Downtown living in high-rise apartment buildings and stylish lofts is on the upswing. Historic 2nd Avenue offers a lively nightlife, with restaurants, coffee houses, nightclubs, and shops. Many of these downtown hotspots are housed in renovated warehouses that echo Nashville’s history of river commerce.
The Frist Center for the Visual Arts presents exhibitions of the world’s greatest art in a spectacularly renovated former Post Office Building. The downtown Nashville Public Library is a truly magnificent building, incorporating a delightful children’s library, computer facilities, and an impressive collection of books, tapes, CDs, and videos. If you’re interested in the performing arts, look no further than the Tennessee Performing Arts Center which hosts performances by the Nashville opera, ballet, and theater groups, including its annual “Broadway Series”. The Grammy award winning Nashville Symphony Orchestra is housed in the Schermerhorn Symphony Center where they perform 140 performances per year. Another popular downtown attraction is the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, where country music fans can view dynamic exhibits highlighting the best of country music.
Nashville has emerged as a home for professional sports, entertainment, and fun. The Tennessee Titans bring NFL action to the downtown riverfront at LP Field. The NHL’s Nashville Predators offer 40-plus home games a year on the ice at Sommet Center, which also is the venue for many rock and pop concerts.
