Nashville Notes


I found myself singing "I'm going to jackson" (Johnny Cash) for the last two days. It is probably due to being in the home of the Grand Old Opry and all the signs pointing to Jackson TN and then Jackson MS...and of course Nashville was the home of Andrew Jackson, the 7th President of the United Sates. It is nice to be able to sing in a car when no one else can hear!

Nashville is a fabulous city and home to Vanderbilt University. One very cool shop adjacent to Vanderbilt is Cumberland Transit, a 15,000 sq ft retail store that caters to University Bike and Outdoor enthusiasts. Mike Modesto is the manager there and is very knowledgeable about the industry, fabrics etc.

Swiftwick, one of our big competitors, dominates the sock business in run and bike shops in Nashville but it is totally understandable as they manufacture in Tennessee. Its nice to see folks supporting the local guys.
