>Never found any great antiques in Nashville. There was a decent flea market, but nothing to compare with the Philadelphia area.

But you can drown your tool sorrows with a Murphy's Irish Stout at Seanache (Nashville's finest Irish Pub (if its still there)), on the main drag there. Have yer self a bite of boxty as well!

Cheers,

Adam

>There is a Woodcraft store in Franklin, TN, about 20 miles south of Nashville, just off I-65. Store has been open for about 3 or 4 months. If interested, take I-65 south from Nashville, get off at Franklin-Murfreesboro exit (Hwy. 96, don't know exit number). Go right (toward Franklin). Take a left at the first red light onto South Royal Oaks Blvd., go to first (or second?) light and turn into Watson Glen Plaza. Woodcraft is in this shopping Plaza. Phone number is 615-599-9638.

>I just started lurking here and I am so sorry I didn't read your message until tonight. I travelled through Nashville on the way to Memphis and stopped off at Belle Meade, a completely preserved plantation with all the original furniture and trim. Fantastic!! If you ever go back to Nashville, be sure to check it out. Also, the original Andrew Jackson ancestrial home is in the area. I visited it once many years ago, but don't remember much about it except for a lecture from the guide on how the the front white columns were built, not of solid tree trunks, but of planks beveled and assembled like staves, with a cheaper rough verticle column going up the hollow center.
