Go the long way through Tennessee

After all the villles...Ashe, Knox, Nash. Oh yes, there were some pretty sights too.

 Nice skyline in Nashville...wonder what the double-pointy building is...

 A rather strange dome on the Nashville Electric service building.

 Kept trying to see the pointy building as we drove along the other side of it...it doesn't seem to be the tallest building there...

 AND THERE IT IS (behind that crane in the center right distance!) What is it? There are obviously some other nice buildings, but we became fixated on it. And the best I could find about the "Batman Building" was that it is the tallest building in Nashville, and in Tennessee, and is known as the AT&T building.

And this is the part of the story of the first day of driving that we'd rather forget.  We were told of an accident (even Google Maps told us early that there would 1:30 minutes delay there)...and we were still 3 hours away from it. We went through Nashville knowing it was there, but there wasn't any indication of a detour on our guide.  Until we'd done an hour waiting...and nobody was moving unless they just got off the interstate at the next exit and took back roads, which we did...not much further, nor slower, and traffic was coming through on the other side of whatever the accident was, not very much, but some. It must have been pretty bad that from noon to 4 pm, when we finally went around it, almost nobody got through on the 2 lanes going west.
