Last night, we had dinner with friends at Silo, a restaurant in the Germantown neighborhood of Nashville. On the way, we hit little traffic and, once we arrived, found a parking spot within a few yards. You may ask why I mention that and here is the answer.
A few blocks from the restaurant, the Nashville Soccer Club was playing in the recently built minor league baseball stadium.
Just past their stadium, Taylor Swift was performing in front of over 60,000 screaming fans at Nissan Stadium.
From there, a short walk across the pedestrian bridge would have taken you to Ascend Amphitheater where Needtobreathe was putting on a show.
Down the street from the amphitheater, Journey and Def Leppard packed Bridgestone Arena with fans reminiscing about the 1980s.
Across the street from Bridgestone Arena, over 4,000 people were competing in the Pokemon Finals at the Music City Center.
Up the hill from there, another sold out show was being held at the historic Ryman Auditorium.
On top of all that, Garth Brooks appeared on two shows of the Grand Ole Opry.
In short, there was a lot going on in Nashville. In fact, it is estimated that over 130,000 fans were in the city for some kind of event.
However, we had a nice dinner without any hustle and bustle. The only issue was everyone in the back of the car trying to get this picture right before posting it on social media.
While others were rocking the night away, older eyes were trying to determine how they looked in a picture as I rolled down the interstate.
By the way, dinner was awesome. If you make it to Nashville, then you should definitely go to Silo.

Never been to Nashville dang it! Would love to go there some day. Sante Fe is next on my list though.
You need to make it down here. Nashville and Santa Fe are my two favorite places.
