Winstead Hill? Carnton? Carter House? That crazy-looking spaceship house on Chickering Road? The movie theater downtown in Franklin?

*GASP* She knows Franklin!!!!! I live in Spring Hill . I was planning on Rippavilla for sure maybe our little battlefield memorial thingy down here. I drove by Winstead yesterday and thought about adding it to the list too. That movie theater is in a desperate attempt to be saved actually. I need to go back up there and write down the website that's attempting to save it from destruction. It made me sad to see that.
I don't think I've seen that house, but then I don't think I've actually been down Chickering Road either.
I was also thinking about going up into the city to take pics at the Ryman, up and down Broadway, and to the Opryland Hotel....I don't think it will get to me in time to take pictures with santa though That would be fun. ohhhh the possibilities.....

I forgot about Rippavilla. :eusa_doh:

This is about the house on Chickering, but I can't find a photo of it:

It’s not such a Small World, after all

There‚Äôs something about the white landmark of a house rising out of the terraced hill at 1644 Chickering Road that makes you want to drive by again, just to be sure you saw correctly the first time. It could be the size: it is massive. Or the shape: it is triangular. Or the singularity: there is nothing like it among the conservative Georgian, Mediterranean and ranch-turned-Tudor architecture situated along the tony, wooded drive across from the entrance to Percy Warner Park. The gleaming paper football of a fa?ßade seems to hover over the rich green vista in a sublime ether of expensive lightscaping, as if it were just being projected onto the hill. If the lights were turned off some night, would it simply disappear? If so, a lot of people would be looking for the kill switch. Instead of columns, the untraditional house known as Small World has a black champagne glass of a turret in front and itty-bitty bubbles of windows bouncing across the fa?ßade. But kudos to Richard and Rhonda Small, who took an architectural risk on a majestic plot of land and created something to remark about and drive by‚Äîagain and again, just to be sure.

Dang it, I was in Franklin over Thanksgiving (trying to buy a hat of all things but the lady was too much of a...well, my mom and I walked out leaving the merchandise on the counter and the store $200 poorer, let's just leave it at that) but it was too hectic of a trip to even try to attempt a get-together with nearby Loungers. We drove down from Clarksville with 2 other people in the car. Anyway, I am getting excited here in the North, already picked out some locales, so by the time The Hat reaches me I should have a photographer and camera all lined up.

Hi Princess of Candi, if you want to make the picture bigger upload it to an image hosting site like www.photobucket.com and then there will be an option next to it that says 'image code'. You then click this, it will say 'copied', and paste it into what you are writing over here on FL. You can put the bigger picture in the Hat thread in the Steamer Trunk
( http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=23033 )

I'd love to see you and the Alamo bigger, it looks great!

Vintage Betty's SPECIAL Announcement

I am formally announcing that upon the return of the Official Fedora Lounge Ladies Globe Trotting Hat, I will be posting it for auction, with 100% of the proceeds being given to my local American Cancer Society.

The Men's Globe Trotting Hat is travelling around the world, and will also be auctioned off to remind people about the importance of protecting against skin cancer. Thank you to the Men's Globe Trotting Hat participants for this great idea.

I will be using the photos that have been posted in the Globe Trotting Hat Thread for the auction, to generate interest and higher bids for charity.

How many times do YOU have a chance to purchase a hat that has travelled around the world?
