Now the particulars:

Trolley Tour – 9:00 AM – this is a hop on–hop off sightseeing tour for 90 minutes – Trolley comes by each stop approximately every 30 minutes. Information for the tour is at https://www.trolleytours.com/nashville/old-town-trolley-tour, but do not reserve at this point.  You need to reserve your own seat at www.trustedtours.net/nvgroups for the Trolley Tour.  There is no date selection; the tickets are good for a year, although our intended day is Monday, 7 October.
Buying Trolley Tickets:  go to www.trustedtours.net/nvgroups and click on “Old Town Trolley Tour of Nashville” block, $39.95; add quantity, add to cart, and check out;  add coupon code Speer2019 and click apply (15% discount for Class of ‘72); continue the check-out process; the total should be $33.96 pp.
The Trolley Tour actually starts at 9:00 AM, Stop #1, about .8 mile from the hotel. The plan is to meet at Stop #1, 201 Broadway and 2d Ave S, beside Rock Bottom Brewery, underneath their marquee, at 8:45 AM to ensure we get on!  We will get off at Stop #14, the Gulch, where we will have lunch.  No R.s.v.p. necessary.
*If you want to attend this tour, please register soon on the Old Town Trolley Tour site before trolley fills up! 

Two lunch choices:  The Potbelly Sandwich Shop (220 11th Ave S; https://www.potbelly.com/menu; opens 11:00 AM) OR Biscuit Love (316 11th Ave S; https://biscuitlove.com/menu; opens 7:00 AM).  Neither take reservations, so we will stand in line for seating at either restaurant and sit at available tables.


Tuesday, 8 October – Ladies only!
Lunch at Husk, 37 Rutledge St – not far from our hotel.  We will not all sit together, rather it will be tables of 4. We have 16 reserved for 11:00 AM; if we need more, I can reserve more tables starting at 11:15 AM.  Please R.s.v.p. to me (cathy.speer.72wives@comcast.net) so I know who will be eating at Husk!

Looking forward to a great mini-reunion – and seeing everyone.

Other Activities

On Sunday, October 6th, the Tennessee Titans play the Bills @ noon. 
This is before our icebreaker.  The stadium is less than a mile walk from the HG Inn.  The game should be over by 1530.
 
On Tuesday, October 8th, the Nashville Predators play the San Jose Sharks at the Bridgestone @ 1900.
Tuesday is our company/battalion night.  You two have the Avalanche and (champion) Blues, so you know what a fun environment an NHL game is.  There is an all inclusive zone (not fancy), the Lexus Lounge with food and drinks, and regular seats.  It is always packed.  The game should be over by 2130.
 
The Grand Ole Opry is at Gaylord the 8th, as well.  The Ryman has shows (not the Opry) the 7th through 10th.
