Brian Allison unravels the hidden history behind Nashville's most iconic neighborhood. There’s no doubt that Nashville’s storied neighborhood dubbed MUSIC ROW is likely one of the most famous districts in the world. Known for legendary music and recognized for the unique placement of major entertainment offices humbly operated in modest historic homes, it is one of our city’s most popular tourist attractions. While there are thousands of stories to go along with the stream of famous faces and hit songs created here, there are dozens of others showcasing how instrumental the neighborhood has been in shaping many facets of history outside of music. Some of these tales revolve around high society while others nod to the rumors of haunted buildings. In the new release of the book, Hidden History of Music Row, history buffs are sure to find a plethora of topics to ponder. Most of these are entertaining but there are a few truths included that are quite shocking… and even a little bit scary. In this chapter excerpted from the book, author Brian J. Allison reveals how true crime once shook residents and visitors alike on the now treasured streets.
