Greece or Nashville?

If you've been following this blog for the past 2 weeks you probably have guessed that this is in Nashville. It's a full-scale replica of the Greek Parthenon built for the 1897 Nashville Centennial Exposition. Besides "Music City", Nashville had been called the "Athens of the South" because of its many institutions of higher learning. So this was built for the Centennial Celebration and has been preserved since as a museum. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenon
