I'd never been to a proper, old-school wax museum with the weird, zoo-attraction like rooms that light up as you come upon them, so that one was kind of a surprise. Still one of the scariest/thrilling-est of my vacation experiences I can think of to date.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842611749073935723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-61791579949320593912013-04-15T08:15:06.833-05:002013-04-15T08:15:06.833-05:00They closed the wax museum and shipped the wax fol...They closed the wax museum and shipped the wax folks hither and yore a couple of years ago.

After close inspection, I think there's just a smaller, similar one in the same place for the neon of the <a href="http://www.scootersbars.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/8051.jpg" rel="nofollow">Paradise Park Trailer Resort sign</a>.

I love some vintage Nashville photos though, for SURE. :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842611749073935723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-63851678533068365982013-04-14T16:15:07.297-05:002013-04-14T16:15:07.297-05:00Haha, EK + PW = TRU LUV.

The birds-eye-view photos are crazy though...look how much more PARKING there once was in downtown Nashville. And all those 1930's government buildings that are still intact now. Nudie + Manuel suits FOR LIFE. :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842611749073935723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-35716555673952200372013-04-14T16:11:47.972-05:002013-04-14T16:11:47.972-05:00Right?

I can't believe how much it's stayed the same! That makes me happy, though I wish the furniture store was still there!

It's some of the most amazing music ever created! I love Nashville so much! My parents both had jobs that were based out of Nashville as I was growing up, so it was kind of a second home to me back then. Lovely to see how it looked in the late '60s! Wish I was there then!Dolly the Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05474700945219253368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-55733772870362234142013-04-12T14:51:57.809-05:002013-04-12T14:51:57.809-05:00Those photos are amazing!

The Mister and I used to stay in the wigwams every Fall but the last time that we went, we realized that we'd gotten too old for our back to handle it. :) I'm sure we'll try again one day but we'll take lots of Tylenol. Or booze since it's a dry town.

I love old pictures of Nashville - it's fun to see what's changed, and what hasn't changed (Ernest Tubb Records, I'm so happy you've stayed the sameeeee~).

The red looks to shiny to be socks. I sure do love Nashville.
