Winter Bird Watching in Central Park
There is a great documentary on HBO called, Birders: The Central Park Effect. The movie shows the huge range of birds who live in the park and use it as a stop over on their migratory flights.
If you live in the city or are just visiting you can take full advantage of bird watching in the park. One of the best places to go is the North Woods towards the top of the park. Spending even an hour on the weekend will afford you the opportnity to see a lot of different bird species.

Walking Tour: Downtown Cumberland River
The Cumberland River runs some 688 miles from the Appalachians to Kentucky, and provides a scenic backdrop to downtown Nashville. Thanks to a stylish pedestrian bridge connecting the banks, you can explore both sides of the river on foot. The bustling honky-tonk strip of Lower Broadway on the west bank provides contrast to the quiet natural space of the Shelby Bottoms greenway on the east side.

How Do I Avoid Paying Broker Fees When Moving Into A New York City Apartment?
You are excited to move to New York but know there is a laundry list of work to get you started. This might include finding a job if you went the 2 suitcase and 1 way plane ticket route. It will include locating your nearest grocery stores and quickly learning how many bags you can carry home (remember most of us don’t have cars. I can carry up to 8 bags of groceries at this point….) Where is your local bar, sushi and thai restaurants. Brunch place for new residents is also a must. Finding the right subway car that lets you off at the exact exit that is closest to your apartment is for a slightly more seasoned newcomer but trust me that within 4 months you will know exactly where to stand.
I feel like I might be overlooking one small detail. Possibly something about Maslow and shelter. That’s right, you need to find a place to live and very few cities can be more nerve wracking than New York. It’s everything you have already heard and read about (expensive, inevitability of dealing with some cockroaches or mice, loud, multiple entry doors, lots of stairs.)

Spend a Day in Centennial Park
What had once been 132-acres of farmland in the heart of Nashville, Centennial Park was the original site of the state of Tennessee’s state fairgrounds following the Civil War. Originally named West Side Park, the park was renamed to Centennial Park in 1897, during the Tennessee Centennial and International Exposition. That same year, the park saw the construction of the park’s most popular feature, a replica of The Parthenon.
