The Station Inn: Been there, Scene that

This post is a contribution from Casey Henry, who writes from Nashville. It was initially posted in The B.

This week’s issue of the The Nashville Scene is the annual Best Of Nashville issue. They scour the city looking for the best of everything, and I mean everything. Our very own Station Inn garners recognition as “Best Urban-Development Holdout.”

It is praised for holding its own against the upscale establishments going up around it, and they point out that the Station just leases the building it is in so, theoretically if the owner decides not to renew the lease, that could be it for our favorite Nashville landmark. The Time Jumpers, who play at the Station every Monday night earned “Best Monday Night Music” (I can’t find that one on their webpage just at the moment) and Edgar Meyer rated “Best Classical Musician.”
