The Loveless Cafe

January 29th 2010 06:56
If a place was included in the book 1,000 Places To See Before You Die would that be enough to convince you to visit. How about if food celebrities Martha Stewart, Paula Deen, and Bobby Flay all sing its praises? Would a chance to sit where legendary rocker Robert Plant ate convince you?

The list of famous people to visit Nashville's Loveless Cafe is staggering and makes you wonder why so many would go out of their way to visit this tiny restaurant.

That is until you try their unforgetable world famous biscuits.

The Parthenon In Nashville?

January 29th 2010 06:30
Don't have the time or money to visit the ancient ruins in Greece? Did you know that you can see a full scale replica of the Parthenon in Nashville, TN. Since it's existence Nashville was known as "The Athens of the South." The town decided to use this theme during the state's centennial celebration in 1896 with the building of the Parthenon, along with 30 or so other Greek inspired buildings. Sadly only the Parthenon remains after a century of change and growth.

Some pictures that I took during a recent trip. The Athena statue stands 42 feet tall and is painted in gold.

Greyfield Inn on Cumberland Island

January 24th 2010 17:09
There aren't many beach destinations in the U.S. where you can match beautiful beaches with seclusion. One of the few is located along the south-east corner of Georgia's barrier islands. I have long enjoyed Sea and Jekyl island's secluded beauty. President Bush even chose this setting for a G8 summit in 2004.

For even more secluded beauty check out Cumberland Island, the most southern of the barrier paradises
