I took a red-eye into Nashville and arrived at the Union Station Hotel, one of the Historic Hotels of America. It’s a beautiful landmark with tons of detail but it was completely empty at 2 AM and a little scary.



When I got to the room, I tried watching TV. This commercial kept interrupting the last 20 minutes of “The Shining.” Creepy.
