It’s that time of year again. Yesterday, Nashvillians set their clocks back an hour, “falling back” to standard time.

Wondering how to navigate shorter, darker days as painlessly as possible? Make the transition easier by maximizing these helpful resources:

☀️ Soak up the sun

Add some sunlight back in your day with Small World Yoga’s community classes, which take place at libraries and other locations in the early morning and evening hours, or join Nashville Girls Who Walk for a group outing. Sunlight, wellness, and new friends? Win-win-win.

Bookmark event calendars for Metro Parks and Tennessee State Parks so you don’t miss special happenings like this Hidden Lake History Hike at Harpeth River State Park.

Engage in something creative outside of home. Peruse local artifacts at Nashville’s 15+ museums or register for a writing class at The Porch.

🥘 Make mealtime easier

Hit up Vibrant Meals or The Prepped Palate for pre-made meals that only need reheating. Have extra time and want to learn a new cooking skill? Take a class with The Chef & I.

After dinner, stimulate your mind with some games at Game Point Café. Pro tip: The Game Point Snax menu is available until closing.

🌙 Nighttime fun

Sure, the sun sets earlier now, but that doesn’t mean the city goes to sleep. Bundle up for a movie night at the Belcourt Theater or find your new favorite band at one of Nashville’s music venues. Want to get moving? Join a sports league (individually or with a group of friends) or try out curling at Tee Line Nashville. Bonus: It’s open until 10 p.m. on weeknights.

If nothing sounds better than curling up with a good book at home, bookmark these reads by local authors and stock up on local hot cocoa.

🚏 Introducing Elizabeth Duff Transit Center

Elizabeth Duff made history as the first woman to drive a Nashville bus. Now, her legacy endures in the heart of downtown.

WeGo’s central transit center at 400 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. has officially been renamed the Elizabeth Duff Transit Center.

Metro Council unanimously approved an ordinance in July 2022 to make the change. Duff died on February 13, 2021 at the age of 72.

“Elizabeth was a pioneer, born and raised here in Nashville,” Mayor Freddie O’Connell said. “To the Duff family, I am here to say thank-you for continuing this legacy. Her son, Seneca, is a bus operator at WeGo and here today.”

WeGo plans to install historical displays at the transit center highlighting Duff’s life and tenure.
