Post Cool stuff in Tennessee
A friend of mine moved to Martin TN last month, and I'm planning on making a visit soon. What I'm trying to figure out is where all the cool stuff is.

Toy stores, comic stores, record stores, etc...

What should be on the list?

Thanks guys!

Strangely enough, I went to DollyWood when I was 10 while we were in TN for a family reunion lol.

My mom still has the "Dolly Dollars" she refused to spend...

I was in TN a few months ago. If you're going to be heading to Memphis, I actually really enjoyed Graceland. Another fun (though kind of campy) place is Golf and Games. Some pics of both here:

We also visited Nashville, which I didn't find very interesting, and Knoxville, which is a great little town with what seemed to be a strong local arts scene and some great shops.

Martin, Tennessee? Ha! There is absolutely nothing there but some hunting and fishing, you all. Why would you think anything of interest on a toy board would be there? Just don't forget your banjo if you decide on a river trip.

There's a great record shop called Grimey's that I would recommend. Don't know of any toy shops though.

I live in Knoxville, TN. There's a lot of restaurants. There's some mountains. Not a huge toy scene here, but there really isn't outside of major cities.
