Born on the Fourth of July

Whitland Avenue celebrates a banner day

Nashville NFocus - Volume 17 Number 8

When you overhear a latter-day patriot invoke the spirit of Patrick Henry with the thirsty ultimatum “Give me lemonade or give me death,” you know you are living in the happy land of plenty. Still, the denizens of the Whitland neighborhood never miss a chance to reaffirm the bounty of life on the fruited plain of freedom.



Sweet sixty

A true gentleman rings in another year amongst friends

Nashville NFocus - Volume 17 Number 8

The party invitation said it all: “How does a Gentleman turn Sixty? With grace, aplomb, wit—and most definitely—Among Friends.”



Among friends

Gilda’s Club celebrates Ronna Rubin with Nancy Saturn Award

Nashville NFocus - Volume 17 Number 8

Without a doubt, Nancy Saturn was and always will be one of Nashville’s patron saints. An advocate of the arts, a true friend to people around the world and a beautiful, generous soul, Nancy brought happiness to many, and she lives on through all those she touched over the years. So what could be more appropriate than the Nancy Saturn Award of Inspiration, presented by one of Nancy’s favorite charities, Gilda’s Club? Giving that award to someone who emanates the same feelings of love and loyalty—Ronna Rubin.



Stylish sews

A first look at couture’s Golden Age

Nashville NFocus - Volume 17 Number 8

It’s not all about the photos at Nfocus. Well, it’s a lot about the photos. But we also strive to inform, educate—or at least remind—our already well-informed and highly educated readers about things that truly matter in creating a life well-lived. Of course “style” is at the top of the list.



A very sweet silver anniversary

After 25 years, the ice cream only gets better

Nashville NFocus - Volume 17 Number 8

It would be quite a shame to be lactose intolerant for ice cream’s biggest day in Nashville. Moms, dads, babies and puppies filled the verdant front lawn of the First Presbyterian Church for the 25th Miss Martha’s Ice Cream Crankin’. The distant rumble of thunder didn’t stop a soul from hanging out and sampling a vast variety of different frozen flavors, all in the name of the Martha O’Bryan Center.
