Moonlight Over Greece in Tennessee
Blog: Suzy Guese - 11 September 2011
Long days spent in the car have forced my sightseeing to take to the night. Tonight my moonlight moseying brings me to Greece. The blaring neon lights of Broadway along with those stumbling to see the light from bar after bar seem far from any Greece I have envisioned. And then, lit up like a [...]

Animals & Radnor Lake
Blog: Vagabond3 - 25 August 2011
Ever hear an acoustic guitar or banjo riff and become transported to somewhere similar the set of ‘Where the Red Fern Grows’ or read a passage from ‘Leaves of Grass’ and find a wilderness landscape suddenly painted across your imagination? These places are Americana country, where log cabins puff smoke out their stone chimneys and people take short cuts through the woods to get to town. Radnor Lake is a...

Southern Charm in Historic Franklin Tennessee
Blog: Vagabond3 - 30 May 2011
Before I developed a movie taste of my own (before I saw my first 007 movie), my Mom had me watching AMC. Whenever there were chores to be done inside or lightning outside, the TV set became a window into a different world; high plains, big cities, or cruise ships of either romance or murder, all of which I have seen as an adult. There was one more ever present...

Celebrating New Year’s in Nashville
Blog: MuseumChick - 9 January 2011
Nashville wasn’t necessarily on the top of my list of places to go. I’m not really a country music fan. Sure, I like Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline and Taylor Swift (what can I say, I’m diverse) but I knew little about Nashville than country music and BBQ ribs. But when my good friend said she [...]

Mexican Food Tour: Nashville
Blog: Vagabond3 - 7 August 2010

We headed out to drift down the river, and it just so happened that Reb the Dog decided to join us. I’ve canoed down this river several [...]
