Clarksville was also a great place to be, especially since many troops are returning from their service for OUR freedom:. And half way in-between Nashville and Clarksville, Ashland City lit up the sky over their Riverfront as well:. Special thanks to all that took the time to film these great displays of fireworks and for allowing me to borrow them from You-Tube! It was a great weekend, but is now time to return to helping future homeowners find the perfect new home for their needs.
Monday is Memorial Day, a day for many that includes a celebration of hot dogs, hamburgers, barbecue, chicken, and bsaically anything that can be cooked on a grill.
Although our model homes at Ole South will be closed in observation of Memorial Day, we are open on both Saturday and Sunday, and anytime by appointment. Drop by for a cold drink and cookie and find out for yourself that…. The weather was gorgeous as we approached Old Hickory Lock.
The lock works much like the tank on your toliet. Flush to go down, fill it to go back up. Within minutes, we were flushed down to the river below. We exited Old Hickory Lock at pm. There are many interesting sites, and a lot of history along this river.
It was great to see that many homes damaged in the May flood have been rebuilt. But there are also those that have not. There will be visual reminders of this catastrophe for years to come but now is a great time to buy riverfront property for a completely different and relaxing lifestyle. And even though there is the chance of flooding, the investment potential is great. There was considerably more barge traffic on the river than usual. Lots of sand, and even more coal! It is amazing that each barge can hold the equivalent of 53 tractor-trailer loads of material.
Yep, a long damn time. Before she passed away last year, Martha joined us for a day on the boat and we learned the history of each individual the Ingram boats are named after.
Seeing the Martha Denton brings a smile every time we pass. A very fitting tribute to a great lady. Downtown Nashville is simply beautiful. The river flows through its center much like blood flows through the heart of the body.
I hope one day Nashville can have a Riverfront to be proud of, much like Knoxville and Chattanooga. Clarksville has greatly improved their riverfront and docking facilities too. The administration of Mayor Karl Dean is directing much-needed emphasis to the East Bank and it is great to see the progress.
Richard Fulton was the first mayor to acknowledge that we even have a Riverfront, and the docking facility we currently have was built on his watch. Nothing much has happened since then, except for the addition of courtesy docking for LP Field and Mayor Bill Purcell removing docking privilidges during holidays and special occasions under the disguise of Homeland Security concerns.
Regardless, it was a stupid policy that remains in effect to this day. In reality, it is time for all of the docking facilities to be located on the East Bank. Spend the night on a boat at Riverfront Park, or try and navigate a string of barges under the Shelby Pedestrian Bridge and you too will agree. Friday evening, it was our intention to hit the nightspots of downtown in a big way. We never made it. Too much good food and good friends to leave!
I am thankful for having many good friends that helped make turning 50 more fun than it would have been otherwise! Birthday week will be one to remember. You see, man can live by corn cakes alone! Like me, this restaurant has been in Nashville for 50 years plus also! After spending a whole day cleaning the boat, another great surprise was coming home Monday evening to see this:. Thanks to Dana Moore and his crew, mulching is one less thing I have to do!
Fortunately, we have been quite busy lately and are starting more new homes each week to keep pace with sales! Now is a great opportunity to purchase a new home in Nashville. Our local economy is steadily rebounding, but interest rates remain historically low. Why not give me a call at Not sure where you want to live?

The one with a freshly mulched yard that needs a new roof. Regardless of your religious preference or faith, this time of year is all about coming back to life. Brown grass is turning green, leaves are appearing on once-bare trees, and flowers are sprouting. What is back? Doctors, Lawyers, Politicians, and other rich and powerful folk used to grace her decks and dining salons. Mayfield used to have remote broadcasts on her from Riverfront Park? What a coincidence she was feet long too!
Everybody always waved at the owner. He was a fun and popular guy. I have always wondered what happened to this Cumberland River icon. I heard it had sunk, then there it was laid up at Rock Harbor in pretty rough shape. Then, she disappeared and we never knew what happened. Dolce Vita, at Rock Harbor Marina - in the early 's. There is something about older, classic boats. The rich wood paneling, the classic lines, and the teakwood decks are not quite as evident on modern-day yachts.
He really is a gracious and colorful guy… and was a great host. Back to the story. I recently heard a rumor that it had been sold again, and was back in Nashville, tied to a bank of the Cumberland River below downtown. I asked them to be on the look out to confirm the rumor of Dolce Vita being back in town.
This morning at am, I received these pictures. Well, I will be damned. There it is. I certainly hope the new owner will restore the classic lines she once had. Another certainty…. That is a strong commitment someone is apparently making. Best of luck to them. Now, on to another subject…. Swim by choice in Old Hickory Lake or your own swimming pool. Check this out:. But even if you do, you can dock it just a few footsteps away at the new Blackjack Cove Marina! Might as well leave the cooking behind too!
This morning, we gathered for breakfast at Blackjack Cove Marina to say good-bye to more great friends, Cona and Rudy Rundlett, and Lucy — the lucky dog. The heavy rains last week delayed their trip until this morning. Their voyage will take them down the Cumberland River into Lake Barkley, through the Barkley Canal, up the Tennessee River on Kentucky Lake, down the Tombigbee Waterway to the Mobile, where coins will be flipped to see where in the Gulf of Mexico they want to go next!
On their travels, they are going to see many beautiful sights and meet many new friends. Speaking of friends, they will probably catch up with Charlotte and Bill who also recently deserted us in Marathon Key. Rudy assures us they have no set schedule. Good thing because their next delay is a string of barges approaching the lock at Old Hickory Dam!
Thats just more time to enjoy this beautiful sunny day in Nashville. May God be with Cona and Rudy on their travels until we meet again, which we hope will be soon! It is another fine fall day in Nashville. Why not fill your day doing some fun things for a change? The atmosphere is incredible, the food is great, and prices are affordable too! Check out their website www.
No, I am not there today, but many of my friends are. I am consuming a bowl of raisin bran before someone buys new home today. I am here:. But, I will be at The Black Pearl after ! Very stupid. Home affordability is at a peak right now. Fixed interest rates are at a year low.
