The blocks occupied feel like its own little community in the middle of the bigger city. It definitely has it's own vibe and is uniquely East Nashville. When we are in East, we normally make it point to stop in a shop or two. International Coffee, Galena Garlic and Adobe Mercantile are usually spots we frequent when wandering around, and Gift Horse is a cool place for a quirky or local gift for folks. Food wise, Maru and East Creamery are always on point and hit the spot! Hours of each shop differ, so make sure you look specifically at the hours of the places you want to visit. There is no real consistency amongst the shops from an overall hours perspective, which can be a tad frustrating. Parking is a bit wonky as well, nothing really dedicated at all times. There are a few pay lots nearby and street parking is plentiful in the area. Overall, Shoppes on Fatherland is a cool East community and is a good spot to spend a little time when you have nothing going on. It's always an after or before dinner/drink place for us.

I'm writing this from an artist's perspective. I participated in this show years ago, and at one…read moretime it was truly excellent. Local residents showed up in droves and genuinely valued -- and purchased -- handmade work. I made five to $7000 twenty years ago. Unfortunately, the show has changed significantly. It now draws large crowds, many of whom appear to be bused in from outside the area. While attendance is high, sales are not. The loyal local audience seems to have been pushed out by the increased congestion, and many no longer attend. Equally disappointing is the noticeable decline in handmade goods. Walking the show this year, I spoke with several talented artists who shared that they struggled to cover even their basic expenses and do not plan to return. It's a real shame that the show has declined like it has. It used to be a beautiful show and Franklin is a nice town.

I like the idea of the Idea Hatchery. This stretch of Woodland is full of 'hidden' businesses that…read moreblend in with the older homes on the street. Because of the name, I guessed the Idea Hatchery was a shared workspace or a writing collective. It *only* took me [redacted] years to get out of my car and walk in to see what's what. Flanked by an antiques shop and an art gallery (if you've done Tomato Arts Fest you know right where this is), the collective's appearance is a bit nondescript but that makes the discovery all the better, no? Inside the threshold are eight uniquely (east) Nashville businesses. As an incubator, the Hatchery is a perfect spot to test out concepts and gain sea legs before opting for a bigger location or an expanded footprint. It's a great go-between from online/out of the house to stand alone brick and mortar. I believe this is the spiritual parent to the Shoppes on Fatherland. Right now the current occupants tend to skew a bit 'female' in what they do (fashion, art, etc.) but that's not to say that there isn't a lot for a number of demographics to choose from. Selfishly, I'm hoping that some sort of food/treat business takes up residence in the shops. Toffee? Taffy? Shaved Ice? I can keep going folks. Actually, an old-timey, regional candy store would fit in well. Boom. I just found your newest tenant. Sort of. East End has a lot of fun businesses to explore. Next time you're in the neighborhood, scoot just a bit past that (locally) famous intersection and get a taste of what the area has to offer. I think you'll enjoy what you find. At the very least, it's a nice way to pass the time on a lazy weekend day.

My daughters and I…read morediscovered The Heirloom Shop when in town for a volleyball tournament and we had free time in our schedule. We had been on the hunt, with no success, for "the perfect" engagement gift for a sweet couple, AND then we found The Heirloom Shop! We found the perfect gift, we saw the sweetest home decor and all things you just want to buy and gift and love. The staff and owners were amazing in communications and helping us secure our purchases since we were just visitors in town and in travel mode. The follow up was great in making sure all purchases made it home safely. I could not recommend this store more for all your personal, seasonal home decor and meaningful giftables.

Overall really clean too!…read moreWhile we were there the staff didn't say anything to us, and since we didn't purchase anything we didn't have any interactions with them. Women's clothing primarily including shirts, jeans and dresses of all varieties. Intermingled with the clothing items are cards, figurine/nick knack type items some art work, some hats, quite a bit of bright colorful jewelry, sweaters, jackets, and some creams/lotions. Some of the items in store were marked down, and the stuff located nearest to the back entrance was all marked down (clothes). Primarily the reason for three stars, nothing caught the interest of my wife. It may very well have some items that you would like however, so I'd recommend if you're in the area and wanting to check out a boutique to pop in and see what they have.

There had to be something really great someone could build at this high profile corner of Maryland Way and Franklin Road. I would have never guessed the result, far better than anything I could have dreamed. Opening in 2016 before the similar concept of City Park just down the road, this new street of businesses captured the spirit of the original Hill Center built in Green Hills in 2007. The town of Brentwood and its 45,000 inhabitants finally got our own downtown, so to speak. With excellent chain stores like Jeni's Ice Cream, Maple Street Biscuit Company, and Jersey Mike's, ethnic options of Tex Mex and Thai, and businesses we frequent like Lululemon, Paper Source, and StretchLab, this is exactly what our little suburb of Nashville needed!
