Our night got off to a great start when we found a perfectly located free parking spot on Broadway Street. As soon as we sat down to order burgers, we could tell Nashville was special because the duet playing acoustic guitar was fantastic. We could have stayed there and listened to them all night but we needed to see what other bands were playing. Since none of the bars had a cover charge, we could literally run across the street and into a new place when we heard our favorite songs. Even though it was a Wednesday night, most venues were packed with people dancing and singing along.
We entered one of the few places without live music to watch the end of the Stanley Cup Finals game. Naturally we gravitated towards the other Chicago fans and got to know a family from Hinsdale. For those not familiar with the Chicago suburbs, Hinsdale is near Downers Grove where Joe lives, so it was fun to cheer on the Hawks with fellow Chicagoans. The Hawks won in the third overtime on an incredible goal. Go Hawks!
After the game we went back to hopping from venue to venue before finally retiring to our hotel. If you're a fan of country, rock, or live music in general, Nashville's nightlife blows away most of the major cities in my opinion. I'm glad I didn't go to school there. I would never have gotten anything done!
