    In 1912, in a copper kettle at the Standard Candy Company at Clark & First Avenue in Nashville, the worlds first ever combination candy bar was born . Goo Goo Clusters, roundish mounds of luscious caramel, smooth creamy marshmallow nougat and fresh roasted peanuts all covered in real milk chocolate, have been delighting Nashvillians and visitors to Music City ever since! Goo Goos were originally hand dipped and sold without wrappers under glass at drug store candy counters . With the dawn of hand wrapping, ladies would swaddle the Goo Goo Clusters in tinfoil . Eventually, machinery was put in place to automate wrapping the Goo Goo Cluster . Today, the process of making Goo Goos is so streamlined that Standard Candy in Nashville can produce 20,000 Goo Goo Clusters an hour! In the years since the birth of the Original Goo Goo Cluster, the company has introduced two new flavors to their product line: the Supreme (made with pecans instead of peanuts), and Peanut Butter, a peanut butter center sprinkled with crunchy peanuts then covered in real milk chocolate . This year saw another exciting addition to its offerings when Goo Goo Cluster opened its flagship retail store in the SoBro area of downtown Nashville, the Goo Goo Shop . Since Goo Goo Clusters centennial in 2012, weve been looking for a way to return to Downtown Nashville where it all started back in 1912, said Lance Paine, Executive Vice President of Goo Goo Cluster, LLC . The Goo Goo Shop will allow visitors to see Premium Goo Goo Clusters being made, learn about the history of the brand and shop for Goo Goo Cluster memorabilia and merchandise . Premium Goo Goos, a new gourmet line extension featuring rotating flavors, will be available exclusively at the Goo Goo Shop located at 116 3rd Avenue S beginning in November 2014 . For more information, visit www .googoo .com .

    Are you looking for some good ole home cooking, exceptional Southern Hospitality and live entertainment that will have you singing along and tapping your feet? Then Nashville Nightlife is definitely the place to go! We recently had the pleasure of a night out at the theater . We were warmly greeted at the door and given our tickets . We browsed the lobby area where we found unique, one-of-a-kind souvenirs and gifts . Before long, the hostess called our name and personally seated our party in the dinner theater . A smiling, friendly waitress took our beverage order and directed us to the buffet table . There we found a lovely salad bar and a first-class buffet with country fried chicken and ribs as their entrees that night, complete with all the fixins . Everything was homemade right down to the peach cobbler for dessert . I had the warm feeling of being in my grandmas kitchen . Once the entertainment starts, I guarantee you will be dancing in your seat . We were treated to such a wide variety of music from Hank Williams Sr ., Patsy Cline, and

    Conway Twitty to Sara Evans and Toby Keith . There is entertainment for the entire family . The Best of Country Dinner and Show, throughout their season, includes guest stars such as Opry Star Jeannie Seely, The Fiddle Man Tim Watson, Tommy Cash, Diana Murrell, Paula Poe (from the Tammy Wynette Show) and many others . This is a fantastic show you wont want to miss! The standing ovation at the end of the show is an indication of the great time the audience had . Following the show there is a meet and greet with the performers . I would highly recommend that visitors to Nashville experience Nashville Nightlife where you will see the best of country from old to new . Come see why the Nashville Nightlife Dinner Theater presents a Dinner and Country Music Show voted the best combination in Nashville . Dont miss this Nashville tradition . Located at 2416 Music Valley Drive in Music Valley Village across the street from the Gaylord Opryland Resort and the Grand Ole Opry .
