Down by the Cumberland
Nashville sits on the Cumberland River, and it has been Tennessee's permanent capital since 1843. Long before that, keelboats carried tobacco and cotton from Nashville down the river toward New Orleans. What does the river mean to you? Maybe a walk across a bridge at dusk, a fishing spot or the view from downtown. Describe it the way you would to a friend who has never been here. Pictures painted in words have a way of lasting.
