The last several years I was there most of the trips I made out that way were to the VA Hospital, at first was visiting a friend who was there for awhile, and later in picking up gov't surplus at their warehouse from auctions I had won. I never really visited the Stones River site, although I drove right past it many times when going to the VA. For the last couple years before moving, most of my excursions were more towards the Franklin area, where I began to get more interested in the many Civil War battlefields. Really wish now I'd stopped and seen the one at Stones River
If you are ever back down this way, the battlefield is worth checking out. It has a greenway that circles it and goes all over the city that is a pretty good walk. As far as why we call it the boro, I personally have no idea. I'm 24 years old and its been called that for as long as I can remember.
