Bow Tie o’ the Day was witness to some bigly sights in Nashville. Even Bow Tie knows one of the best things about traveling to a place you don’t know much about is that you can be surprised by what you find there. This was our favorite thing-we-didn’t-know-was-in-Nashville-and-we’re-so-glad-it-exists.
As a younger soul, I was into Greek mythology, art, and architecture. I thought I’d have to go to Athens to catch what’s left of the Parthenon, and I hope I do someday. But this full-size replica of the complete Parthenon was breathtaking to behold. It houses an equally humongous statue of the goddess, Athena. Nashville considers itself the “Athens of the South”—a hotbed of learning, art, music, and literature. After visiting for a few days, I can see why.
