Nashville is an average city - not too bad not too - 7/24/2011
Wow, I wish I had found out about this site sooner as I have spent the last few hours reading people's funny and accurate reviews of different cities. I found this site by getting reviews about Atlanta as I was thinking about leaving this place. However there are horribly reviews about ATL from everyone and I learned when the majority of people say similar things it is most likely true.
Most of the things said about Nashville are true as well. I have lived here for 11 years and the funny thing is that I had recently said something to my now ex-girlfriend that I read someone else say on here.... that the people here are fake. I have lived all over the world and I keep coming across fake people and so had my girlfriend. Then I said perhaps that is just how this city is, full of fake people?
Also someone else here mentioned how no jobs want to pay more than $10.00 per hour and that is so true. I am mixed with white and black but I am more of a white guy

Living in Nashville - 6/21/2011
I relocated to Nashville in 1986 and have moved out multiple times, but now back again due to family illness. I have never worked in Nashville...I have always travelled and use Nashville for the airport. I can say that I am always looking for a reason not to live in Nashville. It is Not for someone who wants a more expanded

Nice veneer, BUT... - 6/19/2011
People in Nashville are very nice to your face. It's what happens behind your face that gives the total picture. If you're not from here, and worse, not from the south, unles you marry someone from here you will always be an outsider. I've lived in a number of non-south locations and never had and problem meeting people and making friends. Here, they say they'll have you over and it never happens. You don't get invited unless you're from here. Especially in the wealthier areas, they all seem to have gone to school together. If you're not Church of Christ or Baptist look out. If you're Catholic and from the north, you may as well have a third eye. Many transplants here that I've talked to agree. The few friends we have made are fellow transplants. If you're ethnic, it's worse yet. Met a Hispanic PhD here who told me he was treated like he was a groundskeeper when at an event at a local

Nashville, Tennessee - 6/6/2011
Wow, I am so happy and relieved to know that I am not the only one who is deeply unhappy here in this "Great" city of Nashville!! I have laughed at some of the other postings because every bit of them are true. I moved here in 2000 and have been broke every since. I feel like I'm literally frozen in time. I often ask myself, am I better off now then I was 10 years ago? Nope! I moved here to take my life to another level, to find employment, make a decent salary, purchase a home, perhaps meet someone get married.....NONE of that has happened yet.
Every job wants to pay 10.00. Mind you I have graduated from college and have experience. I am single, with two children. There is no way I can purchase a home and be confident about that major purchase making 10.00 an hour. When I moved here I was not looking for love. If I found it fine. But I was not looking. Have I found it yet? Nope! The men I meet here, are either married or are as broke as I am. So I just keep moving. I

Cool place - 4/1/2011
Nashville continues to grow in a down economy and stays active all year long. It has some traffic flow congestion as all major metro areas experience but offers many universities, restaurants, music and performance venues. If you want diversity in an area you will have to go to Detroit or Chicago to beat the communities of Music City.
The airport is great and "You can get there from

Living in Nashville - 3/3/2011
We moved to Nashville 3 years ago from California. We thought it would be cheaper here and I wanted to be closer to family. Well actually living in Nashville is more expensive than it was in Southern California. High Sales Taxes (9.25%), lower pay, high utilities, higher groceries (with a food tax of 7.75%, etc.
I'm glad I found this site as the one I was on that told me for so long about how cheap TN was only allows sugar coated views. Was not allowed to write anything negative or what others have experienced.
So I will be telling more people of this site so they can hear both sides and can make a great judgement before moving here. I wish I'd found this site 3 years

Thanks for your insight - 2/20/2011
Thank you to all who posted your opinion of Nashville. I am in the process of trying to find the ideal place to live and I thought that perhaps Nashville would be on the list. The only way for me to get a taste before taking a trip is to read what a real life experience has been, such as yours. Tourist brochures with the photos of the best of the best just don't do it justice. Sincerely appreciate you taking the

Apples to Oranges - 1/2/2011
My friends and family often ask me, since moving to Nashville 4 years ago, which I like better, Nashville or New York. Im never quite sure how to answer so I say it would be like 'comparing apples to oranges'. I don't care what anybody say, living in the New York City area has it's downfalls and inconvieniences, but it is my most favorite place in the world. Lets face it, if we didn't complain about it we wouldnt be proper New Yawkaz!
I moved to Nashville as a last ditch effort to salvage my son's father and I's relationship, getting away from it all, far away. At first it was an adventure, a strange new land, now I have second thoughts, and perhaps thirds and fourths as well. Needless to say we didnt 'work out' the kinks, and ended up splitting, eventually I met and married a true Southern Gentleman from Brentwood, TN, so now I have a daughter as well. So as the scales tip up and down, where do we live, my beloved New York or his hometown Tennessee?

Nashville is Great: just not a place for SINGLES - 10/24/2010
First, let me say Nashville is great. Weather is good (if you like snow, go somewhere else), there's plenty of things to do whether you are wanting to go outside or stay inside. It's the perfect place for families and relatively low crime. Here's my problem: I'm a single white female in my mid-twenties. I didn't go to college in Nashville and I have no interest in pursuing a career in the music business. To go out and meet other singles, your options are going to frat-bars with all of the Vandy kids, go to local places in your neighborhood where you will see the same locals every week - making you feel like you are in a tiny town, go to a loud honky tonk with tourists, or, if you are desperate for a fun, club-scene, you have to wait until the "after-hours" clubs open up when some of the scariest people Nashville has to offer come out and cruise around and walk around naked - to get into these clubs, you have to be willing to party with 15 year olds using fake ids and getting frisked
