I had some business in Part IV Chancery, so my wife and I took a trip down to the Metro Courthouse…read more I worked there as a lad and, later, practiced law in those Halls of Justice from 1981 to 2003. Boy has the place changed since then!! We parked in the underground, multilevel parking garage. Totally new, this was a major improvement over the small, above-ground parking lot. An elevator took us to the outside level. The handicap ramps, which we had trouble finding, were hidden for aesthetic purposes. When we reached the doors, we were walking were Mayor Ben West met Diane Nash and thousands of demonstrators on 14 April, 1960. Their conversation was the beginning of the end of segregation in Nashville. Once inside, WPA murals decorated the walls of each side of the hall. The artist was supplied as part of Roosevelt's New Deal. We took an elevator to my destination. The brass trim decoration each elevator was Art Deco. More surprises when we reached the fourth floor. The entire area had been totally redone. The walls were bright and cheery. The hallway seemed more open than when I left it. As to the courtrooms, all Chancery Courts were still there. The Probate Court,where I clerked was still there. After my hearing, we went to the Snack Bar on the lowest floor. It too had been redone and now was mostly collection of vending machines, a thankful replacement. We then grabbed our gear and hurried home, past those two cast bronze fountains with their cooling spray. Now to rate the Nashville Metropolitan Courthouse. The front picnic area with its multilevel underground parking was light years of its predecessor. The interior,with its WPA murals and brass Art Deco decorations, was worth the price of admission. All the metal detector operators were- surprise- helpful and friendly. The walls of the fourth floor were bright & cheery and the Chancellor's courtroom was was totally up to date. What's not to like about the courthouse? Five stars for the Historic 1935 Nashville Courthouse,

So much love and Christmas wonder. Decor was beautiful. If you ever visit Clarksville, this is the place to visit! I had to shoot photographs quickly of my friend and her family. We had limited time since they closed at 5 pm. Her children had so much fun trying different poses, sitting with Santa, and trying lamb for the first time. It was fun and educational. The staff was inviting and very hospitable. Most lovely Christmas event in my life so far!

My friend and I try to visit every state capitol when we travel. This one is located on top of a…read morehill and parking was not available (lots of open reserved spots which required a permit which made no sense to me). We came across one lot with a couple of open spots that did not have "reserved" signage so we stopped to ask an employee whom was having car trouble and he stated to park nose forward and not backwards and we should be fine (unfortunately, we did not fit). We parked down the hill curbside (paid) and walked up the numerous steps but all was so beautiful (lots of greenery and scenery). As for the capitol itself, it was very nice and clean (as all are) and we had missed the guided tour that was taking place but we were able to self guide. We got to see some employees at work which was interesting and got to see some of the chambers and take pics. Overall, plan on spending about an hour here, especially if you are going to go out on the balcony to check out the views. Very friendly security guards upon entering as well (you do go through a metal detector which made me feel safe).

4.5 Stars On our…read morelast day in Nashville, my brother and I spent time on the grounds of the Tennessee State Capitol. It was incorporated in a walk that took us from the Downtown Embassy Suites across from Music City Center to Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park. It was my second time seeing the Tennessee State Capitol Building on my vacation. The first was from the Gray Line Tour. The Tennessee State Capitol Building with the Capitol District added a different dimension to the Nashville vacation. Once we got to Union Street, even though we were less than a mile from Broadway, Music City USA seemed miles away. It felt like we were now in a city celebrating the state of Tennessee. We entered from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard and 6th Avenue. The first thing I noticed is how high up it is. We climbed steps to enter the grounds. The Tennessee State Capitol Building is at the highest elevation in Downtown Nashville. It is remarkably noticeable from the Northside view along US 31/41, where it looks like it is on top of a small green mountain where a trail of steps carry people up. Not to be political (pardon the pun) the best spots to see The Tennessee State Capitol Building up close was from the east side. The second best spot to see it is from the north side either from US 31/41 or Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park where you get the awesome hill view. The Supreme Court Building blocks the west side. And during our visit, the reconstruction at Legislative Plaza prevented us from taking prime views at the south side. With that said we spent quality time on the east side. Being up on the higher elevation with mature trees, the weather felt better. When we ascended the southeast corner steps I took in the Alvin York statue. When we got to the top of the hill I took in the statue of President Andrew Jackson on his horse Cincinnati with the State Capitol behind it. Walking along the shaded walking paths, I took in the Tennessee Capitol Bell which is a replica of the Liberty Bell. Rising above Downtown Tennessee, my eyes took in a distant east view and past the Capitol an impressive view of Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park where we were headed next. I stopped to take in the pond. In the shadow of the State Capitol, my brother and I spent time on a bench overlooking the Tomb of President James Knox Polk and his wife Sarah. The majority of my attention was on the State Capitol Building. Designed by William Strickland, it was completed in 1859 when Tennessee decided that Nashville was going to be the state capitol. The architecture is Greek Revival. William Strickland based it on a Greek Iconic Temple. It stands 206.6 feet tall. It is one of twelve state capitols without a dome. While I was looking at it and taking pictures I was aware that the Tennessee State Senate and Governor could be behind the wall. I was certain that it was the second state capitol building that I spent time outside of (I also reviewed the Colorado State Capitol). Deciding to walk to the Tennessee State Capitol Building and ultimately Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park was a very good move. They added another dimension to the Nashville, Tennessee vacation where we got to celebrate the State of Tennessee. Being that this review focuses on the Tennessee State Capitol Building, I feel that my experience on its grounds admiring the beautiful Greek Revival architecture with the statues, mature trees, views, and burial spot of President James Knox Polk and his wife Sarah minus an inside tour makes it worthy of 4.5 stars

Don't get a speeding ticket in this county!! I reside in Florida, only in Tennessee for work at the…read moretime. The court house does not handle out of state tickets. Won't really tell you anything over the phone, or email you a copy of proof of payment. Resulting in my license getting suspended. I called on a Monday they lady told me I need to call back on next Monday cause the supervisor is out of town and she's the only one that could handle out of state issues. I explain to the lady on the phone that I need this for school so I need this to happen quickly, she then tells me to actually call back on Thursday and gave me the number for the supervisor. So I called bright and early Thursday morning. And meanwhile all I need is a letter stating I paid everything. And they couldn't give me that because I'm a resident of Florida, I'm out of state. The supervisor then said it would take 10 days and she'd give me a call back. Never got a call nothing so I called again the next week and the lady on the phone told me "the longer we are on the phone the longer it's gonna take, only my supervisor can handle this." Rude 1. 2 how does that make since other court houses will fax, email everything. But not this one.

As of the 2010 census, the city had a total population of 10,156. It is the county seat of Henry County. A 60-foot (18 m) replica of the Eiffel Tower stands in Paris.[5] Paris is also home of the "World's Biggest Fish Fry He present site of Paris was selected by five commissioners appointed to the task at the December 1822 session of the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions of Henry County. Their choice was fifty acres, 37 and one half of which were owned by Joseph Blythe and 12 and one half owned by Peter Ruff, both of whom gifted the land. A public square, streets, alleys and 104 lots were laid off and the lots were sold at auction over a two-day period in either March or April 1823 Paris was incorporated on September 30, 1823. It was the first town incorporated in West Tennessee, followed by Lexington on October 9, 1824, and Memphis on December 19, 1826.The city was named after Paris, France, in honor of the Marquis de Lafayette

You go to the Federal Courthouse because you have to. They don't offer anything of value to see,…read morethey don't give you a reason to visit, and they make it super-hard to get in. So this review isn't my recommendations of this place but more of a warning. Please be aware that all the normal, frustrating things about going to the airport apply here: take off your shoes, empty your pockets, turn on your laptop, make sure you don't have your pocketknife on you. I will say, the guards here are tad less like mindless automatons than most places, including the Metro Nashville Courthouse. The only available wifi is in the cafeteria, and I still wasn't able to connect. Cell service is frustrating, and dead in a lot of places. It's like the federal government has created weird parallel universe where only they exist, and regular people are meant to so miserable that they never return, leaving the federal officials to their nefarious plans to rend us of our freedoms. The place looks like it hasn't been remodeled or updated since the 70s, either. Cold hallways, dim lighting, and general unwelcoming environs make this a very unpleasant place. This is my warning: bring a book or some form of offline entertainment, because technology for anyone but the privileged does not exist as far as I can tell. Steer clear as much as possible.
