Weekly Spa Guy Nashville Downtown History Spots Spa Guy

[@sandralybrand9407]

You are a walking encyclopedia! Very interesting! I learned something that they never touched on in school! I didn't know that Tennessee had two governors during the period before the civil war! Why in the world would they leave that out? It certainly would've peaked my attention! Thanks for the history lesson! I'm subscribed to the country music history channel and there's really some interesting stuff on there.

[@aqualibra961]

Interesting video! I currently live in Nashville TN, (for the last 30 years) and work for State Government. I walk through the area of buildings you showcased on a regular basis. The city has grown (and continues to) by leaps and bounds daily…. Like Literally. Great video and information! 🙂👍🏽 #myhomeNashville

[@johnroney4616]

Thanks for sharing me spa guy makes me want to move from southern California to Tennessee

[@jupite1888]

Love the Historical Videos too, And like always what buildings are historical and nice that the Tornadoes have not destroyed the Government will .

[@DenitaArnold]

Sadly this is also true for Dallas/ Fort Worth TX about tearing down old buildings. No concern for history. Thank you for your videos that help keep the memories

[@huntercamo8849]

Love the History

[@bonniebrown6960]

A lot of great history. As always I love all of your stories. Thank you for sharing this with us Spa Guy.

[@ksgtrpkr]

Fantastic information Billy! I really love learning this stuff and you my brother are an excellent narrator!!

[@91MustangLX]

That little Porsche sure has a nice sound when you give it some throttle

[@weeklyspaguy]

It is pretty mean sounding especially around 5500 rpms..

[@karensundin3399]

My Dad when he was alive would stand on the street corner during election time with a sign that said Jesus for President 🙏♥️🙏♥️. He had people honking for Jesus ❤️. My Dad also ministered to young men in prison. Miss him every day❤️. Great video Billy🧡

[@jayedwards4863]

Thanks Billy for the tour of Nashville. I like to see more. I was there with my mother the week that Porter Wagoner passed away. I was there actually recording demos on music row in a studio that Jimmy Buffett owned. We stayed in a hotel on Denombrium street where allot of country music artists stayed at. Not sure if it is still there but you can see it from I-40 near the bridge. I forgot the name of it what it use to be. But the hallway was lined up with autographed pictures of artists. I think the hotel was there in the 60s. I stayed there in 2009 I think it was. And it changed hands several times and changed names to a national chain. I'm sorry I missed spelled the name of the street. But could you tell me what the name of the hotel was?

[@mrDCunningham]

This is really cool. I loved it 👍🏻😎

[@connielamb6257]

Wow. I never knew Mr. Presley spoke at the capital. Never ever heard of such. Maybe you could speak more on this event. Just heard lil things, like how that hotel, Sheridan, was one of the tallest building. I remember it was like you could see without an end. It was a sight, inside and out, from mornin time or nighttime. Ps, couldn't help but to lol when I heard you drove for a good minute looking for the mall. Highly enjoyed this. 👍

[@genemadsen8141]

Thanks Billy for another great tour of Nashville.

[@debbiecraddock7204]

Hi Spa Guy You are a man that knows his History. Maybe you should take up giving tours. Very Impressive.. Love your videos..

[@weeklyspaguy]

I am doing tours in Memphis from time to time now out of my Museum.. The TigerMan Karate Dojo and Museum ..

[@travisnicks3688]

Also my Grandfather was Elmer Fudpucker. I met and spent time with DJ Fontana as a kid. DJ played drums for a while for my granddad.

[@nunyabeeswax3936]

Worked at one of those places now gone and attended services at another.Wow!

[@jackiecooper8027]

Looks like a lovely place with lots of history. Would be lovely to visit Nasville one day. Thank you for sharing these stories Billy.

[@lynnelovett8999]

Thank you for the history of Nashville,TN and of course on Evis and Roy Orbison. Love it ! Also love the Zac Brown Band. Amen for Mr. Al. RIP Mr. Al. Was the building where the guy blew it up with a bomb rebuilt ? Thank you Mr. Spa Guy. Say hellow to Ms Lori. God bless you and yours.

[@weeklyspaguy]

They are still working on the bomb area..

[@gracieg7601]

Billy there’s a place called the broken spoke in Austin Texas. It’s the oldest honky Tonk in This area. It maybe in Texas. Not sure. They have lunch all week and construction workers ham pack it all week. At night it opens the back and there’s drinking and dancing going in till 2 am.

[@wesleybiggs439]

Yes the archive is moving everything to the new building. I heard rumblings (being in state government) that the Supreme Court of Tennessee (building next door) was going to use the old archive building as well.

[@TrueCrimewithdiamonddave]

A nice time is riding the Gen Jackson up and down the Cumberland.

[@brianandrews7099]

Downtown Nashville was my old “stomping ground” when I was attending MTSU back in the early 1990s but I hadn’t been back there for more than 20 years. I was in town in October and November of this year and I was shocked at how much it had changed. Most sadly to me was to see the old car dealerships (and neon signs) on Broadway come down; mostly just to build high rise condos. People seem happy about the changes but it looks to me that it is just looking too much like Atlanta.

[@gracieg7601]

Look forward to your story about Elvis speaking at the capitol.

[@sandralybrand9407]

Billy when you showed the Capital building, it brought to mind a story that Billy Smith told on his channel. He told about Elvis being invited to the Govenors mansion. There were alot of signatories there and they had a buffet line. Billy and Elvis were getting their food and Elvis came to a food he didn't recognize. He says " What is that shit? Of course everybody heard it including the Governer. He said the Governer started laughing. Get Billy to tell you the story if you think about it, next time you see him.

[@BrianandChristine1210]

Thank you so much for showing us the tour around Nashville. I'm a big fan of American history and what you showed us was really amazing Billy. Beautiful car you're driving too. Is it a Porsche?

[@weeklyspaguy]

Yes that is a Boxter.. Fun Car!!

[@gracieg7601]

Love your car too.

[@gracieg7601]

Billy talking about Aimee Grant - have you heard her song Bartender blues? She said she can’t work it into her set but she sang it in honor of george jones.

[@memphistenn77]

I been to Nashville a few times, didn't really care for the city part ,its to new country for me but I'm still it's got some awesome history in different places!!! I'll go back again just to see what's new I guess.....

[@rogerjean5403]

Also Billy great job but you need a better mic aux to plug in cause at times when camera is facing away from you your voice gets faint so maybe a mic to clip on your shirt would be great.ty Billy keep it up love it

[@weeklyspaguy]

I use 2 mics which face me no matter what direction the camera is turned.. a Lapel mic would be a whole new set of problems..

[@cindythecatwoman1601]

I've noticed that too. Sometimes it's hard to hear him. I thought it was just me.

[@bradslone8511]

It's been a while since I've been to Nashville. Many years.

[@cindythecatwoman1601]

That's cool Amy Grant and, Michael W. Smith started there. Amy is my all time favorite singer and, why I became a born again Christian at 10 years old. Listening to her Father's Eyes and, Age to Age cassettes is what made me believe. I have all of her CDs and, went to 2 of her concerts in Syracuse NY. I like Michael W. Smith too but, not as big of a fan. That's a good story about that Pastor going to churches pretending to be a bum. Those are the people Jesus wants us to talk to.

[@juliaarmes6932]

Would love to see you do: The horrific fire March 22 of1916. East Nashville had over 500 homes destroyed, calling it " the fire of the century" & left 2,500 folks homeless. __ Also cover the" GreaT Train Wreck of 1918",Tw0 trains hit head on, killing at least 101,& injured at least 171 more people. It was deadliest US train wreck. My parents survived both. Thanks,& enjoy your video's!👣

[@weeklyspaguy]

Yes Sad Stuff! I have filmed the story but was reaching out for an interview with Brent Cobb but never heard from him so I don't really have eight to complete the story other than the murder.. I really wanted to honor Wayne with more than just the incident..

[@mikeclifton2824]
