Post of the Day
Time to hit the Skyride at Opryland — that’s something you haven’t heard in decades. | Post via @opryland_vr
How it works: You’ll travel through the park on the Opryland Railroad and Skyride with the ability to look around in all directions as music plays. Watch the trailer + hear from creator Ryan Crowder on how the project came together.
How to play: It’s available on the Epic Games Store ($14.99) and can be played on PC using a mouse and keyboard or with a compatible VR headset. Free-roam game play is in development.
Not able to play? You can still get in on the fun by generating your own throwback Opryland Season Pass.
Red Bicycle is back in Germantown, kicking things off with a limited drink + food menu available through this Sunday as the new team gets settled in.

Vanderbilt men’s basketball defeated McNeese State 78-68 yesterday, picking up its first NCAA Tournament win in 14 years. The No. 5 seed Commodores will face No. 4 seed Nebraska in the second round tomorrow. (The Tennessean)
Weather
This week’s cold snap will soon be a distant memory. Temperatures are expected to climb into the mid-80s by Sunday, putting Nashville close to the daily record high of 88° set in 1907. We’ll cool down to highs in the 60s early next week. (WSMV)
Coming Soon
Sneak peek alert. Fishmonger’s Wedgewood-Houston location is inching closer to opening, and these images offer a glimpse inside. For now, drop by the Germantown outpost to try the blackened grouper and hot fish sandwiches.
Sports
Nashville SC is headed to the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinals after a 1-1 draw with Inter Miami CF, which was enough to send the Boys in Gold through to the next round. The team’s first quarterfinal match with Club América is up next in April — stay tuned for the dates. (The Tennessean)
Drink
More Nashvillians might be grabbing a bar stool (and maybe a mocktail) instead of stocking the home bar. Liquor store sales in the US dipped roughly 5% last year while spending at bars rose 4%, per the Bureau of Labor Statistics. (NBC News)
