the world is your acorn

Yesterday, in the middle of a long work day, I hit Pho Pasteur for a bit of take-out bun . Of course, me being me, I ate about 14 bites before being full. After work I dutifully brought home the leftovers to share with The Little Red-Haired Girl. I mentioned how I’d miss Pho Pasteur when we move, even though it’s not one of those places we’d list as our favorite restaurants here. I guess we just take it for granted. Anyway, she reminded me that Nashville actually has a large Vietnamese population, and there must be some Vietnamese restaurants around.

Lo and behold, I’m checking The Scene online today, and find an article about banh mi, a Vietnamese sandwich. I was not so much interested in the sandwich as the fact that there is a whole section of Vietnamese restaurants which sounds super cheap all along Charlotte Pike. I guess they call it “Little Vietnam”. I will be sure to hit that up soon after we arrive.

So, looks like Nashville’s got free movies in the park in the summer, just like Boston does. They play Wednesday nights, June 6-July 13, at the Centennial Park Band Shell. In Boston they are on Friday nights at sunset, from June 19-September 2 at the Hatch Shell. Not that we ever go in Boston, and we probably won’t go in Nashville, but it’s nice to have the option, right?
