Hike across downtown enjoyed by a dozen people, starting from Bicentennial Mall (a state park) near Farmers Market. Climbed up to state capitol, then south across Broadway, admiring some architecture gems. Continued past Unions Station, the new Music City Center, then up Rutledge Hill. Back down to Sheby St (Sigenthaler) Bridge, across the honky tonk district, then uptown to City Hall, and another view. Approximately 7 mi. Enthusiastic group enjoyed this a lot.
