We pride ourselves on keeping you in the mix — so take it from us, a week from today you’re going to want to raise a glass.

We asked local businesses to participate in Drink Up Week by offering drink deals for our readers. Local businesses poured their all into the task — and the deals, well, they’re flowing.

A map of Nashville with drink icons indicating the type of drink deal you'll find at each of the participating businesses.

A sign says now leasing and beneath it, another sign reads, "100 Oaks Shopping Center" in big, all caps, block letters. To the right of the sign is another, shorter horizontal billboard reading, "Harveys, Penneys, Woolco Department Store, and Giant Foods of America."

Here are a few memories our readers shared with us after we revisited some shopping centers of Nashville’s past.
  • “I loved going to the movie theater at 100 Oaks when I lived in Nashville from ’96-2004. I remember when ‘The Matrix’ was first released, I went to that same theater to see it a total of 12 times!” — Carol V.
  • “Anyone who had a meal at Morrison’s Cafeteria in 100 Oaks Mall will remember the cheerful salad server. As we completed the long walk from the lower level front door to the silverware and tray stacks, our ‘salad lady,’ with bright, rosy, rouge cheeks, would loudly greet us with her catch phrase, ‘sal-lid?’” — Morrison’s salad fan
  • “The original 100 Oaks Mall in its glory days was the preferred destination my grandmother would take me to do our Christmas shopping. After a busy walk through the mall shops on the upper level, we would have lunch at the Woolworth’s busy diner on the bottom level. They placed discounted price tickets in helium balloons along the counter bar that you could select one, pop it, and pay that reduced price for a slice of pie!” — Sam B.
