He’d also been stuffing four twenty-dollar bills in each boot sole. By mid- July the money had begun to shred and smell like feet. One otherwise unpromising afternoon there’d been a shiny Coupe de Ville out on Ranch Road #5. It was metallic blue. Throwing sun spirals and stars off the bumpers. He and Ben Toy had watched its approach for six or eight miles of scruffy Panhandle desert. They were doing nothing. “Bored sick and dying fast on a fencerail,” Berryman had said earlier. Toy had only half-smiled. “You heard about that greaseball Raymond Cone? I suppose you did,” the conversation was going now.

The park was first created to hold the Centennial Exposition of 1897, a six-month event that brought nearly 2 million visitors to Nashville at a time when the city’s population was barely 100,000. It was the start of not only Nashville’s municipal park system, but public park systems across the state. Since then, Centennial Park has been a place where the people of our city gather and celebrate. The events held here throughout the years – large and small – have reflected the changing culture and values of our city.
