Downtown Nashville is a place to visit. There are plenty on restaurants to experience and places to shop. Whether is be eating at Jacks BBQ or shopping for those cowboy/girl boots, they have something for everything. I went into a tattoo shop to not get ink done but to go upstairs to a boutique. I bought a one of a kind purse there and got nothing but compliments when I got home. When I went back next year, of course I bought another purse. They have a place where you can buy 2 pairs of boots and get a 3rd free. The boots are expensive, but when in Nashville....parking is free at the meters after 9pm. There is a lot of character in downtown Nashville. So many nice people. It is amazing to look down broadway at night and see all the signs lit up and the life of the city
