I just recently moved out of Nashville. I lived in Nashville for two years & absolutely fell in love with it. Of course like every place it has it’s good & bad but overall the people are great! They’re so friendly & inviting. Coming from the north before taking the plunge & blindly moving down there I had a lot of ill informed notions about it & a couple of fears. I thought it would be racist rednecks pluckin banjos around the clock with absolutely nothin to distract me from the impending hell(okay slight exaggeration but close). Boy was I wrong! There is a wide variety of people (in addition to the average white & black Americans-Mexicans, Kurdish, Uzbek, etc.) & a slight variety in scenes (old fashion south, urban, high society, college scene, new country, etc.). Overall the weathers great. THE SKIES ARE GORGEOUS!!!! They’re usually a beautiful deep sky blue with perfectly placed fluffy clouds. There’s a lot of great sites, ex: the Parthenon/centennial park (great place to spend a gorgeous day outside), The Frist Museum (great collections on display always), Cheekwood botanical garden(don’t wait till mid summer everything dries up & wilts :( ) & MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE- THE ZOO! It’s set up really nice-it’s compact in that there isn’t long distance walking but still lots of exhibits. The scenery at the zoo is very lush & imaginative. I spent a lot of time there. They have great music venues-always something going on pretty much everywhere. Just pick up their free paper, the Nashville scene or the other one(can’t remember the name) for up to date events. There are even some great trendy bars/night clubs that have absolutely nothing to do with country (if country ain’t your thing). By the time I left I got infected with the country bug. Oh and you have to check out the Opry Mills Mall-basic outlet mall but great design & they have a SANRIO & the Opryland Hotel. It know it sounds weird to visit a hotel you’re not staying at (& I can tell you you ain’t stayin at that hotel unless your wallet is pretty big) but the hotel is amazing! It’s like a mini city. It’s got water falls(literally), a revolving restaurant & a night club among many other things. They decorate it especially for the holidays too. I hope to make it back there someday.
