Not for singles or outdoor-sy types and, you NEED - 6/7/2012
You will be very lonely if you're single. Not very many professionals here compared to other cities. You must have a car. There are no sidewalks anywhere and you never see people outdoors. BTW, its one of the fattest cities in the US. Its very spread out so, getting around is an ordeal. Lots of fatal car accidents. The people, however, are very nice; friendly and kind. Not a place for those with allergies, into health food or outdoor activities. Women have that catty southern thing going on but, not as bad as Atlanta. Physically beautiful and has mild temps.

Nashville Crime - 9/21/2011
The crime statistics is right on the money. Nashville does have a lot of crime. Nashville was also ranked one of the most depressed cities by Bloomberg Businessweek. I believe that is true as well. I knew a number of people on prozac and other anti-psychotic drugs. I think that Nashville is a good place to visit. The crime just makes it unattractive. Also, Nashville has a lot of racism. Interracial couples will not do good there.

Nashville has lots of fixing to do! - 8/8/2011
Wow, where do I start. Priorities are all wrong. Nash wants to be know as a metropolitan city, "reality check" it's has a very long way to go. Downtown nashville is way to small for all they want to go on down there. Mostly bars and a few places to eat, Sidewalks are to small. People stand out in the street to take picture while traffic is trying to move. Cars cruse the main street (Broadway) which prohibits buses to move about. Not sure why people get excited about it down there. Not really much to see. It's pretty much a stop thru place while on a vacation to someplace else. You can see all of what Nashville has to offer in a day or less. People are rude driver's that think they own the road and they really can not drive that well. It doesn't take much to get a driver's license here, if you can turn a corner you get one. God forbid it snow's or even rain's hard your much safer staying off the road. The bus system can be so much better then what it is. It's has a very long way to

Weather - 8/3/2011
Summer: Very hot and high humidity make air conditioning a must have. Some days the heat index swells over 112F
Spring: Beautiful and warm. Spring weather starts in March and by April temperatures are well into the 60's. Temperatures range from 60-85 between April and June. Strong storms occur frequently and weather changes rapidly
Winter: If you are coming from a place that sees a lot of snow, Nashville will suprise you. When 1 inch is forcasted, schools and some businesses shut down. The city does not have enough snow plows to adequately keep high ways and busy roads in working order, especially when 2 or more inches fall. Drivers are unsure how to drive, making it hazerdous to leave your house. Temperatures rarely fall below 25-30 degrees.
Fall: Fall is beautiful and warm.
