Was in the general vicinity when I finished a run this evening, & had a chance to check out the surroundings...the hotel is just off the Stewart's Ferry/ I-40 exit, & is somewhat remote from any major retail areas in town, which can be a good or bad thing, depending on point of view. BW is in a cluster of other hotels/motels, with the prerequisite Waffle House next door, & a Cracker Barrel restaraunt across the road (anybody who has traveled thru the south will recognize their country-style cuisine & decor ), also a Subway shop & a Mapco chain convenience store...there doesn't seem to be a good deal of variety in the immediate area, but easy enough to access back to the interstate where there are more selections available. I also ended up turning down a side street looking for a turnaround, & found a new-ish very civilised-looking residential neighborhood, which puts my mind to rest about where my friends will be (Nashville is just big enough to have some problematic areas that I wouldn't have my worst enemies spend the night in )

All in all, I think SC has probably picked a good one from several hundred miles away...let's give him a big round of applause (or a round of beers, whichever he prefers), shall we...
