If you have the budget, stay at the Opryland Hotel! Otherwise, there are good places to stay all over the city. The safest part of the city in the southern part near Brentwood.

I've stayed there and it is great. Easy access to shopping and even a boat trip through the hotel.

Exactly..I believe you! Just what flavor are you trying this month?

I was too tired late last night to think hard enough to answer this.

In additoin to what you listed of course there is the Grand Ole Opry, Opry Mills Mall, The Country Music Hall of Fame, The Ryman auditorium, lots of good restaurants, the Parthanon, The Hermitage (home of President Andrew Jackson), various civil war sites and some historic homes. Also there are always a lot of entertainment events going on you could find onthe internet.

[Raven]

Just got in from Nashville. Stayed over so that Sister Raven could get in a little shopping. [That's good PR on my part] We may want to do this again!
It was our priviledge and honor to fellowship and breakbread with some tremendous people last night. CC1, Pianoman, Mrs Pianoman, and Daniel Alicea. I really didn't want to leave but the hour grew late. We had a great time with a discussion of many subjects and many people. [Yes, many of you posters names did come up.] If these members are any indication of the caliber of people on this Forum we are in good company indeed! Pianoman and CC1 both show a great sense of humor and are accomplished raconteurs. I hope to sit down in quieter surroundings some time in the future and become even better acquainted. [ Begging Mrs. Pianoman's permission. ] I was very impressed with [AL] Mrs. Pianoman. I commend her for showing a great spirit in putting up with us fellow Posters. I'm glad she was there for Mrs. Raven's sake and in turn for my sake. Daniel, of course, is special to many of us. To finally meet this quiet warrior was an honor for us all. God's hand is certainly on Dan and it is yet to be seen what great things that are going to come from him in the future. There is a spirit of unity moving within the body of Christ and I was priviledged to encounter a great manifestation of it last night. Thanks friends for your friendship! PS: Sorry the rest of you weren't there. Perhaps next time!

I'll be there in May to see my new Grandson. [due April 29th] I'll buy lunch and you can count on it! Perhaps this will make up for being "Stuck In Lodi Again". I need to buy JB's lunch also. Do you want me to invite him? Yes, Sister Raven is easy on the eyes and obiviously God sure must love me to have blessed me so beautifully.

Hey, that sounds awesome. I was only kidding, but hey, I'm always available for free lunch!! I don't hang w/JB much anymore so it'd be good to hang out w/him too. We'll firm it up later. Looking forward to it. I'll have to find a girdle to wear for the photos that we post on here.

I had to look it up to see what "raconteurs" meant! I thought maybe the word was related to the word "racketeer"!

Mrs. Raven's presence at the table saved me much grief!

You were a great couple, and I hope to meet up with you guys again some day!

Pianoman,

I almost fell off my chair laughing when after Mrs. Pianoman gave her lecture on how AFF was nothing but a place of gossip, etc then you nailed her on her woman's "club" gossiping. LOL!!! I noticed she didn't have a comeback for that and actually looked a little sheepish for the first time since I met her. How was the sofa that night? Comfortable? LOL!!!

It was also funny for her to be confronted with the good of AFF that she never sees like DA's siste and husband finding Eddie & Sherri and the other things everybody at the table told her. Maybe eventually she will have a better picture of AFF and it's predecessors.

Gossiping is OK as long as you do it face to face!! Her friend's loss of her husband because of an internet chat room with old friends plays a big part in her opinion of AFF.

I do think that Mrs. Pianoman got a better idea and view of what AFF is about. It really helped to have the quality of folks that we had at the table!
