Ok, so last week I didn't post anything. To be honest, I was too sick to even remember what a blog was. I spent the entire week home in bed. I won't go into detail, but suffice to say that I'm feeling better and am back at work and even took a walk over to the Arcade to mail a Christmas Letter to the Grand Kids. The closest Post Office is located in the center of the famous Arcade, one of America's oldest covered shopping centers and located right in the heart of Nashville, and there in lies our story for today.
The pic above was taken as I walked back out of the Arcade, The place sort of snuck up on me and surprised me. As I've noted in the past, the Arcade is filled with all manner of businesses from shoe shine to a tobacco shop. Mostly, you'll find quick eateries for the downtown worker to lunch upon. Deli Sandwiches, Mexican, Eastern and even a nifty little Cupcake place (now closed, unfortunately) have all spent time in the covered spaces, but this is not a restaurant!
It's a bit nondescript, and it took me a moment or two to realize what I was seeing due to the hanging Christmas Decorations. Take a close look at the sign in that window. That's right, it's a Wedding Chapel. The Rhinestone Wedding Chapel, to be exact. I've always felt that we needed a bit more rhinestone in the business fare in the center of our city and it looks like they got it right.
Not only that, the second poster is even better.
ELVIS!! ELVIS IS DOING WEDDINGS IN DOWNTOWN NASHVILLE! Did I shout that loud enough? I expect I did. My wife and I often joked about getting married by Elvis, but when the time came we opted instead for the county clerk. I think wearing a pair of gold sunglasses and a white speckled suit may have been a better idea. Hey, we do have an anniversary coming up.....
Yes, I've deleted the phone number as I'm not about to advertise for someone else, so if you really can't find them, inbox me and I'll put you in touch. Just remember, I get pics...lots of pics!
