They also built viewing windows and observation decks, which allow for some pretty kick-ass views of the city. You can see everything from up there. Unfortunately, a good chunk of the view is taken up by the parking garage of the Bridgestone Arena, but what can you do?
Anyway, as cool as the building is, my intention was not really to provide a fact sheet about the Music City Center. So here's the point...
I had a realization last night at the opening that I absolutely moved to the right city. I mean, these people know how to throw a party. No matter what the occasion, they'll put up a stage and throw a concert. With so many musicians around, why not, right? So I'm sitting on a wall after sampling food truck food (There were three streets full of food trucks and I'm sorry, but food just tastes better when it comes from a truck. You know it's true.) and this breeze blows in while I'm listening to Sheryl Crow play. And then they set fireworks off the roof. Clearly they did not have to deal with as strict a fire marshal as the one who told us in high school that using a curling iron while getting ready to go on stage for a school production was a fire hazard. Anyway, where else are you going to get perfect weather, good food, a free Sheryl Crow show, and fireworks in the middle of downtown? Of course, I'll probably be singing a different tune in the middle of summer when it's 100+ degrees out, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. Anyway, it was a pretty darn perfect day/night.
All this is to say that I may not have found a real job or new friends yet, but I do believe I've found a home, and that's a pretty good start.
