This Just In: Opryland Really Does Suck

Apparently I am not alone in detesting the Opryland Hotel. Julian Bond writes:

…Did you notice the fake birdsong coming out of speakers in the undergrowth? The revolving bar in the waterfall atrium, where the waterfall is *so* loud you can hardly hear the person next to you? The “Dancing waters” fountain and light show every evening at 7:30? The Liberace look-a-like performing on the piano from his second story balcony with full electronic orchestral accompaniment? The strange way that none of the restaurants are open for breakfast because they are always closed for refurbishment? Or that all the rooms look inwards.

But then if you cross the parking lot to the Mexican restaurant or wander into Nashville to one of the many themed C&W bars, it doesn’t get much more real. Strange town altogether…
