  1. ...at the end of the music video for Reba McEntire's "For My Broken Heart" (1991) Reba is walking past the main store in Downtown Nashville with the signage visible.

  2. I practically grew up in that store! I grieve for Castner-Knott each time other department stores fail to offer anything suitable to wear.

  3. My favorite department store, by far. My mother-in-law worked in the downtown store for many years and I bought virtually all of my clothes in the various branches around Nashville for almost 50 years.
