About this audio guide
This guide to Goo Goo Chocolate Co in downtown Nashville follows the odd life of a candy bar's name, from a streetcar ride in nineteen twelve involving candy maker Howell Campbell Senior and an unnamed schoolteacher, to a belief many Nashvillians still hold about how that name connects to the Grand Ole Opry. It is a story about how a company legend hardens into folklore over a century. Stop by the dipping window before you go, where chocolatiers still shape each cluster by hand.
