Stuff not to Do

  • We do not recommend going to Broadway at night. It is madness. SO, unless you love that, we recommend going during the day when it’s a bit calmer.

  • Do not ride the Lime scooters around town; you will be run over. Dr. Shafer treats about 4 people per year with traumatic brain injuries from those things and does not need more business.

  • Do not walk down Dickerson Pike at night time, it is not safe.

  • Do not do a pedal tavern/open-vehicle booze cruise, unless you want to join some bachelorette parties and woo-hoo all day.

  • Don’t go to Opry Mills Mall.
