where did the info for the Nashville tour go/

I've looked and looked and can't find the itenerary for the afternoon tour any more. Where are we going, and where did the info go?

Alice I don't know what happened to it???? I will check with Stephen shortly and get back to you.

It's still there: http://www.roadfood.com/store/roadfoodeatingtour/

Stephen, how do you get there if you don't use the link you just posted?

Are the tours still a go? I noticed this question has remained unanswered and some of the threads have disappeared regarding the trip.

The tour is still on.

thanks! New question: Where are the out of towners staying so Mom & I can join up with some fellow roadfooders Fri. night & Sun. morning?

Many of us are staying at the Sheraton Music City - located right near the airport.

I have tickets for the morning and afternoon and it is beginning to look like I won't be able to go--is anyone else interested in the tickets?

And I have two sets and am interested in selling one pair for morning or afternoon tour (not sure which). Any takers?

Looking for a hotel/motel Friday night. Ideal would have two beds.

With the marathon on Saturday, seems much is booked up.

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

We were able to get a room at the Hampton Inn on I-40 W. It's fairly close to the Loveless Cafe which is an ending & starting point for both tour. Good Luck!!

You might also try staying to the south of town - Brentwood/Cool Springs/Franklin areas have a lot of hotels. Nice safe areas. Easy to cut across to Loveless and keeps you out of the traffic for the Country Music Marathon. Franklin might be a little crowded as the Main Street Festival is going on that weekend. Anything down I-65 South between Nashville and Franklin though is good. I-24 on the South part of town can be a little iffy (the areas around it are now referred to as United Nations and there is a good bit of crime that direction) If staying in the Airport area - be sure to stay north of I-40 - Donelson Pike, Elm Hill Pike area, Opryland area. I wouldn't stay on anything on Murfreesboro Road/Spence Lane.

OH - Preston at the corner of I-40 and Briley Parkway is an older hotel that has undergone a thorough renovation and I have heard WONDERFUL things about it - it's a boutique hotel and it is safe.

If you go out west, look towards Bellevue. I probably wouldn't stay on White Bridge Road and would look closely at the ones on Charlotte - some areas are good others soso.

If anybody wants any specific information or to ask me about a particular hotel, feel free to email at mlinkinhokerAThotmailDOTcom

Wow! Thank you very much!

Have you stayed at the lodge/Inn at Montgomery Bell State Park? Prices are decent, but it's a 35-40 minute hike to the Loveless Cafe.

Hampton Inn looks great, but it's booked up for Friday night.

Thanks again!

I have not stayed at the lodge/inn but have been to events down there and it is nice. I do know a lot of people that have stayed there recently for a 'retreat' and thoroughly enjoyed it. The scenery is lovely.

There are several bed and breakfasts nearby. Let me take a look and get back with you on those. One is Brentwood Manor B&B nestled in the hills of Brentwood across from where Mr. Eddie Arnold lives. Very picturesque. There is another one a little futher away that friends have raved about but I can't think of the name of it to save my soul right now.

Amendment: I have, but would like to release, two tickets for the afternoon tour. Drop me a line or meet me at the Loveless!

We also have 2 tickets for the afternoon tour that we will not be able to use. Please email if you would like them.

I just spoke to some friends last night who are interested in afternoon tickets--I will definitely need 2 tickets and maybe 2 more (I will find out later about those).

Are there people who still have afternoon tickets available?
