"Pick Up A Local Paper To Know Whats Going On" Nashville Things to Do Tip by grishaV1

THE CITY PAPER is very good, free local paper that covers both current affairs, news, plus entertainment and eating guides, job seeking info, real estate, etc. Even if one does not want to read up about local news, from the large number of advertisements inside one can plan what wants to do while visiting. Also visit www.nashvillecitypaper.com for more information about where to find it, seems both most hotels, restaurants offer the paper free in racks at front doors.

ALL THE RAGE is more for the younger crowd it seems, more concert information, local bands, live music, celebrations, carnivals, festivals, that sort of thing. I really enjoyed the many terrific articles and interviews with local merchants and restauranteurs, to help one decide where they wish to go. Its very colourful, happening, chic. Some of the regular headings are: "Fashion Victim", "Chew On This", "Eat Beat" and "Why I Rock" covering male vs. female issues. You´ll notice the staff of the paper are all young people for the most part, didn´t see any I would guess over 35.

SOME UPCOMING OR RECENT EVENTS IN NASHVILLE:

September 10th, Motley Crue was at Starwood Amphitheatre

Sept. 9-11 The Australian Festival took place at Centennial Park. Also I think there was a Greek Festival this same time, but at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, everyone was welcome to attend.

Sept 18th Coldplay and Riley Owens will be at Starwood Amphitheatre also. All ticket info for this location can be found at www.ticketmaster.com or call 615-255-9600.

An Upcoming Event I would LOVE to see is Nine Inch Nails and Queens of the Stone Age, October 31 at the Gaylord Entertainment Center.

Oh wow, its so many to try to list. But if you are going to be in Nashville soon or before the year end, be sure and pick up a copy of ALL THE RAGE for all information for concerts: bluegrass, rock and roll, punk, local bands, classical, R&B, cause its all inside a great free paper.
