Since then, I've been back a few more times because this is just such a great spot to knock out your to-do list! Every Switchyards has a different vibe, and the Berry Hill location is gives retro office space. There's not as much natural light at this location compared to others in town (especially Eastwood), but it's got lots of space to spread out and is rarely busy. There's one club room available to rent, along with four phone booths. As with all SY locations, the coffee and stroopwafels are plentiful. There's a small parking lot attached, and tons of free street parking as well, which feels like a luxury in Nashville these days.

I'm a starving teacher (not literally, but you know, I'm mindful with my money since I'm not rolling in the dough), so the 100 dollar a month membership fee scared me. I live in a tiny apartment with no desk space and a very needy pup so I need some place to do work and going to Starbucks has been getting pricey and too loud. This place checks off all the boxes. There are spaces to work with others but also be left alone. There's tons of coffee and tea (with creamer and sugar!) and water (with lemon), as well as stroopwaffles to keep that blood sugar pumping. I'll probably be here often and regularly now, and if you need a good study spot/ work spot I highly recommend

If you're one of the ever-increasing number of young entrepreneurial folks who are starting to make the Music City your home, get in line and nab some space at your new spot for working during the week and hosting meetings. Don't get me wrong, coffee shops still have their time and place but a coffee shop's primary purpose is to serve coffee and allow folks to hang out. Having a meeting or trying to get work done is a nice byproduct but you're as likely to annoy coffee shop patrons with your jibber jabber and not be able to discuss the sensitive information that tends to come up in business meetings. You need an office. But you don't need an office every day. You need a co-working space. Deavor might be what you need. Set on the border between Downtown and Germantown, the contemporary loft space is quite convenient to a good chunk of the city. With ample parking in the parking lot, you won't have to hunt down street parking or worry about permits. Once you enter, you get to check out the high ceilings, cool tables and interesting space/design of your home away from home. The private meeting rooms make having sensitive conversations easy as well as impressing your meeting partners with your savvy. If you're just looking for work space, the long wooden tables and comfy office swizzle chairs have you covered. And, if you just have to satisfy that coffee itch, you'll be happy to know that there's a big azz coffee machine with cups. There might even be a kegerator but you didn't hear that from me. There's also event space, security (you can't just walk in/out of the space), water, break room, printing/copying, and the all-important wifi. So, how can all this be yours? Membership. As stated above, you can't just walk in/out of Deavor. You need to have a membership. Membership operates on three levels -- from the casual to the new business. The space offers tours so that you can check out how it best suits your needs. I don't know that I could ever give up working from home but if I needed the formality of a co-working space, Deavor would be a nice home. Until then, I am more than happy to be the invited guest of members.

It was nice that you were not on anyone else's timeframe so you can enjoy it at your own leisure. The docents were really nice, and very informative of the mansion. They encouraged questions if you had any. I'm not sure of what the historical tours look like throughout the year, but they are available and guided. There was no fee for this tour nor the Christmas tour.

There is room to pull over or drive into the park and the marker is located at the entrance. The marker reads, "Ben Chrismon (1877-1963), a shoe cobbler, and his wife, Mary Polk Chrismon, founded Sunset Park between 1909-1929. Before integration, this park was a popular recreation center for the African American community throughout Middle Tennessee. From the horse and wagon era to chartered buses, the 11-acre park was a place of enjoyment for many generations. Recreation included a 3-hole golf course, ballgames, picnics and family reunions. Concessions offered fried fish and homemade ice cream. Purchased in 1965 by Thomas A Brown, Sr. and his wife, Jessie Boyd Brown, the park remained in operation another ten years. The Browns raised their family in a home adjacent to the park. "Sunset Park was flanked by an historic stone fence and dotted by neatly whitewashed trees. One of the brightest hours at Sunset Park was in September 1929, when the park played host to the Williamson County Colored Agricultural Exhibition. Admission to the fair was 15 and 25 cents. Progress and achievements were exhibited with farmers' produce and handicrafts. Among the many baseball players at Sunset Park was Woodrow Williams (1917-1990), a native of Nolensville. He began his career with the Nashville Stars Southern Association and went on to play with the Baltimore Elite Giants, a Negro National Triple League." The marker was erected in 2006 by the Nolensville Historical Society. [Review 1223 of 2024 - 538 in Tennessee - 22246 overall]

The land was originally the grounds of the Metro Convalescent Hospital, but was transferred to the Parks Department in 1964. It was named for Richard W. Hartman, a community leader who worked with the youth of Bordeaux. Metro Police has used a portion of the park for police training since 1983, which is the same year the community center opened. The swimming pool was opened in 1998. The park underwent a renovation in 2010. This park was the least maintained of any I've visited so far, with trash and debris everywhere, and features in ill repair. However, it does host a trailhead for the Whites Creek Greenway, which does redeem it quite a bit.
