7/4/08Written by Victor Minicozzi This Ain’t Your Daddy’s Fireworks When I was a kid, my brothers and sister and I used to pile in the family station wagon and we would go to the Great Eastern Department Store parking lot and wait for the 15-minute fireworks show every Independence Day. Nashville’s spin on celebrating our country's independence is not a show but an all-day party event and no one

Written by Jason Moon WilkinsEven though its held more than an hour away, Bonnaroo tends to take over our city in subtle and not-so-subtle ways every early June. Rockers, music business VIP's, comedians, actors and other noteworthy folks usually fly in and out of Nashville International on their way to the festival and they often stay a night or two, so the star spotting possibilities around this
