For eight years, photographer Nell Dickerson traveled across the South taking portraits of dogs committed to the deep-seated tradition of watching the world. Those photographs comprise her latest book, Porch Dogs, which includes sixty pups, from a Basset Hound in Memphis, Tennessee to a Labrador Retriever in Point Clear, Alabama.
Literally the best possible coffee table book. And yes, I love Garden & Gun’s website.
Anyone feel like a field trip to The Hermitage?
Crowds line Broadway in downtown Nashville, which is experiencing a resurgence.
There are few things I love more in the world than Nashville and the NY Times.
I miss the Bluebird…and Nashville overall.
If you’re not familiar with Nashville the city, you might assume that The Bluebird Café — which appears on Nashville the show — is just a fake place where fake country singers perform fantastically real love songs like “No One Will Ever Love You.” But allow us to enlighten you: The Bluebird Café exists in real life! And it’s a legit venue. Garth Brooks was discovered there in 1987; Taylor Swift performed on its stage — and met future Big Machine founder Scott Borchetta — there in 2004. Now that the Bluebird (or an exact replica of it, at least) is also the star of a television series, has it seen even more success? Vulture called up COO Erika Wollam Nichols to find out the effect Connie Britton has on the Café’s business.
Now I’ve tried drinking rye and gamblin’
Dancing with damnation is a ball
But of all the little ways I’ve found to hurt myself
Well you might be my favorite one of all
Fa la la la, fa la la lee
Now let me go, my honey oh back to Tennessee
It’s beef steak when I’m working, whiskey when I’m dry
Sweet heaven when I die
GPOY - missing Nashville edition.
I gotta testify, come up in the spot lookin' extra fly...
