Fun Animal Attractions for Nashville Couples

The city of Nashville may not be a haven to those that enjoy visiting animal-centric attractions, but there are still several great places in and around the city where animal lovers can spend some time. For those that enjoy these sorts of outings, consider making one of these spots into a date destination. The Nashville Zoo is the easiest to get to and offers a variety of exotic animals to see. If you don’t mind making the long drive, TennesseeSafari Park is another great place.

Movie review: 'Blue Jasmine'

I don't know about you guys but I almost never wind up picking more than one perfectly awesome rental movie in the same weekend. Usually, I grab a second thinking it's just a backup - in case I hate the first film I've picked. This weekend, I am so excited, because in the span of 24 hours I saw not one, but two outstanding films with notably outstanding acting performances: Blue Jasmine and Captain Phillips (which I will review, very soon). There is a reason both of these films are so highly regarded by critics.

A protected area for Tennessee’s wildlife, Radnor Lake State Natural Area is an amazing place for couples that like to get out into nature and do some wildlife spotting.

Does Nick Saban own college football like it's a family-reunion game of touch being played in his backyard?

Pretty much.

Let's see: passion, money, athletes, much-googled girlfriends? The Tide's got it all.

One thing they didn't have was a victory over Johnny Football. Now they've got that too.
