Thomas Wolfe was right. You can't go "Home Again", especially when the home you knew is rapidly changing overnight. My "Nashville" was cool before it became "hip and cool." Long before Nicole Kidman moved here. I see glimpses of Nashville trying to hang onto it's standards like Bluebird Cafe, Music Row, and quirkly little vegetarian restaurants that were popular long before Whole Foods opened shop. I miss the old Brentwood where Mr. Huff worked behind the counter of Huff foods and the 1 hardware store was rarely busy. When Baskin Robbins came to town it was a big deal. I'll accept the Waffle House but somehow the rest of Brentwood seems out of place for me. All in all, I still love coming home and exiting off the Brentwood exit is always comforting and reassuring.
