Nashville-Davidson, Tennessee SperlingViews

I spent 3 years in that hell hole between 2003 and 2006. The traffic is absolutely horrible during rush hour. It's better after 8 PM. The air is absolutely filthy and there is always a chemical smell in the air with horrible ozone year round. Except for West End, Green Hills, and Williamson County, the area is loaded with red-necks. Other than country music bars and rib restaurants, there isn't much to do except fight the road rage on the rpad. MSN ranked Nashville as the 5th angriest city in the USA based on road rage and high blood pressure problems. The violent and property crime is horrendous and this is a very dangerous city. If others want to fool themselves into thinking this is a good place, let them. It is dirty, run down, crime ridden, ugly, and the road rage, tailgaters, and volume of traffic that clogges the road will make you wish you never moved to this disqusting toilet.
