That’s 168 miles. Bonus: Check out practice rounds + more races on Friday and Saturday.
  • Music — Artists like rap legend Flo Rida, singer-songwriter Chris Janson, country star Megan Moroney, and more will perform just blocks away from Broadway all weekend. See the full lineup.

Be the broker: Beachy property for sale

Be the broker: Beachy property for sale in the heart of downtown

We asked, and y’all sold us on your ideas. Here’s what some of our readers had to say about what this beach-like property for sale downtown could be turned into:
  • ”...I would build a tower with full amenities for 55+ population. The bottom of the building would be a farmers market, full grocery store with delivery to the residents of the building, a full affordable, but healthy restaurant serving 16 hours/day, headed by a nutritional chef. I would also include a travel “agency” of sorts to allow the residents to head to their favorite spots in the Nashville area...”
  • “I would turn it into a small reading park.”
  • “A drive by coffee shop.”
  • “It would be terrific if it was purchased by the city and turned into a pollinator garden. Once established, it’s self-sufficient, beautiful, and helps the environment. It could also contain a great sculpture. Something Nashville could use more of.”
  • “I would turn it into a beautiful multi-colored fountain that changes constantly. Imagine coming to Nashville and having our own fountain of youth!”
Not to brag, but a handful of respondents also agreed that a Ferris wheel would fit the bill.

Does the sight of this make you a little dizzy? Sub Zero is a new ride coming to the Williamson County Fair this year (Aug. 4-12) that suspends and rotates you 60 ft in the air. My stomach says no, but my heart says yes.
