On Highway 41, getting ready to leave Nashville

Now that the Highway 41 end-to-end StreetView trek has passed the Tennessee capitol and crossed the Cumberland River, we need to get headed north again.



Here it gets interesting. To stay on Highway 41 requires first turning onto Spring Street, staying on Spring Street as it heads north and then northwest, then getting onto Dickerson Pike. A block from the Spring Street intersection is a historical marker at the site of the surrender of Nashville during the Civil War.

Turn left here and do not proceed onto Main Street. That would head you in the direction of the Grand Ole Opry, but we're going to skip that. There are surprisingly few places to cross the Cumberland River if you want to get there, so plan your route well.  To stay on Spring Street, keep to the left of the building with the red front.



Follow Spring Street around until you get to Dickerson Pike, then head north. When you pass Buffalo Park, you know you're still on the right road. And it's not hard to see why it's called Buffalo Park.  It has buffalo in it (well, statues of buffalo, actually).



After all that sightseeing, stop at Harold's Chicken for good hot Nashville-style chicken. That darned FedEx truck was parked right in front when the StreetView car went by!



Next on the road - north from Nashville.
