The Wienermobile visits Greece
So, maybe Torey Toppings and I didn’t hop across the ocean to visit our European friends, but we did find ourselves in Nashville, TN, home of an exact replica of the Parthenon.
Nashville’s moniker being Athens of the South, the city decided that the Parthenon would be a perfect centerpiece for the 1897 fair. After having been rebuilt in concrete in 1920, the iconic building has been a travel destination for decades.
Naturally, the Wienermobile had to pay a visit and even though at first, when you drive up, the Parthenon doesn’t look that big, you quickly realize how the 64-foot tall building dwarfs this 11-foot hot dog.
That Parthenon has nothing on us!
It would take about six Wienermobile vehicles stacked on top of each other to reach the top.

This brings back memories. I saw the Weinermobile back in 2002 in the parking lot of a church in Franklin, Tenn. (which is a suburb of Nashville). It was a total shock and a thrill. I have a picture somewhere that I took of that day. So it’s great to see it back in Tennessee! Come to Atlanta, too!

Come to Athens, TN … named after the Athens in Greece. We are having the Dairy Festival the first weekend in June. This is sponsored by Mayfields Dairy which has the BEST milk and ice cream in the country. (no I do not work for Mayfields) Would love to see you guys!
