Lower Broadway & The Ryman

Wednesday, April 16, 2014

1st stop: Downtown. People in Nashville take their boots very seriously. I can't tell you how many stores I found on Broadway Street alone that sold boots - like how many different stores can you have that sell the same thing? It was my first glimpse into just how important a fashion icon boots are in the good ole South - and especially in the home of country music...

so much so that I had to try on my own pair...


and to my surprise they went perfectly with my outfit!
​


But I couldn't get myself to buy them though.

Why?

​One thing I learned: boots are expensive! I mean hundreds of dollars worth expensive. Like real leather boots expensive. Wow.

                      And...
                                       They weren't that comfortable.

                                                                  And...
                                                                                     I'm still just a city girl at heart (sigh).

Video of me arriving on Broadway...

Yes, Tequila Cowboy is featured in the show, in one of its earlier episodes in Season 1, when Avery Barkley performs w/ his band! Go me!
​

After I walked down Broadway I went straight to the Ryman Auditorium - only the historical site established in 1892 and now famously known as the Mother Church of Country Music! 

Weather: "60s," sunny, but a little brisk (still better than what the weather actually was in Boston though).
