Nashville -- Sights and Sounds



As I am getting ready to leave Nashville, TN -- my family's home for the past 9 years -- I am wanting to point out places I have been, things I have seen, and some wonderful unique landmarks. These are a few to begin with for now . . . more will appear here in the future.



The AT&T Building (formerly the South Central Bell Building and BellSouth Building, also known as the Batman Building) is a 630.5 ft (192 m), 32-story skyscraper completed in August 1994 and located in Nashville, Tennessee. It is currently the tallest building in the state of Tennessee.


Unlike any traditional museum you’ve ever visited, the Frist Center for the Visual Arts has become a magnet for Nashville’s rapidly expanding visual arts scene. With an exhibitions schedule that has new art flowing through the magnificent Art Deco building every 6 to 8 weeks.



The Wildhorse Saloon is Nashville's #1 Dining and Entertainment destination and a mecca of entertainment in America. To capture the attention of Nashvillians and country music visitors, on June 1, 1994, the history of the World Famous Wildhorse Saloon began with country superstar Reba McEntire hearding a stampede of live cattle through the streets of Music City, also known as Nashville, Tennessee.



The Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park is located in the shadow of the State Capitol in downtown Nashville. The 19-acre park is designed to complement the Tennessee Capitol Building, give visitors a taste of Tennessee's history and natural wonders, and to serve as a lasting monument to Tennessee's Bicentennial celebration.

Here are some historical features to look for when you visit Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park:

Zero Mile Marker
Small Tennessee Granite Maps
Tennessee Map Plaza
The Railroad Trestle
The Rivers of Tennessee Fountains
Tennessee Flags
Pathway of History
World War II Memorial
Carillons and the Court of 3 Stars
CCC Memorial
The Walkway of Counties
