Jack’s Bar-B-Que
Nashville, TN
July 12, 2012
In our nearly 25 years of Tennessee Crossroads we've sampled our share of the state's great BBQ offerings. We've found BBQ joints in alleys, along country roads, even in the heart of downtown Nashville. That's where an entrepreneur took a risk years ago that paid off. Nowadays, you won't hear a conversation about BBQ in this town without hearing the name Jack. Join Nashville Public Television's Tennessee Crossroads to find out more about Jack's Bar-B-Que.

He's still doing that beautifully, and is teaching others who want to share his pleasure in his art. Tennessee Crossroads visited Greg Pennington at his Hendersonville, TN workshop to meet this artist who loves to make chairs the old-fashioned way.

Southern Museum and Galleries
McMinnville, TN
May 03, 2012
If one picture is worth a thousand words, then a long-ago McMinnville, TN man spoke volumes. In the early 1900's, W.S. Lively was one of the best-known photographers in the country. His work can be seen at the George Eastman House in New York, at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington and at a very special museum closer to home. Tennessee Crossroads visited the Southern Museum and Gallery which celebrates the history of Lively's hometown of McMinnville.
