Honky Tonk

Elvis on top of a building

Tuesday night we got to go to downtown Nashville with Laura - the consultant from Dallas, who had rented a car, and Tom the director at Metro Waste Authority. We went to Rippy's on Broadway and sat upstairs where it was open air and delightfully warm after I froze all day indoors at Opryland. Paul and I each had ribs and they were quite good. Tom and Laura are fun to talk to.

And this is just one portion of 1 wall of this joint!

Across the street on top of a building I spied an Elvis. He musta left the building! After supper we walked across the street and took our photo by this giant guitar, then hit a Honky Tonk. The walls in the joint were covered by album covers and posters - from Michael Jackson, Doris Day, all the C & W faves of course and more. Plus there were some cool instruments. A band played twangy country music while we all sipped cold Coors Lite. We headed back to our "town" Opryland by 8:30 PM, exhausted. Good day.
