east.

Again, it has been a busy one.  I actually work up this morning at a decent hour ad after a small breakfast had time to do some writing before my mutter picked me up to do some shopping.  We went out to East Nashville, which is a place that is getting more widely recognized and is the fastest growing area of Nashville.  That is just what I have heard; I’m not actually basing that on any statistics.

East Nashville is home to a lot of neat places and festivals.  Here are my favorites:

The Pied Piper Creamery: They have over 147 rotating flavors of homemade ice cream! Yum!

I Dream of Weenie: This hot dog joint is a VW bus/house.  They also have veggie dogs (which are delicious!).

The Tomato Art Festival: A festival dedicated to tomatoes.  What’s not to love?  There is music, art, a 5k, and good times including a costume contest all revolving around tomatoes.

The Wild Cow: A casual restaurant with a vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free menu. 

5-Points: This intersection is the center of the tomato art festival.  This area also features a variety of businesses, including 3 Crow Bar, Turnip Truck, Aunt April’s Bakery and Asphalt Beach. 

We met up with my fasha for lunch at the Rose Pepper.   If you haven’t been out there, it is definitely something to put on a to-do list.

Maybe I should start a restaurant reviews when I am done with the photo challenge because I love checking out new restaurants. Whatcha think about that?

My good deed of the day was picking up a nice hitchhiker and taking him downtown.  He was pretty nice and loved the music scene so we had something to talk about. 

I got home right before Bo got out of class and had time to do some more writing and homework, but it was such a beautiful day that I couldn’t let it go to waste.  Don’t you hate spending nice days indoor?  I know I do that is why we went to the park and feed the geese, squirrels, and birds.  Don’t worry we have animal food so as to not make them sick.  I love feeding the geese because they will eat right out of your hand.  I’m sure they are never go hungry; people are always there.

Enjoy the weather and be thankful for such a beautiful day!  Also I hear it is supposed to be in the 50s tomorrow.
