Broadway is a major thoroughfare in the downtown area in Nashville, Tennessee. It includes Lower Broadway, an entertainment district renowned for honky tonks and live country music. The street is also home to retail shops, restaurants, dessert spots, tourist attractions, and a few hotels. Originally named Broad Street, the eastern end of Broadway ended at the shipping docks on the Cumberland River. The popularity of Broadway declined for a time after the Grand Ole Opry left Ryman Auditorium in 1974, but the area came back to life when the Opry moved some shows back to the Ryman in the 1990s. Today, the historical buildings are home to retail shops and restaurants in addition to honky tonks. Many famous stars have gotten their starts in these venues, including Dierks Bentley, Gretchen Wilson, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Blake Shelton, and Kris Kristofferson. The entire Lower Broad district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.—Wikipedia
Nashville is the capital and most populous city of the state of Tennessee. The city is located on the Cumberland River and is the 23rd most-populous city in the United States. Named for Francis Nash, a general of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, the city was founded in 1779. The city grew quickly due to its strategic location as a port on the Cumberland River and, in the 19th century, a railroad center. A major center for the music industry, especially country music, Nashville is commonly known as "Music City". It is also home to numerous colleges and universities, including Tennessee State University, Vanderbilt University, Belmont University, Fisk University, Trevecca Nazarene University, and Lipscomb University, and is sometimes referred to as "Athens of the South" due to the large number of educational institutions. Cumberland Park is East Nashville's newest park. It took shape along the east bank of the Cumberland River in downtown Nashville. The park sits just south of Nissan Stadium, between the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge and the Korean Veterans Memorial Bridge Bridge. The area was once a high industrial and factory based river bank that was easily accessible to ships.—Wikipedia—This image was processed as an HDR (High Dynamic Range) composition.
