The revered Ryman Auditorium (Sunday, May 22, 2022)

Elvis is in the building.
The Glass Tower, regular crosswalks, and diagonal crosswalks. I wasn't sure which signal light to watch for the diagonal path so just followed the crowd. Figured those bachelorettes on the pub crawler couldn't run over all of us.
Bill Monroe and me outside Ryan Auditorium, the original home of the Grand Ole Opry, 
Loretta Lynn and me outside Ryman Auditorium. The king himself, Elvis Presley, played the Opry one night in 1954. And in 1956, Johnny Cash was added to the cast. Cash met future wife June Carter for the first time backstage at the Ryman. Upon their meeting he told her he’d marry her someday – he kept his word and they were wed 12 years later. Honky-tonk angel, Patsy Cline, became an Opry member at the Ryman 1960. Cline’s biggest hit “Crazy” was written by a young up-and-coming songwriter, Willie Nelson.
