Springfield, TN
There was a time when passenger trains tied the towns of Tennessee together. The days, of course, passenger train service has all but disappeared. But for some, the fascination with those big, powerful engines remains.

You can do those things too, at the depot bar and grill in Springfield, TN. Watch this and more episode segments of Nashville Public Television's Tennessee Crossroads.

The music we listen to says a lot about who we are and where we cam from. Important things to know, but not necessarily the kind of thing you think about being taught in school. If you'd like a lesson on that, go to the Bayou. Not a place. A Person. Bayou is Shannon Williford's nickname. He and his friend spend a lot of their time in a program called 'Blues in the Schools.' Tennessee Crossroads recently met Bayou at a Nashville school where he and his friends were conducting a music lesson, which includes a dash of history and geography and even a pinch of math and science.

Chapel Hill, TN
A watering trough is just a watering trough, or so some might say. So, what to do with a watering trough when it gets too old and rusty to do its job as a watering trough; it becomes a cedar chest. It does if the Akin family of Chapel Hill has anything to say about it. Tennessee Crossroads visited them at their workshop to see some of the amazing things they do with other people's trash.
