May 5 - Franklin, Tn.

Sunday we drove down to Franklin had a great lunch at Puckett's and walked the historic Main Street. After our walk we drove to "The Factory". The Factory used to be a large manufacturer of wood an/or coal burning stoves and when electric ranges/ovens came along this huge building became a shell. Now it is full of small unique stores, eateries, antique stores and entertains 1000's with live concerts.
Monday we left Nashville, promising to come back. In fact, just a few miles out of Nashville Carol says to me, "You know I could live here".

 

Memorial for Confederate soldiers in Franklin's town square, or round about now.
