Unusual in Nashville



Nash Trash Tour

In Nashville, we experienced a tour where two sister comedians gave a risqué bus tour of Nashville. They made fun of themselves and tour participants and shared the “dirt” of local celebrities. One example of a comment was when they talked about Nashville as finally being “fecal free” after the recent flood experience.

Parthenon in Nashville

Another unexpected experience was a visit to Nashville’s Parthenon. In the late eighteen hundreds, there was an international exhibition in Nashville where the wonders of the world were created from plaster and wood. The residents liked the example of the Parthenon so much they had one built to scale in concrete complete with a statue of Athena.
