How Nashville Became One Big Bachelorette Party

Over the last decade, Nashville has become one of the nation’s leading non-Vegas bachelorette party destinations. The bachelorettes are a vivid symbol of the city’s rapid gentrification — and the pitfalls of a new, “experience”-driven brand of tourism.
quote:
The easiest way to identify a bachelorette party is by their matching T-shirts, emblazoned with Nashville-inflected slogans in twee calligraphy (“When I Sip You Sip We Sip”; “BOOTS and BOOZE and THE BRIDE”). The attendees — bridesmaids, friends, moms, sisters-in-law, anyone who’s affiliated with the bride and willing to throw down for a weekend — wear identical tees in black or bright colors. The bride’s, of course, is white. Sometimes, they wear matching flannels, or jackets, or shoes (one group I encountered sported white high-top sneakers; another, pink windbreakers, like a millennial update of the Pink Ladies from Grease). I met one group from Manhattan who refused to wear matching shirts, opting instead for blue fanny packs emblazoned with “BABE” in fluorescent pink. “Our bride hates tacky shite,” one of the attendees told me, right before they hopped on a foot-powered Pedal Tavern, where they’d spend the next two hours pedaling around downtown and obeying the commandment to chug every time someone on the street took a picture.
quote:
They travel in packs, usually between 6 and 16. And they love murals.
quote:
The majority of these bachelorette parties are from the Midwest, but they also come from New York, Seattle, California, and Boston. Most don’t own cowboy boots and have never set foot in a honky-tonk. That’s part of the allure: the ability to try on a culture while avoiding accusations of appropriation.

Good thing they used proper English. This would be taken as racist and someone would be so triggered.

Is this a good thing? We have quite a few in Charleston as well and I haven't made up my mind if this something to boast about.
I guess it beats the snowbirds from Ohio.

I was told by every Uber driver about the “top bachelorette party” title last time I was there. I thought it was an odd thing to boast about too.

Downvote not because Germans.
Downvote because of the gut hanging out of the girl taking the pic in the first pic after the article.

What was it about this article that screams "The OT will love this! Must link."

The picture of the average white girls on the ride with HONKY written under them is pretty funny. It's like it's the answer to: Where all the white women at?
