All that Nashville has to offer

Though we've only been here a week, I'm starting to find that Nashville is a lot different than what I expected. You can't always judge a book by its cover, right? Here are some of the cool things I've discovered about Nashville:

This is the AT&T building downtown, which Carter (0ne of the other
Hatch interns) told me everyone calls the 'Batman building.' Get it?!

Also, Nashville has a Parthenon replica. Like, actually. It's huge.

On Thursday we got a super fast 'insiders tour' of the Country Music Hall of Fame, which I am definitely going to visit again. This wall is covered in replicas of Hatch Show Prints!

The museum is arranged chronologically, and this rub-on was on the opposite side of a sewing table with an antique sewing machine on it. Risque!

One of my favorite things about the museum was the informational design. This map (above) and this exhibition signage (below) was designed by the in-house design team, many of whom were previous Hatch interns! (You can definitely see the typographic influence)

Krogers is the South-Eastern 'Safeway,' and we went in today looking for disposable Pie plates. But what we found....

TERRIFYING

Of course, if none of that is satisfying enough, there's always the Free Smells.
