Ernest Tubb Record Shop

This looks like my kind of place. The way you have toned this adds to the historic feel of the place.

Linda, The Ernest Tubb Record Shop is a very few of Nashville's country music landmarks that still exits in pretty much, it's original state.  I lived in Nashville on 3 separate occassions during the '70's & '80's and this was a place that I visited often. Actually, the last time I moved there (around '84")...it was prompted by an employment opportunity at Mr.Tubb's western store near the "new" Opry House". Although that arrangement never came to fruitition....I decided to move back to Nashville.  At that time, Broadway (the main drag through downton N-ville, and the location of the shop) had deteriorated to mostly closed, rundown store fronts, four or five porn shops, ....and save Tootsie's Orchid Bar & Lounge (famous hangout for almost every country star that's ever hit Nashville)...Ernest Tubb's was about all that was left of a once very lively part of town.  If you've ever watched "Coal Miner's Daughter"...one scene is actually shot in the record shop...and there's no Hollywood "doctoring up" of the place.  It's just as it looked at that time...and for that matter, just as it looks today.   In the '90s, there was a revitialization of that part of the city that I suppose, saved the place from falling completely to the ground...but as it usually goes with such programs...much of the atmosphere has been lost (much like what happened with the Beal Street revitalization in Memphis)...but at least there's a pretty good chance that if you visit the area...you'll live to tell about it, unlike the '80s!
