Summer To Do List in Music City

We get one million and one press releases on Nashville events every day at work. I usually just scan them and make a mental note of all of the things I would like to do if I was to ever have the time. Today,  I sat down and made a list of all of those things and actually did the research to  make them happen. It looks like there's no excuse to ever be bored in this town and that's the case even if you're broke!

• Have a Puckett's Grocery Dinner and Live Music Night- Lieper's Fork- Friday Nights; 8PM
