aahhh so cool my bf and I just took this tour when we visited Nashville in the summer and it was definitely worth the ticket price since u can get on and off all day but I will say you really missed out not going to the farmers market stop ...it was by far my favorite stop on the tour because there were so many vendors selling things and an awesome food court if you go back definitely stop and buy some of the georgia peaches they sell there so good 👍

[@Invisible_Socks]

I live in Nashville and work in a building adjacent to the farmers market. I walk there for lunch usually every day. The vendors really only come out every Thursday through Sunday FYI. But the restaurants are there every day (some are closed on Mondays)

[@terrancechilds3049]

Welcome to America and have a good time when you are here

[@QuincyDisneyVegan]

Music row is known for its nighttime scene. You guys should come check it out after COVID goes away so that you can see what it's truly like there

[@HBC423]

There is a giant statue of Athena in the Parthenon also

[@michaelmullard4292]

Fun video! Her Royal Highness, TS, must address the issue with her flag on top of the building so that her subjects know when she is in residence.

[@javiervalverde628]

Now I want to visit Nashville! Thank you Joel and Lia!

[@michaelmullard4292]

Farmer’s Markets are always fun places to explore. Will definitely go there in August. Thanks for the tip!

[@Hbeth]

We, the Legends, should hold a J&L Legends Group Meet Up there in Nashville in August!!

[@Synapse928]

If you guys ever make it Savannah, GA, use this same Trolley company! They give a great tour, very informational, and offer the same off and on option which is PERFECT for the historic district of Savannah.

[@BabyJustn]

I think Europeans would really love Savannah- I think they really miss out to going more

[@Synapse928]

@@BabyJustn Agreed! So much history which a Brit would be surrounded by normally, so it'd be interesting to see what the differences were.

[@tallactordude]

I’ve taken the Old Town Trolley tour in Savannah around Christmas time, and it was a lot of fun.

[@dorismedvetz5796]

Music row is where country music history happened and happens

[@teknekon]

Happy New Year Legends!!! Fun video mates! Loved it! Thanks for sharing! L&C 👍😘❤️🇬🇧

[@marthadeleon1566]

Great seeing you guys! Good end to my day, cheers 🥂!

[@Blusoup1]

It was cool that my office building was in your video. I have worked on music row for 18 years now and it definitely not what it used to be. Some music companies have moved to other areas of town to newer buildings. It doesn’t have the same nostalgia that it used to because of all of the new construction around there, but I still really enjoy working there, when we’re not working from home that is. You are still just scratching the surface of what all there is to see and do in Nashville.

[@dylanhester4194]

As someone who has lived in Nashville for 15 years y’all need to come in the fall and winter to see the fall colors. Also to go to all the great cheep basketball.

[@tallactordude]

Another Nashvillian here, who has had those Old Town Trolleys pass right by me many times. Unfortunately, lots of people are not wearing masks even though Omicron is very contagious; I wear one whenever I’m out in public indoors, and sometimes outdoors. The Parthenon is worth stopping and visiting; there’s actually an art museum inside as well as a huge statue of Athena. I’m afraid you weren’t all that close to the Bluebird Café, which is in a part of town called Green Hills and isn’t all that impressive to see from outside, though it’s pretty important inside.

[@christianoliver3572]

So good to see y'all having a great time!! Happy New Year to you both!!

[@jmdyt3626]

I’m also from England and have always wanted to go to the USA and recently been looking at going out there for a few weeks next year, Nashville really intrigues me as I play guitar and love music and I know they are known for that so think it would be cool to be in that

[@patd9737]

I can't believe that, once again, you visit a chain restaurant instead of trying to seek out restaurants that are unique to the city! There are Panera Bread restaurants in every major U.S. city. Music Row is where most of the major recording studios are for country music. You could have visited RCA Studio B, where Elvis Presley recorded many of his hit records. Though I do enjoy Taylor Swift's music, many people will tell you that she's mostly a pop star and not making country music any more. I will give you credit for showing the Parthenon, which is something special in Nashville. Please do your research before you take the trips and show us what's interesting about the city!

[@johnrodrigues5974]

In this video I saw you pass The Large brick building “Marathon”. It is owned by “Antique Archeology” a popular TV show.

[@TimSmith-uc4pk]

Nashville has some really great places to eat and you guys go to Panera Bread. Puckets is better than Panera.

[@pacmanc8103]

For some reason, I associate Panera Bread bakeries with suburbs and malls, not in a city center. At least where I live, downtown eateries are more unique and local.

[@marydavis5234]

They always go to chain restaurants, when they are in the US and then complain about the food, when they went to Texas , they ordered a chicken sandwich and a turkey sandwich at a BBQ place and the title said We are trying Authenic Texas BBQ, you should have seen all the comments saying you are not having Texas BBQ.

[@joanellebracht5311]

Love your 💓 shades Lia and Joel, your hair looks awesome. Y'all have the best "job" ... Great friends exploring the world together!! 🥰

[@fred993a]

I can't picture Lia dancing at a Honky-Tonk!

[@mollynash2597]

I work near the Parthenon.

[@poindexterjones206]

I live in Nashville. Glad you had a good time.

[@brentwoodbay]

Do you only visit cities? Like when you visit Miami, do you take a trip into the Everglades or the keys? In Las Vegas, do you go out and see Red Rock Canyon or Valley of Fire?

[@Jack_Stafford]

There should be an Everglades video coming up, and I agree the rock formations, Grand Canyon Etc or must do next time in LA or Las Vegas. There are day trips from everywhere in the region to go to these really impressive once-in-a-lifetime sites. Plus, this is a visual medium and the potential for stunning pictures amongst the Rocks Etc is so much better than yet another American Downtown City which really one looks much like the other.

[@EEVOL]

My mom and I love watching your vids. This will definitely be on top of our queue to watch tonight for dinner!! Happy New Years!

[@imoutsideurwindow]

I'll never forget when one of my friends told some workers and the side of the at&t batman building to do a flip off the side and got security called on us

[@rachelgates509]

You should’ve gone in there at the Parthenon! There’s a full-size replica statue of Athena painted in gold that’s about 35 feet tall I think! I just know that the statue of Nike the angel standing on her hand is as tall as I am!

[@Kenjanz]

@7:00 Music Row isn't (or wasn't) about touristy things, it was just the place where a bunch of studios and record labels had their Nashville HQ's. There's not really much to see there because with the advent of the internet, most of the record labels have left and home studios have replaced the formal "storefront" ones. There are SO MANY private studios hidden in the residential neighborhoods surrounding Nashville. Music Row is now slowly turning into a bourgeoise residential and "niche" retail location, as well as businesses that just want to have that prestigious address.

[@bridgetryan-samonte8138]

I forgot did you guys see the Grande ol Opry? Because that's stunning

[@Jack_Stafford]

There is an earlier video where they spent quite a bit of time there! It's pretty amazing!

[@joanfinocchiaro5527]

A very happy 2022 🎉! A joy to see Lia's engagement video...wonderful of you to share. You both are flourishing!!! A humble legend, lol. 😆

[@spanishdncr71]

They have a microwave near the front of Panera that you can use and you could’ve heated up your own kitchen sink cookie. The kitchen sink cookie got me through isolation in 2020❤ I put on two stone, but it was good for my mental health 😂😂😂

[@Jack_Stafford]

Inside the Parthenon they even built an original representation of what the giant 4 story statue of Athena would have been like. I hope you guys have a chance to actually tour this beautiful Art Museum and experience all of its grandeur up close. And of course would make for some stunning pictures of you guys relaxing on the grass with the Parthenon in the background! And it only cost $10. :-)

[@staceyswafford]

Yall just come on back

[@tylerthompson6867]

Ah you’re 3 hours from me! I’m from Memphis and I’ve been watching your videos for years now. Love them!

[@kimmccutchen1326]

I thought u guys already left TN. But Nashville is known for hot chicken and Memphis is known for BBQ. Central BBQ known as the best in TN which is here in Memphis. Memphis only 3 hours away to the West of Nashville. And Memphis is also the home of Elvis, Rock and Roll w Sun studios and the Blues. Can't miss Beale St.

[@catherineavakian5833]

You two make everything so fun!

[@kevinraney2935]

Awesome video y'all!

[@nickinportland]

3:20 y’all should have hit up that Sonic drive in behind you. Cherry limeades and rootbeer floats mm

[@marydavis5234]

There is a Sonic in the UK.

[@Jack_Stafford]

Diet Cherry Limeade is my favorite, in the Giant 44oz cup with crushed ice! And they do have some good food there!

[@targetedplantsguy9481]

Now I have to go to Nashville

[@dr.westwood]

Happy New Year

[@michaelevans1193]

The Marathon Motor Works building you showed in passing is where the Nashville location of Antique Archeology is housed. The owner is the star of a US reality show called “American Pickers” where they look for “rusty gold”.

[@passingthroughtime3033]

Looks wonderful!

[@sadmadworld8889]

Looked like a great experience!

[@kenardturner7173]

Something interesting to see is at the Century Park in Nashville. It's an exact replica of the Parthanon Temple like at Athens, Greece.

[@tallactordude]

It’s actually called Centennial Park, but yes, the Parthenon is well worth seeing.

[@patd9737]

They didn't go inside, but the Parthenon was shown in the video.

[@kenardturner7173]

Actually it's Centennial Park. I was there a year ago. The statue of Athena is quite impressive.

[@Jack_Stafford]

They did see it in a drive-by, but it's one of those things you don't want to see from a block away to really get an idea of the Grandeur and specialness of the place. And of course the Fantastic art museum inside including the four-story statue of Athena just like the original had!

[@yaimavol]

You should go in the parthenon next time. Very impressive

[@Jamieaaronball03]

I’m so glad you guys went to Nashville. I live in Ohio but I love Nashville so much that I buy concert tickets and go down there ALL the time. I always go see Delta Rae when they are preforming there, they are amazing live, check them out!

[@ritabroils6190]

I wonder where you both were. Looking forward to seeing today's vlog.

[@waywardstitch8604]

So cool. I'm suddenly aware that I've never given a thought about visiting Nashville. But now I want to go there too! 😍

[@hawaiijim]

I'm American and I've never been to Tennessee.

[@marydavis5234]

I went on a girls only family vacation, We rented a lake Cabin in Tennesse and the next morning at Breakfast , We were told by our waitress, that we had missed meeting Dolly Parton by 3 days.

[@Jack_Stafford]

I was driving across America to Florida and went through Tennessee and was absolutely stunned by the beauty of the state! Even using the interstate I crested a hill and came across a valley that would not have looked out of place in the Austrian Alps. A beautiful Lake in a valley surrounded by mountains with sailboats and natural beauty everywhere. Tennessee is beautiful, affordable, has so much entertainment and I think may be one of the next big places that people will move to, and unfortunately ruin, like Austin Texas was in the 90s, Central Florida before that and so forth. But for now, it is fantastic!

[@hytgzl789]

That's amazing. Just one thing l am jealous of seeing is that the weather is very nice and sunny which is unbelievable in winter.Oooo how lovely to see it. That's why l am talking about the weather as a person who has been living in the Uk:(

[@michaelbuhl4250]

If you have time, The Station Inn has good bluegrass music.

[@eurow3808]

“Taylor swift’s local panera” 😆👏

[@michaelbuhl4250]

You basically toured all of the places I've been actively avoiding over the last 20 years, although, I will say that Bella Nashville in the Nashville Farmers' Market has the best pizza in town. You used to be able to tour Studio B on music row, which is where Elvis and others recorded, but I think they tore it down. I don't know of any recording studios you can tour these days. Bluebird Cafe is in Green Hills, which is far away from any of the places you went in this video.

[@patd9737]

Studio B is still there. I took a tour in July 2021.

[@michaelbuhl4250]

@@patd9737 good to hear. A high school classmate of mine was a tour guide there many years ago.

[@Jack_Stafford]

Why would you want to avoid these places?!

[@michaelbuhl4250]

Because they are packed with tourists.

[@Jack_Stafford]

And... that's a bad thing? Aren't there normally lots of nice things and some of the best things a city has to offer in tourist areas, which is how they become tourist areas?

[@moemoe211]

@joelwood your voice over work on this video made your voice so low and soothing. I would fall asleep to your voice from this video. ❤️

[@Chrisygirl]

Love the famers market. And one time I toured those apartments in the old marathon factory near there by pretending my boyfriend and I were rich. They were really cool.

[@saratemp790]

I enjoyed seeing some of the city there. And Taylors house!

[@jrhackman7414]

Next video: Joel gets arrested for stalking Taylor Swift.

[@Jack_Stafford]

Naw, his fanship of her is very endearing!

My home sweet home!’

[@stephanieallen7121]

Looks fun!

[@marzxbarz]

Pro tip for the next time you're in Panera: There's usually a self-serve microwave you can use to heat up or reheat your goods. :)

[@richardbustamante8795]

You should hit up my old stomping ground. San Francisco.

[@Timotimo101]

I love it! :)

[@deannaeakle8680]

Y’all could have spent the whole month in the Nashville area and still not seen every museum, club and recording studio

So Prilliant

[@booboohyde7806]

i live in mount juliet

[@keeylyme]

Music Row has changes so much in the 30 years I've been here. A lot of Music Row has been bought up by investors, which saddens me. "The Row" has lost it's vibe. The "nekkid" people statue on the roundabout wasn't here when I arrived.

[@booboohyde7806]

i live there

[@gillianboakes9455]

Such a short vid. Would have loved more. 😥

[@TomHendricksMusea]

Sadly only 3 Labels, The Big Three Labels, control the entire music industry and mostly block out all new music.

[@mudcatjones9366]

Taylor Swift is good at what she does, but she isn't really a country music artist. You cant compare her style to Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline or other women who really sang good country music.

[@lynnstanton7018]

Waste of money when we drive around there free

[@mermaid1717]

Honestly it's truly laughable that Taylor ever got a break/discovered because the girl could NOT carry a tune when she was first famous. Her live voice was soooo bad.

[@mr.balloffur]

No masks!

[@jeffgumer3784]

They are outdoors.

[@EricaGamet]

@@jeffgumer3784 Outdoors isn't magic though (especially with Omicron)... and the bus wasn't truly outdoors. They did say they were going with what other people were doing... but that just means tourists downtown from all over so many of them not wearing masks.

[@Jack_Stafford]

They did what they were told and did what other people were doing. This was over a month ago before the new extra version. Plus, the US had just reopened its borders because the numbers have gone down so much and many mask mandates had ended. It was before the most recent variant. As long as they are doing what is asked and required and what other people are doing, I don't know what anyone else could expect someone to do.

[@mr.balloffur]

@@Jack_Stafford I expect people to wear masks. Just because a bunch of people in Tennessee are doing something, is that a reason not to keep yourself safe? Especially when you have to take a plane home and see your family.

[@marythompson558]

I do not even know when the last time Taylor recorded in Nashville was. Pretty sure it's just empty real estate at this point. You guys and New York City have her now.
