To beat the heat we walked early in the morning before the crowds descended on Broadway. We crossed the Cumberland River on one of the longest pedestrian bridges in the world. It was originally built for vehicles in 1909 but the concrete trusses needed repeated repair so it was closed in 1998. Instead of demolishing the bridge it was refurbished for pedestrian and cycle traffic. From the bridge we looked down on the people marching in the Labor Day Parade.
Our next stop was the Frist Art Museum to see the Frida Kahlo exhibition. There were some fabulous reproductions of clothing worn by Frida.
The museum is in the former Nashville US Post Office which was built in 1934 with some fine Art Deco features.
