I always get energized after visiting the Nashville Downtown Partnership. It's true. Sometimes I even think that it may even be better than a workout or a cup of coffee?
Most metropolitan cities will have a "Downtown Partnership" and after living in a few cities myself, I am rather impressed with what ours has to offer.
After meeting with Tamara on a few occasions on ways that Yelp could partner up with them on projects, I sensed a true dedication from the staff on promoting all that is good with the downtown area. With promoting downtown commerce, living, events, and workplace... they certainly have their hands full. Their services are a spectacular resource for business owners, residents, tourism, and anyone who wants the scoop on what is going on with our city. I subscribe to the weekly Downtown Details newsletter which is always chalk full of information that I happen to find useful. I always seek out what upcoming events are on the calendar too.
I (OF COURSE) am a fan of the fact that all of the business listing are linked to their Yelp profile page too. Nashville Downtown Partnership knows whats up!
TIP: The information on parking and shuttle services is super helpful and you can even download their mobile app.
