| Any one check out the Goodman Show in Nashville today? I may go tomorrow and check on some reloading supplies. Look around while I am there, never know what I might run into. |

$8 for admission and $5 for parking.
It had been a while since I last went, and after today I remembered why. I left feeling very underwhelmed by the show as I didn't find anything I was looking for. I actually spent more on my four-year-old daughter in there than for myself. James |
So... $13 before you hit the aisles. Not counting gas from Clarksville I guess i would need to find other things to do as well around Nashville to make it worth it. Guess i could keep going 24, hit Chattanooga, and climb a cliff or 2. Damn you Knob Creek for being cancelled

Damn you Knob Creek for being cancelledYep $13 before you get in the door (assuming that you are going by yourself; I had to pay a Dollar for my 4-year-old to get in the door). I did find the bulk ammo that I was looking for except that it was 5-cents per round more expensive than if I bought it at Academy Sports. Needless to say, I left it on the dealer's table. I doubt I will be back to one of their shows anytime soon [the last was nearly a year ago when I was looking for a single-point sling] and instead save my Nickels and Dimes for Knob Creek. James |

I have given up on the Goodman show in Nashville. It wasn't worth going to before the city started charging to park there. That was just the final nail in the coffin for me. The RK show in Hendersonville is the best Nashville area show going now. Definitely worth the trip from Clarksville/FT Campbell. Free parking too. I also like that Academy Sports is just down the road as well as Guns n leather, and D&T arms. 3 shops and some decent places to eat all within a short distance from the show make an all around win. |

The GD fucking Nashville mayor was the one who did that when the city council wouldn't/didn't go along with his pipe dream of selling off the Fairgrounds to his fucking developer buddies. I hope Mayor Dean gets fucking crotch rot & suffers for the rest of his fucking life......................

Sounds like mayor Dean is going up on Davidson County property taxes but, apparently he is not letting anyone know until the budget is released in june. Oh, they're letting it slip out already. His unofficial cunt mouthpiece Gail Kerr is already hinting strongly about it in some of her columns.
I look forward to the day when Dean runs for Gov just so I can vote against him AGAIN. What a fucking tool!

Well according to at least one source, he called all of the council members in his office to have them give him their wish lists for their districts. If true, I have little doubt that Karl Marx, I mean Dean, will hold that over their heads if they don't go along with his plan.
As far as the fairground parking goes, I am pretty sure my friends and I had to pay for parking to attend the flea market last summer. Yet, I attended another event near Christmas time, and I didn't have to pay for the parking. I wonder if the Mayor's Office is forcing the Fairground Board to "pick and choose" to inflate/deflate numbers for certain events. No doubt that Dean wants the flea-market gone (due to it being one of the more popular events) and wouldn't mind if the gun shows were gone also but for a different reason (He doesn't strike me as exactly a fan of the 2nd Amendment).

James They've been charging for parking at the flea market for several years. The flea market and the state fair were the only events where they charged for parking. Now, they charge for parking at all events (from what I've been told), and that deision was made shortly after Nashville voters passed the charter amendment requiring a much larger percentage of the council to approve any decision to make major changes concerning the fairgrounds (blocking Dean's plan to get just a few more council members to go along with his plan to sell the fairgrounds property to developer friends). |

Honestly, last summer was the first time my friends and I went to the flea-market in years. While we were in college, we would sometimes go before heading back up to Cookeville. I did remember a brief period in the 1990's where they charged for admission and parking for the flea-market and warned my friends that we would have to pay that time. Now as far as the Dec. show went, I might have avoided the parking fees just because I got there so early in the morning (around 7:00 IIRC). I know I won't be voting for Dean if he chooses to run for Governor. As F'ed up as paying for parking at the Fairgrounds is, it is going to be worse for his other little "pet" project, the new convention center. My coworkers and I honestly don't know where we will be expected to park when it opens and they have a big convention in town. Oh, I'm sure we'll hear the same old story; there is plenty of parking available...on the East Side of the river
