Add this to the reasons we need to visit Nashville immediately, if not sooner: Dolly Parton has opened Trinkets & Treasures, an emporium of collectible (and non-collectible) fun, charm, kitsch, and delight on Second Avenue, right down the street from Coyote Ugly Nashville and the Wild Horse Saloon.

"It's about time I had a store in Nashville," Parton said at the press conference. "We've always sold things up in East Tennessee at Pigeon Forge and other places, but this is the perfect place for me to have a store. This is the first time we've gone all out, and fans seem to love to be able to walk in a store and pick up what they want, either trinkets or treasures. So we have some fun junk, and we have some really nice pieces: jewelry, tote bags, t-shirts, little hats or baby things—we sell anything in here!"
