Nashville, TN, Thursday, May 30, 2013


We are getting there.......but Tennessee is a long state, 500 miles end to end, and we are going end to end....


Green, green trees...lots of them....and BIG ones!!




We decided to stop in Nashville for a night.....and return to check out the Del Webb there.  We had looked some years ago and just wanted to see how it had "matured".  Lake Providence, as this one is known, started about the same time as ours...and is the same size.  



A billiards table in the "lobby"


A walking track and yoga studio on an upper level.  A larger fitness room with 5 TV's


There are lockers on all three walls of the locker room...


A massage therapist comes to the resort for appointments






Lake Providence is the only water feature in the community.....complete with water toys for residents' use and it is stocked with the above fish and a jon boat available for fishing.


An outdoor "theatre" for gatherings and concerts






Lots and lots of green space.....lots and lots of pergolas.....even at the pickleball and tennis courts and the bocce ball area.  Only two hard surface tennis courts...


An enclosed basketball court


Utility right of way land is dedicated to a community garden


Green space medians were centered in many of the residential streets.....with PARKING spaces.


Home exteriors are primarily brick or stone.....and prices are comparable....and HOA fees the same.  Somewhere between 700 and 800 homes sold.  They have "matured" very nicely.
