This picture is from my 2024 trip to the Society for Commercial Archaeology Conference in Nashville, Tennessee. I intended to go as soon as it was announced, then waited too long, and it sold out too fast. So I made other plans, although I did put my name on the waiting list. I was surprised when it reached the top, but took advantage of it and changed my plans again. I have been to Nashville multiple times, so I was familiar with many of the points of interest we visited, including the pictured Broadway, a.k.a. “neon canyon”, and Lane Motor Museum. But there were plenty of new-to-me places, too. Among them were the Willie Nelson and Friends Museum and Marathon Village.
Trip Peeks are short articles published when my world is too busy or too boring for a current events piece to be completed in time for the Sunday posting. In addition to a photo thumbnail from a completed road trip, each Peek includes a brief description of that photo plus links to the full-sized photo and the associated trip journal.
The good old “Bat Building” 🙂
Yes, I’ve always been amused by that fact that one of Music City’s most recognizable landmarks was built to represent modern communication technology rather than music, and maybe even more amused that it immediately became associated with a comic book character and not that technology.
