This area is a nice rest stop to venues south of here…the zoo is nice…and there are a few nice restaurants…but do not EVER live here…there is nothing to do, nowhere (decent) to work, and not near enough for little kids to do. There are areas of town certain people should NOT venture into haphazardly and there are many places here that will leave you at best wondering what all the buzz was about. I really hate to sound so ugh about it, but I lived near Nashville for three years and for as much as our big wigs like to put on, this place has no culture, no real lifestyle, no…anything. It’s a place for people who grew up here to visit family and spots…but for travelers, stretch your legs at the zoo, grab a bite to eat at Copelands, and get on with the rest of your trip. You’ll be happier once you do.

Ok, so the fishing & hunting is great here…and the camping is ok if you can stand the 100% humidity & mosquitos…but I don’t hunt and fishing & camping don’t happen too often for me.

There…that’s my community service announcement.
