The chopper lifts and the city rearranges itself: honky-tonk neon shrinks to a bright braid along Broadway, the Cumberland River glitters like a ribbon of mercury, and the Parthenon appears, improbably classical, parked in a green field below. In thirty minutes you move from airport tarmac to rooftop-level flight along the bars of downtown, an intimate, kinetic portrait of Nashville that ground tours can’t match.
