About this audio guide
This guide to the Dive Motel on Dickerson Pike in Nashville turns on the small ritual object at its threshold, from the nineteen fifties to today. You will hear how a rough stretch of road once meant the Key Motel's clerks worked behind bulletproof glass, and how hoteliers Lyon Porter and Jersey Banks reopened the building in twenty nineteen with a different kind of switch in every room. Along the way, touring musicians and local lore about Hank Williams pass through the pike's heyday. Look for your own room's dial before you do anything else.
