As much as I love traveling, I spend 99.9% of every trip thinking about my dog. 🥺 Dogs make our lives better in countless ways, and for people partnered with service dogs, that bond can be truly life-changing. Retrieving in the Round returns September 19 for a night of live music, incredible dogs, and a mission close to any dog lover’s heart: supporting service dog partnerships that make greater independence possible. Support the cause and enter to win two tickets to the event!*

FOOD AND DRINK FUN

When I first came to Nashville in 2015 as a wee college intern, the live music absolutely blew me away, but the first thing that really captured my heart (and my taste buds) was the food. Nashville’s food and drink scene is still one of my favorite things about this eclectic city, so we rounded up some upcoming festivities worth saving your appetite for.

IN THE FUTURE

LOCALS ONLY

• It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood. What would make it even better? Wine. Even better than that? Discounted wine. On Tuesdays, the Nashville community is invited to enjoy half off bottles of wine and signature cocktails at Signature in The Union Station Nashville Yards! 🍷
