3 weeks ago | nashvillescene.com | D. Patrick Rodgers |Logan Butts

The building at 2102 Belcourt Ave. has held many names over the past century. It was Hillsboro Theatre when it first opened its doors as a silent film house in 1925, and in the decades since it has been known as Belcourt Cinema and Watkins-Belcourt, among other titles. These names reflect changes in ownership as well as changes in programming. The building has hosted not only films, plays and concerts — it was also the home of the Grand Ole Opry for a brief stretch in the mid-1930s.

Think back to where you were as a junior in high school. You may have been prepping for the ACT or working your first full-time job. The soon-to-be 18-year-old Blades Brown kicked off 2025 by deciding to forgo his college golf career (and his senior year at Brentwood Academy) to make a jump to the professional ranks directly out of high school. It was a logical move for the three-time state champion. Last summer, Brown made the cut during his PGA Tour debut, placing 26th at the Myrtle Beach Classic.
