From a tourist...
My dad's family is there, but I never really saw the city until a few years ago.
The downtown area is really nice, with some good restaurants. The aquarium was really nice several years ago when it was fresh water only, & my relatives tell me that it's been doubled in size with a salt water section. If you're into music, there are also some good music clubs downtown, too. The incline railway on Lookout Mountain was kinda cool the last time I rode it, but that was almost 60 years ago. :-) And there's a hang gliding club on Lookout Mountain, but I can't give you any first hand info about it.
One of the locals recommended Sugars for BBQ ribs, but I've never managed to get there to try them.
Hope that's at least a start,
Charlie

Thanks...change of venue though. We are going to Nashville for the day instead. I figure we will land at Jwn or mqy.
Any insights would be most appreciated.

A must!
You HAVE to go to the Dukes of Hazard museum.
Truthfully my wife and I enjoyed walking around the Gaylord for a few hours. Downtown in great but doesn't get "lively" until dark. Some great jazz clubs there too.

Hey Ryan,
We might run into you on the ramp.
We are flying in Thursday for a business/pleasure conference and leaving Sunday.
I will be using KJWN as it seemed like the best option for us.
Our first trip to Nashville as well but looking forward to it.

Hot Chicken
You have to try the Hot Chicken for lunch - it's a Nashville thing. I suggest Hattie B's. Yelp will help you find it, near Vanderbilt campus. Downtown (Broadway) is still cool, even in the day. Walk down Printers Alley.
