Great city!

I loved living in Franklin. This city has the small town feel with all the big city extras.
I've lived in Nashville and Franklin and now (unfortunately) living in Houston. I miss living in Franklin very much.
Downtown Franklin has a small town feel with a square, an old style movie theater and very old historic homes. Yet Franklin still has many of the big city extras like a large 20 screen movie theater, great restaurants, parks and great shopping.
Franklin is located in Williamson county and Williamson is the wealthiest county in Tennessee. The climate is great. Hot summers but nice crisp falls and mild winters. Frankin doesn't average much snow per year but they get enough the cover the ground and sometimes for sleding. Ice and sleet seem to be a bigger issue in the Nashville/Franklin areas.
Franklin is surrounded by rolling hills and many rural farms and white picket fences. There are an abundance of trees and seeing the leaves change colors in the fall can be therapeutic.
Franklin seems to be mainly white but since Franklin has the small town feel, everyone says hello to you. Some country music stars live in Franklin and several Tennessee Titans have taken up residence there as well. I find the people there very classy but not snotty.
Homes can be expensive because as I mentioned, I believe its the wealthiest county.
I look forward to the day when I can get back home to Franklin. I get home about once or twice a year now and from what I've seen it is really growing. I am hoping that it hasn't lost it's small town appeal. I would highly recommend living in Franklin for any considering a move to Nashville.
