A LIFESTYLE LOVE LETTER

I’m not very active on social media. Sometimes I’ll post two or three things in a week, then I’ll disappear for two or three months. But when I do post, I’m either serious or silly, without much in between. Much how I try to be in this space each month.

With that preamble out of the way, a few years ago I posted this: “It’s Valentine’s Day and I’m grateful to be married. Because I don’t have to do anything.”

The comment received a lot of attention, and it was rewarded with every emoji you can imagine. From hearts and kisses to stuff you don’t like stepping in.

I’m mindful that Bellevue City Lifestyle’s audience is predominantly female. So, this month I’m directly addressing those of you who fall into that segment. On behalf of my brethren, I want you to know that February is the most difficult month of the year for us. (Nor is it easy for male editors tasked with writing the Lifestyle Letter, as this one is being crafted less than 15 minutes prior to my hard deadline). We think about February 14. A lot. We want Valentine’s Day to be great and memorable. For the right reasons.

The crazy part is that, even though we know not much is expected, sometimes (frequently?) we still manage to fall short. This is just an explanation, not an excuse or plea for undeserved forgiveness.

So, however your Valentine’s Day may be this year, be it meager or grand, take it from me: a lot of thought went into it and it came straight from the heart.

Love y’all and Happy Valentine’s Day!

In this issue we’re excited to present feature stories on some of Bellevue’s lesser-known but greatest treasures. While everyone is familiar with The Loveless Café, did you know that its event spaces rival anything you’ll find in a town that’s jam-packed with such offerings? Then there’s Mike Chilando, a lifelong Bellevue resident and entrepreneur who has owned some of the top-performing Midas locations–in the world–including a new one on Old Harding Pike. Finally, we’ll introduce you to Dan Albright, a Bellevue resident and the founder of Greenway Surfers. The Surfers have been skateboarding along the greenways for more than a decade. We hope you enjoy reading about them this month.

THROUGH THE EYES of a Child

Eight Decades in and Mike Chilando still sees going-to-work like he’s going-to-the-playground.

ARTICLE BY ED ATLAS | PHOTOGRAPHY BY LINDSEY BAYDOUN

When he was eight years old, Mike Chilando gathered some supplies from around the house, assembled a shoeshine box and went door-to-door in his West Nashville neighborhood, shining shoes for a quarter. He then took his services to a barber shop. Then another. And another.

That was 70 years ago, and he’s been going strong ever since. After graduating from Father Ryan High School, Chilando briefly attended UT-Nashville before deciding to leave school to go into business. His first venture: owning a liquor store. He also served six years as a reserve in the U.S. Marine Corps.

Chilando, who calls himself “an entrepreneur by trade,” has owned a dozen businesses as diverse as an antique mall, a used car rental agency and an unfinished furniture dealership called Naked Furniture.

“Working is the same thing to me as traveling is to others,” he says. “I love building things up and watching people become gratified by having good jobs.”

Later in his career Chilando gained a foothold in the automotive service sector by becoming a Midas franchisee and establishing some of the brand’s highest-performing shops. At its peak, he owned eight Midas stores across Middle Tennessee, including one on Charlotte Pike that he still owns, and the former Belle Meade location that became the No. 6 Midas shop in the world.

Chilando exited that location a few years ago when he was unable to purchase the property outright. At that point, he was content to continue with the Charlotte Pike location, until a fateful afternoon in October 2023.

“I was at the car wash on Highway 70 in Bellevue and I saw across the street that the old Captain D’s restaurant had been boarded up,” he recalls. “I thought, ‘what a location for a new Midas!’”

MIDAS

He made a few calls and closed on the real estate in the summer of 2024. Construction of the new Midas location began shortly thereafter but the project quickly hit a snag.

“As they were clearing the lot and digging for footers, they found the remnants of an old convenience store underneath where the restaurant had stood,” Chilando says. “Instead of hauling it off 42 years ago, they just pounded it into the ground.”

The result was a month-long delay and corresponding cost overruns. “I bought one building and got another one for free,” he quips. “It was the worst BOGO deal of my life.”

Eventually a new building emerged and the sparkling 7-bay Midas at 7075 Old Harding Pike opened for business on November 4, 2025. Not only that, Chilando brought on board some of the key team members who helped elevate the Belle Meade Midas to its lofty perch. Among them are 20-year veteran general manager Keith Boldus and senior service advisor Doug Holt. New to the team is store manager Mike Safstrom who previously managed eight Advance Auto Parts stores.

The store stocks all major tire brands but it’s also a one-stop shop for your vehicle’s

Located next to Lee Company at 7075 Old Harding Pike, the NashvilleBellevue Midas service center is open weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday hours are 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Walk-ins are welcome. For a complete list of services, or to schedule an appointment, visit Midas.com.

“In the long run cars will cost so much less to operate if you spend a little money on the front end.”

routine and major maintenance. With their Digital Vehicle Inspection (DVI) the Midas team can provide customers with a real-time, closeup view of the current condition of their vehicle’s systems. “We take a tablet to every car, write the estimate and text or email it along with a video so that the customer can see exactly what needs to be repaired,” Chilando says.

Americans love their cars and trucks and Chilando says one of the best ways to keep them in top condition is to keep them properly maintained. That means taking your car or truck to a mechanic or garage you trust for all routine oil changes tire rotations.

“Take 20 minutes and read about your vehicle’s service schedule,” Chilando advises. “The warranty specifies that you do not have to take it to the dealer and we’re right here in Bellevue so there’s no place more convenient or better equipped. In the long run cars will cost so much less to operate if you spend a little money on the front end.”

Chilando notes that Midas has over 1,200 locations throughout the U.S. and Canada. So, if you’re out of town and your vehicle needs service, any of those locations will have access to your car’s service records at the new Bellevue location.

As a life-long Bellevue resident, Chilando is pleased to bring the new store to the community. He also gives back in numerous ways, specifically when it comes to helping young people.

Recently the new Bellevue Midas sponsored basketball tournaments at Lawson High School. Chilando also supports St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and The Hope Clinic for Women, which holds a special place in his heart. “I sponsor events for them and give to them generously,” he says. “They bring babies to life so that they can be adopted. They take care of the mother throughout her pregnancy and pay for doctors and the adoption. If it has to do with saving a child, I want to be involved.”

That’s because every child has promise, hopes and dreams. Just like a particular 8-year-old boy had not so long ago.

THE LOWDOWN ON LOVELESS EVENTS

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT EVENT OFFERINGS THROUGH THE LOVELESS CAFE AND THE STORIED HISTORY THAT PAVED THE WAY.

ARTICLE BY KELLIE WALTON PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

The story of the Loveless Cafe may feel like it’s defined by history, but after learning more about how the brand has thoughtfully evolved, it’s abundantly clear that history has come full circle.

What started as Annie and Lon Loveless selling fried chicken and biscuits off their front porch in 1951 at a little restaurant called the Harpeth Valley Tea Room has grown and expanded over seven decades to meet the needs of the local community and I-40 passersby alike. When hungry neighbors needed food, the dining room expanded to host them, and when travelers with full bellies needed a place to tuck in for the night, Lon built motel rooms.

“We do offer so much that a typical venue wouldn’t. It gives you the ability to have it all in one place logistically.”

Fast forward to 2009, and that same entrepreneurial spirit fueled by answering needs led to the opening of event spaces: the massive Loveless Barn, the more intimate Harpeth Room, and even a food truck to take events on the road.

Now, nestled into the same property where half a million people a year come for

the famous biscuits (some 10,000 are still made daily), there's a full-service events operation that can handle everything from a cozy 40-person gathering to a sprawling 1,000-person celebration that spills from the barn (which seats about 250 comfortably) into a tent on the lawn. With the addition of such stellar (and storied) venues

right here in Bellevue, it negates the need to head north for things like showers, corporate events, and full-scale weddings.

Unlike many venues that lend space only, the Loveless Events team operates under a more inclusive model. Tables, chairs, flatware, china, linens, setup, breakdown—it's all baked into the reservation.

“Some people think you have to book years out. That’s not always the case. Reach out, have the conversation—you never know.”

"We do offer so much that a typical venue wouldn't," says Christina SanMiguel, GM of Events at Loveless Cafe. "It gives you the ability to have it all in one place logistically. It's less stress on the client, and a little easier on the budgets that you may be handling."

The menu is equally surprising. While, yes, options are rooted in the Southern classics Loveless Cafe is known for (you can certainly have those biscuits at your wedding), they’re well aware not everyone wants fried chicken at a formal event.

"We expanded the menu and added some things that are higher end—filets, steaks, seafood, which you might expect in a wedding environment," executive chef Scott Peck adds.

Or you can opt for the best of both worlds with things like passed biscuits during cocktail hour, then sit down to something more sophisticated for dinner. Stations are also an option… the “chicken and fixins’ station” has particularly piqued my interest.

Loveless Events also goes off-road with their food truck service. They've parked it at everything from small backyard weddings to office luncheons, plated dinners at other event venues, and more.

"The food truck allows us to expand; it gives us the ability to go further and ensure the quality of the food is met and is as

fresh as possible," SanMiguel says. They've even handled vendor coordination, place settings, and logistics for clients hosting events elsewhere.

And while some events book up to two years out, the team regularly executes beautiful celebrations with just a few months' notice.

"Some people think you have to book years out," SanMiguel notes. "That's not always the case. Reach out, have the conversation—you never know."

Holiday parties, corporate events, proms, bar and bat mitzvahs, fundraisers, weddings, both intimate and over-the-top: you name it, and they’re likely up for the task.

In an era (and, let’s be honest, a region) where hospitality often feels increasingly corporate and cookie-cutter, it’s refreshing to see a business that's grown from front-porch chicken sales to a full events operation while maintaining a local identity and a philosophy of meeting community needs.

Annie and Lon probably never imagined that their roadside diner and biscuit recipe would be the stuff of bridal daydreams and staples at corporate galas, but they’d be tickled to see what the Loveless legacy has done for Bellevue.

The Loveless Barn and Harpeth Room are open for events daily. VisitLovelessEvents. com or call 615.724.7991 to start planning.

DIS COVER THE VALAIS REGION OF SWITZERLAND, WHERE ALPINE TRAILS, THERMAL SPRINGS, AND LOCAL TRADITIONS CREATE RESTORATIVE TRAVEL.

AN ALPINE ESCAPE

In Switzerland’s Valais region, wellness and adventure are always part of the same itinerary. Morning could bring a high-alpine hike, afternoon a soak in mineral-rich springs, and evening a table set with traditional cuisine, always including delicious wine and cheese. For travelers, the best part will be finding the perfect balance between exploring the outdoors and relaxing with wellness-infused activities in the heart of the Swiss Alps.

A CAR-FREE ALPINE ADVENTURE IN ALETSCH ARENA

An easy train ride from Zurich lands visitors in the Aletsch Arena, a high-alpine region on the south side of the Bernese Alps, home to three villages: Riederalp, Bettmeralp, and Fiescheralp. Known for its ski slopes in winter and hiking in summer, the area is entirely car-free, making walking and local buses the main modes of transportation through its quaint chalet-lined streets.

One of the main attractions of the ski-in/ski-out area is the Aletsch Glacier, the longest glacier in the Alps. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the 12-mile glacier is visible from several vantage points, shaping every experience in the area.

WHERE TO STAY

ARTICLE BY GABI DE LA ROSA

Located in the heart of Bettmeralp, Hotel Panorama provides no-fuss accommodations steps away from the picturesque Chapel Maria Zum Schnee. The hotel’s restaurant offers delicious regional cuisine, including raclette paired with Swiss wine. A good bottle of Pinot Noir or Gamay is also easy to come by because the Valais region of Switzerland is one of the largest wine-producing areas in the country, with vineyards dotting the steep slopes of the Rhône Valley. In addition to wine and cheese, eating cholera, a covered vegetable pie invented in the region during the cholera epidemic, is a must.

WHAT TO DO

Begin at Viewpoint Moosfluh, the closest and lowest vantage point of the Aletsch Glacier. From there, trailheads lead to Villa Cassel, once the home of a British financier and now a museum focused on history and conservation. The hike passes through a thousand-yearold forest with views of both the glacier and the Matterhorn.

Walk over Goms Bridge, a nearly 1,000-foot-long suspension bridge that connects two hiking areas over the Rhône River. For a final look at the majestic glacier, take the cable car to Viewpoint Eggishorn. At nearly 10,000 feet above sea level, it offers panoramic views of the Matterhorn, Mont Blanc, Jungfraujoch, or the “Top of Europe,” and the most comprehensive view of the Aletsch Glacier.

THERMAL WATERS AND MOUNTAIN VIEWS IN LEUKERBAD

After miles of hiking in the Aletsch Arena, it is time to relax and recharge in the mountain village of Leukerbad.

WHERE TO STAY

Hotel Restaurant Quellenhof Leukerbad is steps away from many of the area’s best thermal pools. The hotel also has a restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner with several regional specialties.

WHAT TO DO

Since the 1500s, the area has been a well-known destination for wellness and healing due to over 65 natural hot springs that

flow into the alpine village. Several public bathhouses welcome visitors year-round, including Leukerbad Therme, the largest thermal wellness resort in Europe. The family-friendly wellness center includes ten pools and a range of hot and cold plunge options. Walliser Alpentherme & Spa and Therme 51 also offer public access to the mineral-rich waters.

A hike through Dala Gorge provides beautiful mountain views while traversing a 2,000-foot suspension bridge over the Dala River. Hikers can also experience a 100-foot waterfall before the forested hiking trail leads back to Leukerbad.

The village is considered one of the most traditional and beautiful alpine settings in the country. It lacks the pretentiousness of Switzerland’s larger metropolitan areas and offers a storybook atmosphere with a friendly small-town feel. Walking through

Leukerbad reveals gorgeous chalets, small shops, bakeries, and restaurants worth exploring.

WHERE TO EAT

No trip to Switzerland is complete without fondue. Dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries, fondue, which translates to “melt” in French, is a national dish consisting of a blend of Gruyere and Emmental cheeses. One of the oldest family-owned restaurants in Leukerbad, Restaurant Sternen offers traditional fondue along with a variety of mix-ins and dipping options. Pair the fondue with Valais wine for a celebratory meal. Restaurant Waldhaus is one of the most elevated restaurants in the village and is another family-run establishment offering a seasonal menu and over 70 different grappas to choose from.

HISTORY AND ALPS MEET IN MARTIGNY

A short train ride takes visitors to one of the largest cities in the Valais region of Switzerland. The city is a crossroads between Italy and France, with a history dating back to Roman times. Visitors can tour Roman ruins, including a well-preserved amphitheater, ancient settlements, and Roman baths.

WHERE TO STAY

Martigny Boutique Hotel is minutes from the train station and is one of the few establishments in the city employing people with disabilities. The light and bright hotel provides a comfortable base for exploring the city.

WHAT TO DO

Take the steepest funicular in the world, the Mont-Blanc Express, on a scenic ascent through the Alps. The funicular connects to a smaller train that leads to the Trient Valley on the French-Swiss border, where, at the top, a full day of activity begins. Hiking, biking, zip-lining, or traversing the Emosson Dam, which straddles France and Switzerland, are all options. The crystal clear blue waters of Emosson Lake are perfect for a picnic or a break between adventures.

Back in Martigny, Barryland, the only theme park in the world dedicated to St. Bernard dogs, offers a look at the history of the dog, bred by monks in the 17th century for alpine rescue work. The Barry Foundation, founded in 2005, continues to preserve the breed and educate visitors about it. Guests can watch the dogs train, play, and interact as they learn about their role in the region.

Roman influence remains visible across the city, including at Les Bains Publics at Hotel Borsari, where visitors can soak in cement wine barrels located in the hotel’s spa. The baths sit on the site of a former wine tank factory and offer a circuit of hot and cold pools in a historically inspired, wine-colored setting.

RIDE WITH

RESIDENTDANALBRIGHTHAS

When Dan Albright moved to Bellevue in 2003, he had no idea that he’d establish a longstanding community organization with Greenway Surfers.

Albright loved skateboarding as a kid and when he saw some people riding longboards at the park one day, he decided to give his long-lost hobby another try and bought one himself. The rekindling of this passion fortuitously coincided with the timing of the opening of the Bellevue section of the Metro Nashville Greenway.

He and his daughters Mary and Anna, who were 13 and 15 at the time, all bought skateboards and regularly visited the greenway to practice, and their love of skateboarding grew from there. Albright, who homeschooled his daughters from the time their family moved to town until they graduated high school, started bringing their friends to board with them after attending their weekly homeschool group. This eventually led to the founding of Greenway Surfers, a weekly meet-up for anyone wanting to take to Bellevue’s section of the greenway on some form of wheels. They’ve been meeting for a weekly 12-mile ride every Monday evening from March through October since 2013. While the group is mainly comprised of longboarders, they also invite people who rollerblade or bike. Their current group of regulars ranges from 20-somethings to 60-year-olds,

but all ages are welcome. The group has recently even had appearances by Albright’s 3-year-old grandson, who is following in the family "footsteps" and currently learning to skateboard.

For Albright, he says that having easy access to the greenway is one of the things he loves most about living in Bellevue. “It's the best greenway in all of Nashville,” he says. “I've ridden every single greenway, every foot of every greenway, and I can say for sure: we got the best one right here. It’s just been a great community for us.”

In addition to the weekly longboarding meetups, Albright also leads a distance skate each year called the Nashville Skate Tour, a tradition now in its 13th year that

“IT’S THE BEST GREENWAY IN ALL OF NASHVILLE,” HE SAYS. “I’VE RIDDEN EVERY SINGLE GREENWAY, EVERY FOOT OF EVERY GREENWAY, AND I CAN SAY FOR SURE: WE GOT THE BEST ONE RIGHT HERE. IT’S JUST BEEN A GREAT COMMUNITY FOR US.”

was inspired by his eldest daughter. “My oldest daughter Anna, she for some reason, got it in her head that she wanted to walk across Tennessee,” he says. “So, at the end of that 2013-2014 school year, my wife drove us to Memphis, dropped us off at the Mississippi River, and we spent 35 days walking across Tennessee. So that's when I came up with the idea for the Nashville Skate Tour, which is our big event we do now.  It ranges anywhere from 42 miles up to 45 miles and we always, we start in Bellevue at the Harpeth River Greenway, and we always end at the dam at Percy Priest.”

When asked about his goals for the group, the 51-year-old has longevity in mind for both himself and for Greenway Surfers. In addition to wanting to keep the weekly meetups and annual distance skate going for as long as possible, he has some lofty personal goals. “I always try and be able to at least skate my age in miles,” he says. “I can still do 51 miles at this point.”

Albright has personally completed a 188-mile skateboarding race in Atlanta four times. “You race from Atlanta to Anniston, Alabama and back over the course of three days,” he says. “The longest day being 94 miles.”

For those interested in trying out a ride with Greenway Surfers, message Albright on the group’s Instagram @greenway_surfers for more details.

VALENTINE’S DAY CHEESECAKE

ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY CASSIE SUPPES

Valentine’s Day is all about showing your loved one just how much you care. Rather than opting for the predictable chocolates and flowers, why not showcase your culinary prowess and create a one-of-a-kind cheesecake? Not only will this delectable treat demonstrate your affection, but it will also add a personal and luxurious touch to the holiday celebration. Make this Valentine’s Day truly memorable by going above and beyond with a heartfelt, homemade gift. Cheesecake is the perfect dessert for two because it’s both rich and indulgent, but not too heavy. Plus, it can be easily customized to fit your own personal taste and it’s much easier than you think!

TO MAKE THE PERFECT CHEESECAKE, YOU’LL NEED:

• 1 pound cream cheese, softened

• 1 cup sugar

• 3 eggs

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1/2 cup sour cream

• 1/2 cup heavy cream

• 1 prepared graham cracker crust

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Next, add in the sour cream and heavy cream and mix until everything is well combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the cheesecake is set. Let cool completely before serving.   For this recipe, we decided to add berries and honey to the top of our cheesecake. Take the time to make yours special to your relationship. With toppings such as chocolate, jelly, whipped cream, berries, fruit, or whatever your partner’s favorite is, you’re sure to make them smile. Make things colorful by adding food coloring to the mix, it can even be made in their favorite color. You can also change things up by making your own crust with Oreos or cinnamon crackers.

To elevate this recipe to the next level, consider using high-quality ingredients such as grass-fed cream cheese and locally sourced honey. For added luxury, try using a blend of different types of berries, or even substituting the graham cracker crust with a crust made of crushed pistachios or hazelnuts.

In addition to adding a variety of toppings, you can also get creative with the presentation. For example, try using a springform pan to create a heart-shaped cheesecake, or using cookie cutters to create fun shapes out of the cheesecake slices. You can also garnish the cheesecake with edible flowers or a sprinkle of edible gold dust for a truly indulgent experience.
