I think calling Clarksville ‘backwater’ is unfair. The population is about 100k, far from a small town. Sure, it’s not a bustling city but that doesn’t mean that there’s absolutely nothing to do here. I have found plenty of things to do here, and of the people i’ve met, those who complain about finding nothing to do are the ones who don’t try. Also, Nashville is a short drive away, less than an hour. Perfect for a day trip on the weekend.

Any place is what you make of it. If you try to make the best of it, you will.
