Traffic Circles (MM #1803)

Nashville is trying to deal with traffic congestion. So they’ve begun to add traffic circles or roundabouts as they are also known. On paper they make sense, but encountering one is something completely different. On they surface they should be simple…

Panhandlers (MM #1799)

Nashville is facing a bit of an epidemic. I may be crazy, but we’re being bombarded with panhandlers. My wife was accosted one the other day coming out of the grocery store. I’ve run into them at numerous gas stations. It’s getting bad…

I do it as often as I can. I’m sure that you do too. I’m talking about people watching. This week I had the chance to more of it than I normally do, thanks to one of Nashville’s biggest tourist events. I’ve been people watching for years, and it never gets old…

Country and Hip Hop (MM #1456)

We’re talking about music today; well sort of. It may not make sense at first glance to see the words country and hip hop side by side and think that there’s a big similarity between the two. But there truly is an interesting relationship between the words; in music and elsewhere…
