Thanks for all the ratings and comments, if you rate my Jeep and leave a comment I will do the same for you.

We might as well start at the beginning. The first picture is of ZERO mile marker located at the foot of Capitol Hill in Nashville. This is the point from which all highways in Tennessee are measured.

Turning around and looking up the hill is the state capitol building.  Guess the term hillbilly may fit as it is quite a climb up that slope. The capitol is about a half mile away almost straight up.

Heading west a little we come across a building called the Parthenon. It is the only full sized recreation of the original Parthenon which of course is located in Athens Greece. By the way Nashville is also known as the Athens of the south, what with all the Universities located here and such. 

Anyone see a resemblance between the grill of the Jeep and the Parthenon? No? Me neither the Parthenon doesn't have headlights.

There is a civil war site almost in downtown Nashville. Fort Negley was nearly forgotton for a hundred years however it now has it's own visitor center.

Above is a shot of the Nashville skyline from the other side of the hill that Fort Negley stands on.

Going out of town a few miles we come across one of our little country bridges, Shucks folks there isn’t even water under this bridge.

               
The new Grand Ole Opry House.  U.S. headquarters Nissan. 

Marathon Motor Works is now home to Yazoo Brewing Company.
 
Yazoo brews up some darn good beer. The following is from the Yazoo web site.

"The Yazoo Brewery is located in what was once the Marathon Motor Works building. From 1910 to 1914, Marathon Motor Works made the first automobiles ever to be produced in the South. About 5,000 cars were made in those five years, earning Nashville the nickname "Detroit of the South". Despite their popularity, the hand-crafted cars were expensive and soon lost the market to the mass-produced cars of Ford and others."

A quick roadtrip to the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green KY, 

The onsite delivery program know as the "nursery". There are going to be some very happy Corvette owners! 07-09-2009

A little roadside nostalgia.  

WigWam village is along US 31W in Kentucky. Originally a buffalo trail then followed by Indians eventually it became a stage coach route. Know as the Dixie Highway 31W became the first paved road in the state. If I can trace its current route it runs from Louisville KY on the Ohio River to downtown Mobile AL on the Gulf of Mexico. Sounds like a road trip to me.

In Chattanooga we find a museum unlike any other in the world. The International Towing and Recovery Hall of Fame and Museum.

We hope we never have to call a tow truck but when we do we want them in a hurry. They have lots of amazing restored tow trucks. Chattanooga is where the first purpose built tow truck was created.

Even the south has it's rust belt industrial sites. We prefer to think of these as opportunities.
