Parks & Nature
We have several trailheads close to us. The one at Kohl's on Lebanon Rd takes you along the Stoney River to Percy Priest Dam. Just beautiful. It is about a 6 mile hike there and back. My favorite is the Two Rivers trailhead that takes you to a huge expansion walking bridge across the Cumberland River. The green dot on the map is their office location. There are several trailheads really close to us.

A commuter train into downtown Nashville that is just 3 minutes away. A great way to make day trips into downtown Nashville without having to worry about parking. Parking in downtown Nashville is tricky/expensive. On Friday nights it has a later schedule. Be sure and check online for the schedule.

The Doyle and Debbie Show is music theater that is hilarious. It is not political correct, and if you're easily offended than this probably isn't for you. It is only on Tuesday nights; $20 cash at the door. In a small dive of a place, that fills up fast. Call for reservations. You will laugh til you cry.
