Mall which has a Bass Pro Shop.What day is your arrival and how many days are you here?mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24396-what-to-do-in-tennessee/#findComment-113338 Share on other sites More sharing options...
