The article begins "Nashville isn't nicknamed Music City for nothing....But there's more to Nashville than country music, especially in the once-sleep neighborhoods that now beat to a different rhythm. Districts like East Nashville and 12 South thrive with lively bars, stylish restaurants and a young, eclectic crop of music makers, churning out everything from bluegrass to punkabilly."
What's not missing from this story? Artists. Once again, a city has figured out that arts districts -- places where artists and musicians can afford to live, as well as perform, create vibrant, lively communities. The article takes the reader through a dozen or so happening spots, but I still like to head down to Broadway and see the old Ryman Auditorium, Ernest Tubb Music, and the handful of honky tonks left where musicians can play -- and drink -- for inspiration.
Oh, and check out my cool Nashville pictures, too.
