In Short
Centennial Park, which housed the 1897 Tennessee Centennial Exposition, is a prime spot for an outdoor lunch break. Elaborate structures, monuments and memorials line the park,

A thing of Beauty is Rare. I must say that I have adored Centennial Park ever since the first time I laid eyes on it. I get a sense of peace whenever I'm near it.

Be sure to check out the Parthenon while your there. That will really make you trip a two in one treat.…
