First Impression Limousine Service, LLC

Tourists come from far away to visit the Nashville Palace. It is a Nashville tradition. Not only do they serve food and drinks but they have great country music entertainment. It really has become an icon to this city. They are located right across the street from the Opryland Hotel; therefore, they get a lot of business from tourists. I'm a local, and I've not been there but a few times in my life, but they get a lot of dollars from tourism! Definitely visit if you are in the area!

PROS: A nashville tradition
CONS: none

Caldwell Travel Incorporated

I've worked with Caldwell Travel and Tours for quite some time now. This is a top notch agency that is determined to please their customer first. They go above and beyond what is needed to see that the customer is pleased. I use them for my business needs to make hotel reservations and airline reservations. Often times they have to make hotel reservations in small towns and they go out of their way to make sure the hotels are nice. I wouldn't hesitate to use them for any type of travel needs.

PROS: outstanding service
CONS: none

Randstad

Randstad has an outstanding reputation and has been around for a good while in the Nashville area. If you have the right credentials, they WILL find you work that will suit you. Their are many different employment agencies in Nashville, but I think the Randstad name tells people that they are a cut above from the others

PROS: their name sells
CONS: none

Fin Den Grooming Center

The Fin Den has been around for many years in Nashville and they have two different locations in Nashville. They sell every kind of pet supply imagineable and have a great variety of live fish to sell. They sell birds too. The staff and owner are extremely knowledgeable too and very honest.

PROS: Great prices and selection
CONS: none

MUSIC CITY KENNELS

I have a friend that worked here one summer and she admitted to me that they overbooked during the 4th of July holiday that particular summer. She said dog crates were stacked one on top of the other in an outside building that was not climate controlled. I was shocked to hear this and know for a fact that it was true. I encouraged her to report this, but she was fearful of losing her job. In July the heat in Nashville is hot hot hot and no animal deserves to be kept in this type of environment. Moreover, think of paying for your dog to be in a climate controlled kennel and was outside in the heat unbeknownst to you.

PROS: has been around a long time
CONS: ready my review

Robin's Gallery & Custom Frms

I have dealt with Robins Gallery and Frames on several different ocassions. They do an outstanding job in creating beautiful frames and mats. I have also bought already framed pictures from them as they have good prices and a very good selection. They recently have started selling fountains too and have a good selection of these.

I like to support local businesses and they are right in my community!

I highly recommend Robins Gallery and Frames.

PROS: they do good work
CONS: none

Glass Doctor

I recently had to have my windshield replaced on my car. What an experience this was! I was very nervous about it, but the Glass Doctor came to my location and took care of me in less than 90 minutes. They removed my broken windshield, careful not to have any glass drop on the parking lot. They replaced my windshield perfect and there were no leaks at all. My insurance company dealt directly with Glass Doctor for my claim and covered it. It was a very good experience and I would highly recommend their services. The fact that they came to my place of work within 1 hour of my calling is outstanding in my book!

PROS: they came to me
CONS: none

ADS Security L.P.

We own our own security system through ADS and bought it about 15 years ago. It was expensive but definitely worth it for piece of mind. The one thing that I like about ADS is that they are a local business, and our monitoring is done locally- not thru an 800 number. The few times I've sent off the alarm :-) they are great to deal with. Whenever the alarm has gone off, they call us first before dispatching the police.

Their rates are competitive with other local monitoring companies. I highly recommend ADS

PROS: local monitoring
CONS: high cost of monitoring

Soil Products

My husband and I frequent Soil Products often not only for his landscape business but also for our home. They carry just about everything you can imagine for your landscape needs such as: Organic Compost, Hardwood Mulch. Chancellor Mulch, PineNeedles, Pine Bark Nuggets, Softrack, Landcaping Soil, Straw, various seeds and rail road Ties. Their prices are very good too. I like the fact that they are not too far from my home.

PROS: Great prices and selection
CONS: none

Finders Keepers Consignment

I am in the process of updating furniture - tables and lamps in my living room. I had a very nice oak coffee table that I didn't want to sell through the newspaper and didn't think a garage sale would net me what I wanted out of it so I called Finders Keepers. They came to my house to examine the item and decided it was in excellent condition and we wrote up a contract. I was extremely pleased with the price they put on it which meant, if it sold within 60 days, I would get half that price. Well it did, and I was most pleased with the price I got for it.

Their stores are full of these same type items, and of course, items are always changing. It's a great place to shop for items that are near new and in excellent-very good condition.

PROS: Great prices and selection
CONS: not too close to my home
