They're co-located with a coffee shop and have non-alcoholic options, there may be food trucks, and there are what seem like good dining options nearby.

If I'm not mistaken, there's a preseason NFL game on Saturday as well (Panthers at Titans). I'm glad I got the hotel room a month ago. Everything appears to be sold out at this time.

I'd love to drop by the get-together on Sunday, but not sure I will be getting in town in time to do so. If things change and I can make it, I will post. But for anyone in the Hendersonville area, I'll probably be having lunch on Monday (21st) at THE best BBQ restaurant anywhere, Centerpoint BBQ.

This was posted in the United forum. It has interesting historical cloud information for Tennessee in August.

I got the same screen for Franklin. Fortunately we booked ours over a month ago. We arrive late Friday night. If we get walked, do we get walked all the way to Memphis?
I looked at a website, sorry don't recall what it was, for house rentals and Jeez Louise! You're gonna pay a lot for a rental house or room at a B&B (if you can find one) eclipse weekend. $800-$3,000 a night!

Bus transport in Nashville is just okay. What I meant by mass transit was rail or subway system. Never gonna happen here.
I wish I could be more settled in my new house by eclipse weekend but with painters coming and going(not sure they will be finished so I can finish unpacking) and still half in boxes I can't even think about renting out bedrooms and bathrooms in my house right now but they would be very nice, private and comfortable and worth every penny.
Probably going to the Grand Ole Opry plaza party with friends from work. We are finalizing our plans tomorrow.

Hi all. I tentatively planning on traveling to Nashville to view the total eclipse. I booked the Holiday Inn Express in downtown Nashville on points, and have a flexible airfare. It all comes down to the weather. I'm definitely up for meeting up with other people.

FWIW Yazoo is a superior brewery to Jackalope aka "Joke a lope". My brother is a Brew master and if you drink beer from either of the 2 brewhouses in Williamson county (where Franklin is) he was the first brew master at both. He designed their brewing systems as well. He is no in Ft Worth at Wild Acre now so he has no dog in the hunt, but I know He never liked Jackolope. I would want visitors to have a good experience so I will try to steer you away from Jackalope. Most of the other Brewery's in town are pretty good. As a Nashville native I will tell you that both places are very close to good eating. Arnold's County Kitchen is the pinnacle of a southern meat n 3 and "Peg leg Porker" is really good BBQ. The owner was on "chopped". Biscuit love in the Gulch is also very good. The first 2 are only a block or 2 from those Brewery's. Biscuit love is maybe a mile away.
If you like Whiskey The is the award winning Corsair Distillery as well. They have won some big time awards. I am a big fan of their Triple Smoke. They give tours, but you need to email to reserve ahead for that. You can still walk in and try their products without the tour though.

I appreciate the suggestions, however, we're getting together on a Sunday. Yazoo looks to be closed Sundays while the one we're meeting at is open.
