In recent weeks I've had quite a few FMTY meetings in Nashville. (I'm actually driving in)  I haven't really stayed long enough to get familiar with the area.  I'm also told there are a lot of areas a lady shouldn't go.  

I have a couple more FMTY meetings this month.  I'm planning to stay and check out the area.  I know music is huge and I'd love to check out the local bands.  Where is a safe place to see local music?  Is there an online resource to find local bands?

I eat clean, organic and as fresh from the farm as possible.  I do not get my groceries from a grocery store or eat at most chain restaurants.  Are there any farm to table restaurants?  Farmer's markets? Stores that sell local products from the local farms?  Farm Markets?

I really dislike mindlessly shopping, hanging out at the mall and chasing name brands.  I find it boring, mindless and time consuming so, unless I need something, I won't be shopping while in town.  What I do love is getting out in nature.  Where are the best hiking or walking trails, nature spaces and water to read a book by?  I'm a big outdoors person, I'm happiest in Nature.

What are the museums like?  I love to visit museums and historical sites. Their often expensive however, if I can learn something while enjoying myself, I'm a happy camper!

What else is there to do in Nashville and the surrounding areas?

I really love the limited visits I've done before, I'm super excited to explore Nashville
