Vintage clothing, Western wear, and home furnishings are the finds the area’s own shopping listings point to. The Fatherland District, the cluster of shops on Fatherland Street between 10th and 11th Streets near Five Points, describes its shops in those terms. One offers “Western and retro-styled clothing, vintage shirts, cowboy boots, belts and other high-end vintage items.” Another calls itself “a sweet little shop full of vintage digs” and a children’s consignment store specializes in vintage clothing (Fatherland District). On Gallatin, The Infatuation describes Paloma as a “super funky, effortlessly cool vintage clothing and furnishings store” (The Infatuation). The espresso counter the guide places on its side, Earl Espresso, has since moved to Hillsboro Village (Nashville Guru).
