The Gulch

So if you're in Nashville, you go to Emmy Square.

They've got a few locations, one in the Gulch, one in Green Hills.

Here's the thing.

They also have voted by the Nashville scene, I think, the best burger three years in a row.

I tried to get away from it, and I couldn't really.

Um, in two thou- 2012 or something, um, I get a call from Mark Robins, and he goes, "Hey, there's a Mexican restaurant opening in the Gulch." This is what he says to me, "At the Gulch.

Will you be interested? 'Cause they're looking for a manager.

Would you be interested in that?" I'm like, "Nah, I don't wanna work in a Mexican restaurant.

Nashville really is a city of neighborhoods, and it's the range of neighborhoods that make it an interesting place, but you're gonna have to use a lot of Uber or ride shares to get around.

Um, like, you know, whether you're going to The Gulch or 12 South or Germantown or Wedgwood-Houston, they're really kind of just diverse and interesting and, and very much where locals go.

However, the, like, say for example, go to downtown.

In downtown, the Ryman Auditorium, which is this church that became a concert hall that housed the original Grand Ole Opry Radio Show.

You got Ryman.

You got the Gulch.

I mean...

You got Jack Daniels like an hour out.

Right? But here's the thing, Nashville is in the top ten cities in the country for house price appreciation over the last decade, and it is also net less dense than it was.

So if you go to Nashville, you were living in Nashville, if you look downtown or you look at these new neighborhoods like The Gulch, what you see is a model of urbanism that I think many of us would embrace.

We'd say, "Look, they've figured it out.

They've cracked the code.

[laughs] Which, by the way, is still down there.

It's the one thing that's, that kinda stands out in the Gulch, you know, is, [laughs] is still the Station Inn.

It's still there.

Uh, and so Pam Tillis was really the first person I met in Nashville in music, believe it or not.

But it is a very clean city also, and I really appreciate that.

And we actually stayed a little, we could wander down to Broadway, but we stayed in this area called the Gulch.

Yes.

Which is more beautiful bars and beautiful restaurants.

Like it's just it's the sheer volume of it is is staggering.

Yep.

I'm glad you brought up the Gulch.

It is a great area and you get more of the locals culture, which is important when you get a chance to travel.
