It’s time for our weekly photo challenge, where I show you a cool place around Nashville, and you try to guess where it is.

Let’s start by reviewing last week’s challenge and champion:

I took this picture at The Catio Lounge near Opryland Hotel. Catio is a cage-free, nonprofit cat rescue and adoption center that rescues and rehomes more than 1,000 cats a year. For $7-$12, visitors can book hour-long appointments to play with and snuggle the cats — whether or not they plan to adopt. The place is a cat’s paradise, with so many cat toys and resting areas.

Congrats to Hey Nashville reader Dominique Marlow, who correctly guessed the location first! You’re the official cat’s meow for the day.

Dominique told me, “My son … asked if he could just live there and take care of all of them 🤣.” That’s exactly what my daughter said.

Now on to this week’s challenge:
