The Music City Center, the new $598-million convention center with the curvy roof and guitar-shaped ballroom, gets all the attention as a totem of Nashville’s bright future, but Union Station is an anchor to the past. Built in 1900, and all but abandoned by 1979, the stately Gothic railway terminal was spared demolition by a group of Nashville investors. Today, limestone fireplaces, oak doors and panels, and a 65-foot vaulted ceiling marked by golden yellow stained glass distinguish the building, now a hotel, that sits on a hill, just south of the Capitol and a stone’s throw from the live music downtown. Both buildings are open to the public; for a free tour of the mammoth convention center, reserve online well in advance.
音乐城市中心是一座投资5.98亿美元新建的会议中心，有着曼妙的曲线屋顶和吉他造型的舞厅。作为纳什维尔灿烂未来的图腾，它得到了所有人的关注，而城市内的另一个地方——联合车站，却是通向过去的铁锚。它建造于20世纪，在1979年却差点被弃置。这座庄严的哥特式火车站能幸免于拆除，要归功于纳什维尔的一群投资人。而今，它石灰岩的壁炉、橡木门和嵌板以及镶嵌金色玻璃的65英尺高的穹顶天花板，勾勒出了这座建筑与众不同的模样，现在，它成了一座酒店，坐落在田纳西州议会大厦南面的山上，距离市中心的现场音乐表演只有一石之遥。两座建筑都向公众开放。若打算在巨大的会议中心免费游览，需要提前网上预约。
