A sign of spring: Warm weather, shoppers return to Nashville

Everyone explores Nashville in their own way — some like to plan their routes and others enjoy wandering freely.

Spring is here, and with it comes birdsong, the buzzing of bees and the ringing of doorbells as visitors enter downtown shops. On any given day this season, weather permitting, visitors from all around and local residents alike can be seen roaming the streets and alleys of Nashville, searching for that perfect handmade gift, that delectable bite to eat, or maybe just that pleasant nod from passersby on a nice afternoon. This year, just like those before, the town has sprung to life.
