Paddock Place — Local services in Nashville-Davidson

We go there to dine at J. Alexander's. The French dip at lunch makes dinner an irrelevance. Delicious. My wife loves the Cypress Salad. Another establishment in Paddock Place is a place, sorry I forget the name, that does custom framing. I think it's called Belle Meade Framers, something close to that. Their work is fabulous. I have had several things that mean a great deal to me framed there. For example, my father was a career Army officer. In 1955-1956 he studied Chinese (Cantonese) at the Army Language School, now called the Defense Language Institute. I had a small picture of my father in his Army uniform, his Officers' Club card at the Fort Ord Officers' Open Mess, and a sheet of Cantonese characters that he used as study guides. I explained to Belle Meade Framers what I wanted, and based on the advice I received they came up with a brilliant solution. As an aside, I discovered that my father's name was misspelled on that club card from nearly 70 years ago. Go figure. On the back of that sheet of Cantonese characters there were explanations of what each character meant. So Belle Meade Framers put a clear plastic sheet on the back of the frame so you could see the back where the character definitions were....
