Other recommendations

While visiting Nashville and Williamson County, whether you’re in the market for a home or simply previewing the area with a future move date in mind, we at Jimmy Franks Homes would like to recommend a few local favorites to help you enjoy your stay.

MUST SEE

Country Music Hall of Fame (www.countrymusichalloffame.com)

Grand Ole Opry (www.opry.com)

Lower Broadway, affectionately called honky-tonk heaven. Catch a Predators hocky game and visit Tootsies, Robert’s Western World and, of course, The Ryman Auditorium.

Bluebird Cafe, the legendary singer-songwriter venue (www.bluebirdcafe.com)

The Pond, 595 Hillsboro Road, Franklin’s nitty gritty place to hear local out of the box musicians. It can and will get rowdy.

Titans game - Downtown LP field is a tough ticket to get. The Titans have sold out every game since moving into the stadium in 1999. The best bet is to go to the stadium game day and hope for the best. Season schedules can be found at titansonline.com or by calling 615.565.4200.
