- Take in some local literary flavor at Parnassus Books.
Parnassus / Facebook It’s free unless you buy something - which you will most definitely be tempted to do. But hey, supporting local is good!
- Hike the loop at Radnor Lake.
Michael Hicks / Flickr Even Taylor Swift has been lauded for making a loop around the lake - claims it’s a great place to make conversation with her friends.
- Join the joggers at Shelby Bottoms.
StudioMobile / Flickr If the slight incline doesn’t get you, the gorgeous views will - in the best way.
- Take some time to reflect at Bicentennial Park.
Kim Unertl / Flickr Plus, that skyline view? Love it.
- Wander the stalls at the Nashville Farmer’s Market.
Denise Mattox / Flickr The local produce and wares are more than solid, and we’d like to come back every day.
- Play a pickup game at Centennial Park.
Bekah Cope / Flickr Except not at night, of course.
