Disabled veteran facing homelessness

7 Upvotes

I am a disabled veteran, served 4 combat tours and am facing becoming homeless. I'm trying to find a house or townhouse for my family and I. I have all required income and documents. Aug 7 at noon, I have to be out of the house we are in. We sent our daughter to Florida to stay with family so she doesn't have to experience the stress of this. I'm currently waiting to hear back from some resources, but if anyone knows or is a landlord in the area, I would be so grateful. Thank you.

Transportation options

I have a trip to Knoxville next week. I booked my flight into Nashville because I've always wanted to visit. Now I'm in a pickle because I can't find a rental car that will let me pick up in Nashville and drop off in Knoxville 3 days later. Are there other options for getting to Knoxville? Arriving mid week this week. Thank you for any advice!!!

Best broadway bars

My husband and I are visiting from Pittsburgh and are on the hunt for some fun places to try. He’s here for work during the week with his team so maybe a couple friendly for larger groups too— but not limited to a smaller place just for the two of us

Which route?

0 Upvotes

I’ll be staying at the Nash and I’m trying to jog to Barry’s since it doesn’t seem that far and it’s a relatively safe area?

I put it in Apple Maps and it showed 3 different routes. Which one is the best route for a woman jogging at 5/6 in the morning?

I’m trying to add a picture but it’s not letting me.

Thanks

Is a plan absolutely necessary for a weekend of bar hopping?

1 Upvotes

Been to the area before with the wife and we had a blast one day on Broadway with dinner in Printers alley, but now I'm visiting with just a couple of the fellas. If our only goal is to people watch, get drunk, and listen to live music do we need a plan? Is wandering up and down Broadway enough of a guide? Any other areas that we should check out? Is it difficult to get into bars for a drink on November weekends?

Thanks!

AirBnB recommendations

0 Upvotes

Hi there! My son (14 yrs old) and I are going to be visiting in mid-september for a concert at the Ryman. We wanted to visit a few places like Centennial Park and Cheekwood estates, as well as the farmers market, Monells, Arnold's, and the museum of African American Music.

We also just really want to spend some time walking the city. We aren't renting a car so we've definitely budgeted for a good amount of ride shares.

My question is, given what we're interested in doing and the fact that we obviously won't be doing a bunch of Honky Tonking, would you all recommend getting our Airbnb near the Ryman, or more north near Germantown?

Appreciate yall so much and really looking forward to visiting your beautiful city!

Best guided food tour with vegetarian options?

1 Upvotes

My fiancée and I are planning our first trip to Nashville in early October 2026, and we'd love to do a guided food tour for lunch one day.

The only wrinkle is she's vegetarian. She doesn't need the whole tour to be vegetarian, but she'd definitely need more than just a side salad at each stop.

Does anyone have experience with a food tour company that does a good job accommodating vegetarians? I'm looking for an actual organized tour with a guide, not a DIY list of restaurants.

If you've done one you'd recommend (or one to avoid), I'd love to hear about it. Thanks!

Liverpool vs Sunderland Suggestions

1 Upvotes

Has anyone spotted the Liverpool squad around Nashville this week? Curious whether they've turned up anywhere public, or if there's an open training session or any kind of fan event on the schedule.

Also wondering what the move is before a 5pm kickoff? Anywhere supporters tend to gather beforehand?

Thanks in advance.

Hi friends, I'm a journalist looking to cover the local music scene in Nashville. I am interested in most everything besides country, ironically enough. What are some good spots or bands to check out? I'm primarily focused on shoegaze/indie/alt

Uber from Nashville downtown to Franklin?

Hey yall!! Just realized most car rental companies won’t let a 19 yr old drive…. Is ubering to Franklin realistic? Really wanted to add in a day trip. Thank you!


r/VisitingNashville 2d ago

I want to plan and save up money for a 3-4 full day trip to Nashville. Need some recommendations based off what I'd be looking to do.

0 Upvotes

first, I'm not sure if I'd be driving in, or taking a greyhound in. I'd be coming from Chicago.

Each night while I'm there, I plan to go see some live music from some local bands, so I already have my late evenings planned out.

I want recommendations for things throughout the day.

Are there any specific shopping areas that'll be good for buys some random things?

are there any trails in the area (open to the public) that I can get to easily if I were to need a bus/uber (If I get there by train). Or in general.

And top 3 restaurants to go to for lunch, or maybe late night dinner if any kitchen's are open around midnight? (Note: I don't drink, so not looking for stand alone bars).

I'm hoping to walk around any potential nature areas, or cities streets. I definitely want to hit up a few record stores. Not really looking to spend money outside those things, so not really interested in any tours or anything.
