When to go to Nashville?
Broadway's honky-tonks start playing in the early afternoon, three floors of a building at a time, and the music never quite stops. The Grand Ole Opry carries on the older ritual, while the Country Music Hall of Fame explains how all of it got here. A full-scale replica of the Parthenon stands in one of the city parks, an unexpected turn in a town built on country.
