Nippers Corner Cleaners - June 6, 2007
0 out of 2 people found this review helpful. THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE! My trusty, old dry cleaners went out of business recently so I've had to shop around. Started with this establishment.

The customer service was terrible, my clothes ended up with more dirt on them that when I brought them in & the counter help was beyond unhelpful & unfriendly.

Skip this place & head on to the next.

I do not recommend this place.

Fleet Feet Sports - January 11, 2007
1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. A great Brentwood-located running store. The staff will fit you with the best running shoe for the shape & size of your foot. A little pricey, but worth it.

Micael-Renee' Lifestyle Portraits - January 11, 2007
1 out of 3 people found this review helpful. A great portrait photographer, you need only look at the location's displayed photos to see that.

But a little price & overbooked as of late.

The Children's Playroom - January 11, 2007
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. The Children's Playroom is a child care facility that takes care of children up to age 12, seven days a week.

I dropped by the other day & you would not believe the fun they were all having in there. It was rather intoxicating.

I recommend this place.

Oreck - January 11, 2007
0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. Just like the other Oreck Vacuum Centers, this Brentwood-located store delivers all that you have come to expect from this chain.

With many Orecks to choose from to purchase, as well as a very handy repair center, this is a yearly stop for us. Never had a problem.

I recommend this place.

L A Weight Loss Ctr - January 11, 2007
0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. I'm not a big LA Weight Loss kind of gal, and this Brentwood-located store is a little dingy I'd say.

I did have a pal try out this location, and she said it was just like the other stores and very convenient for her.

I recommend this place.

Brentwood Wine & Spirits - January 11, 2007
0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. Located in a Brentwood shopping center right off Franklin Rd. this wine & liquor store treats customers right.

With good deals every week, great hours & fully-stocked shelves, you're going to love this find. A knowledgeable staff will lead you to the right place & if there's a wine you're looking for that they do not stock, they are happy to order it for you.

I recommend this place.

Kroger - January 11, 2007
0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. One of my favorite Kroger, this Brentwood-located store is setup a little differently, but it's worth it.

When you park, know that the produce & deli are on the right side & groceries on the left. With great, fresh produce this Kroger aims to please.

I recommend this place.

Smoothie King - January 11, 2007
0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. Located in Brentwood right off Franklin Rd, this Smoothie King is always a little bit dirty for my taste.

The bathroom leaves a little less to be desires & I could swear that no one washes their hands there. Go enjoy a smoothie, but you have been warned.

Sky Cleaners - January 11, 2007
0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. Now, I love Carriage Cleaners on the corner of Old Hickory & Franklin Rd, but when money's tight, Sky Cleaners will do.

With fast & friendly service, you just might make Sky Cleaners the place where you take all your dry cleaning. And with excellent tailoring & alterations, you don't have to go far for a good deal.

I recommend this place.

Cristin's Furniture & Home Decor - January 11, 2007
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Located in Brentwood right off Franklin Rd, this home decor store is a good find.

If you've been shopping in Franklin & downtown Nashville, you know how the prices can be for home furnishings, and that's why you need to send yourself on to Cristin's. With many pieces to choose from & the prices close to being right, this is a store you will keep coming back to.

I recommend this place.

UPS Store - January 11, 2007
0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. I don't have a lot of luck at this UPS Store location, I much prefer the Edmonson Pike location myself. This UPS Store is always crowded & comes with grumpy sales clerks.

If you're just doing some light shipping, grab a place in line; but if you're a serious shipper- try Edmonson.

I do not recommend this place.

N 101 - January 11, 2007

With all kinds of health supplements & nutrition aids, this health store helps you maintain the lifestyle you're working so hard for! Make sure to check out their sale items & save some cash.

Bruegger's Bagels Bakery - January 11, 2007
0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. Oh, how I love Bruegger's Bagels. Open early for breakfast, this bagelry always has FRESH bagels just waiting for you to gobble down.

The pumpernickel is my favorite bagel, but they're all very tasty- especially when you add any of their assortment of cream cheese. Get them to toast your bagel, or just eat it plain, this is my kind of place!

Make sure to check out their catering menu for that next business meeting!

I recommend this place.

Pizza Hut - January 11, 2007
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. To be honest, I've never had much luck with this Pizza Hut location. Located right off Frankin Rd in a Brentwood shopping center, my pizzas are never on time, they're always a bit sloppy & I feel like I paid way too much for what I'm getting. My advice, skip the pizza & head on over next door to Kroger & make your own!

But maybe you can change things around in there, as I see that they're hiring!

I do not recommend this place.

YMCA - January 11, 2007
0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. An older YMCA that's currently in the process of more renovation, this is my favorite Y in the area. Less snooty than Maryland Farms & with tennis courts that you don't have to pay extra for in your membership, this is the Y for you.

The best time to get your exercise is between 9am & 2pm. After 3pm, all the school kids hit the area pretty hard. With great & helpful staff, I know you will love this YMCA.

I recommend this place.

Taco Bell - January 11, 2007
0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. No matter how you feel about Taco Bell, this new location off Old Hickory is always clean & always fast.

Not the best parking planning in the world, this chain fast food restaurant is always reliable in what it sells & it's open late, what more could you ask for?

I recommend this place.

Kroger - January 11, 2007
0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. Not the newest Kroger on the block, but still very handy to Old Hickory.

This Kroger features a First Tennessee Bank, pharmacy, one-hour photo, groceries of course as well as a small floral department.

I like this Kroger because it's close to home, but the deli is expensive & the sushi isn't always fresh.

I recommend this place.

Stein Mart - January 9, 2007

Stein Mart has never been my favorite store, but this location is the best of the best. Great displays, good deals & good organization make this store an A+++.

Wal-Mart - January 9, 2007
0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. This non-superstore Wal-Mart located off Nolensville is nothing really special. It has a small amount of groceries, a pharmacy & all the other things you have come to expect from Wal-Mart.

If you're looking for a good deal on toothpaste, you're in the right spot, but if you're looking for all the other fun stuff Wal-Mart Supercenters can offer go to Franklin or Antioch.

Wal-Mart - January 9, 2007
0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. Unless you absolutely have to, I would avoid this Wal-Mart almost at all costs.

Not a supercenter, this old school Wal-Mart only offers the minimum in groceries & is always ghettotastic. Never very clean or organized, I would go to the Franklin location a few miles away on 65.

I do not recommend this place.

Wolf Camera & Video - January 9, 2007
0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. This Wolf Camera is located in the heart of Cool Springs in Franklin. This location is inside the Cool Springs Galleria Mall, on the second floor.

You know how I feel about mall locations, they're too much trouble to get in & out of. But if you must, or you're already going to be at the mall- this location is always fast with their photo processing & you can usually find at least one helpful person. B+.

Wolf Camera & Video - January 9, 2007
0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. You know I love the Green Hills Mall & Starbucks, so this Wolf Camera ranks high.

Located across the street from the best mall in Nashville, and right next to Starbucks Coffee, you have a lot to keep you occupied while you wait for your one-hour photos.

This particular Wolf Camera location specializes in video conversion. It may take a few days to get back, but it's well worth not sending your precious wedding video out to California to get converted to DVD. A++++!

The photo finishing & processing are superb, I've never had a problem. As at all Wolf Cameras, the prices are a little high because of the quality of your images, so make sure to get a Wolf Pack card to help you when you need it!

Wolf Camera & Video - January 9, 2007
0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. This Wolf Camera located on Thompson Lane is a handy location, especially since it's not located in an annoying mall that's hard to get to.

The one-hour photo is just that, one-hour with no wait usually. The yearly discount card is a good idea if you're getting a lot of processing done at one time- it pays for itself.

A good location with good staff, an A+.
