As a former classroom teacher, I believe teachers have a unique language, a form of ‘teacherism’. This is a set of words, phrases, and expressions that you would probably hear in many classrooms. I’m not sure what it is about teaching that creates this shared language—maybe it’s the need to keep dozens of little minds…

If you’ve ever lived or been to Nashville, you know it can be difficult to find things to DO. There is plenty to eat and beyond plenty to drink. But, when it comes to activities or experiences, it can feel like there is a lack. I’m here to say, yes, I understand. I’ve lived here essentially my whole life and even I struggle to find stuff to actually DO. Most nights end with just dinner or drinks, but I have had some truly fun experiences around Nashville, especially in the last year. Yes, a lot of these are also places to eat and drink also, but none of these are centered around those things. So, whether you’ve done everything on this list or have never heard of any, just make sure to check out something that sounds right for you. It’s good to get to have different experiences or just get inspiration on things to do anywhere you go. 1. Ranch Hands Cowboylesque Starting off strong, we have Ranch Hands Cowboylesque. This show is SO much fun for visitors and locals alike. As a local, it just seemed like a fun show to go to on a Friday night. MAKE SURE YOU GET RESERVATIONS WELL AHEAD OF TIME! We had a group of 4, and we had to reserve seats separate from each other – thankfully, the coordinators were so kind and made sure we still got to sit together! We sat in the back and it was bar seating, but all of the tables in the middle are normal tables and can be pushed together for groups. The bachelorette parties went wild here. It was a pretty early show, so it is a great first stop when planning your night out on Friday, OR you can go for brunch on Saturday. It is located in the Opryland area, across from the hotel and mall at the Nashville Palace. You get a nice dose of country music, shirtless cowboys, and strong drinks. Find more information here: Ranch Hands Cowboylesque. 2. The Catio These first 3 things to do are all in a similar area in the Donelson/Opry Mills area of Nashville. The Catio is also located in the strip mall across from Opryland. There are lots of fun, southern bars in this area but we are here to talk about things to DO. That brings us to the Catio – a place for you to play with cats and kittens. The Catio is a lounge for the cats and kittens while they await adoption. So yes, these cats are up for adoption! But, for a small price of $12, you can spend an hour just hanging out with the cats. Make sure to book your time on their website, and while you are here you can check out the kitties available for adoption: The Catio Nashville. I always had cats growing up, but I think I’ve developed a sort of fear. While this was really fun, I realized I am slightly scared of cats now. It was still fun to see all the fun obstacle courses for the cats, their toys, and their hiding places. Once you are in, the cats have free range around the room and so do you. You can play with your favorites or you can sit and pet the calm, sleeping ones. This is also a great way to spend time with the cats and maybe find one you bond with to adopt! 3. Two Rivers Greenway/Shelby Park I feel like most Nashvillians don’t know about this greenway – at least the people I know who are locals. But, this is definitely a great neighborhood greenway. It actually starts at the same parking lot as the Wave Country, and the parking lot is also home to a decent-sized skate park. You’ll see kids/adults there pretty much all the time. This greenway can go either way, but I definitely recommend going the direction down under the bridge with the fun murals. After you emerge out the other side, you will go over a bridge that crosses the Cumberland River, and it is very picturesque. This takes you to the other side of the river, and you will go down a spiral walkway until you get to the path that goes alongside the river. This takes you in both directions, and if you go to the right it eventually takes you to Shelby Park (pretty famous in East Nashville), although that is quite a walk. You can also rent bikes at the Two Rivers Greenway parking lot! Speaking of Shelby Park, this is also a great park to go on a walk, have a picnic, go roller skating, or lots of other activities. I went here growing up all the time, but more recently I have gone on walks around the pond there, and they also have an air park that has a flat surface perfect for bringing your roller skates or just hanging out. Definitely recommend getting outside if you’re visiting or checking out a new greenway/park if you live here! 4. Farmer’s Markets (all around Nashville) You can never go wrong finding a good farmer’s market to go to. Almost every little town around Nashville has one. The most notable one is the Nashville Farmer’s Market, which is a year-round farmer’s market located in the Germantown area. It is open daily, except for some holidays, and it is held in a large building with lots of windows next to Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park. It has stalls outdoors with plenty of local vegetables and goods are sold. There is also a large plant garden outside that has various options and things you might need. Inside the building, there are lots of local shops and restaurants, so you can wander around, grab food, and buy some local souvenirs or other items. I will say that it’s better to go on the weekend, as there will be a lot more vendors out. You can also check around town for local farmer’s markets in the neighborhoods. The Hip Donelson Farmer’s Market is located at the Two Rivers Mansion and is on Fridays throughout the summer. They always have food trucks and local vendors selling all kinds of food and products. It is so fun to walk around, eat, and spend time with friends or family. They are all around town, including the Madison Farmer’s Market, 12 South Farmer’s Market, or East Nashville Farmer’s Market. Just check out the days and times to find one that works for you! 5. NMAAM – National Museum of African American Music So, I still need to go here, but I plan to go soon! I tend to avoid downtown because of parking and traffic, but this is an extremely well-done museum that is both modern and historical. This museum is interactive and fun, and it is pretty new. They also have free admission on Wednesdays! So if you are looking to go, you can always reserve a ticket on a Wednesday morning. This will be your best bet for free admission and low crowds. On the other days, admission is only $24.95. Just make sure to reserve your ticket and check the other events happening around Nashville. NMAAM sometimes has events, but since this is located downtown, it’s good to know what is going on to plan for traffic and parking. Since it is downtown, you could also plan to go to Fifth and Broadway after to get food or drinks. Fifth and Broadway has tons of local restaurants and stores, so it’s a good way to see both if you are visiting or if you want to make a day out of your visit to NMAAM. For more information or to book your tickets, click here: National Museum of African American Music. 6. Hatch Show Print Located in the Country Music Hall of Fame building, this is a pretty unique experience for both locals and visitors. It has a gift shop, gallery, and print shop, and you can get some really unique souvenirs or local art from here. You can simply go to the gift shop and check out the prints and gifts there. But, you can also do a tour of the print shop where you can actually make your own custom print. You can also learn and see how the entire print shop system works! Hatch Show Print has a long history of providing custom and hand-made prints for musicians and events for a century and a half. Their website provides great insight into their history and the work they continue to do. It is definitely worth checking out, and you can also book a tour here: Hatch Show Print. 7. Love Circle While this may have been more of a “secret” spot while I was in high school, Love Circle has definitely gown in popularity. This not-so-secret hill has views of downtown Nashville, and it is one of the best spots for sunrise or sunset. Grab some friends, a blanket or chairs, and a nice picnic, and spend time taking in the beauty of Nashville. It is located almost within a neighborhood, so it is extremely important to respect the area by keeping the noise down and leave no trace! Always pick up any trash or items you might have. It is located off West End, and you will drive up to a circle that goes around the hill. You can park around this hill wherever you can find a spot, but try not to be in the way of cars. From there, you can make the trek up the hill and find a good spot. This has been home to some great memories with friends, and it is a unique little spot to spend time with loved ones. 8. Night Light 615 Night Light 615 is a seasonal adult-only movie night at Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park. It is an outdoor movie series that begins in mid-summer until close to Halloween. These events can sell out quickly! So make sure if you are trying to go that you get tickets in advance. It is 21+, and they always have a local craft brewery as well as wine options. There are tons of local food trucks that rotate in and out of the schedule, and you can always check who will be there at each event. These movie nights are typically held on Thursdays, so it makes it easier to get around and park for the event. There is also a DJ before the movie, so you can get there early to get a good spot and hang out with your friends. Grab food and drinks and set up for when the movie starts a little after sunset. Honestly, all the food options are incredible, and the movies they show are both newer movies and the classics. You can bring a camping chair as long as it isn’t super tall, but you can also just bring a blanket and make sure you can see. This is such a good weekday activity in Nashville! Here is more information: Night Light 615 9. NSC (Nashville Soccer Club) Game These games are so much fun. Honestly, Nashville has a great sports culture (not necessarily the best teams, but a great culture around sports). The new Geodis Park is home to the NSC, and it is so well-done. It has great food options (like the local Daddy’s Dogs), and you can get all kinds of drinks as well. Everyone who goes to these games make it more enjoyable. The chants, the cheers, the boos, all of it makes the experience one you won’t forget. Geodis Park is located near the Berry Hill area, and because it is a new stadium, the parking situation isn’t that great. I would suggest taking an Uber, but there is pretty limited parking in lots nearby. Also, after the game it will be pretty expensive to get an Uber to leave. Those are just minor details I...

Best toys, toons, music, and cereal. worst fashion and hair (let's be honest). They didn't have any funny memes in the 80's, that's for sure. But there was plenty of funny comics and cereals in real life to laugh at. Let's take a look back.
