Review of Nashville, Tennessee


Nashville has lots of fixing to do!
Star Rating - 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 go. Way to much to talk about there. There are no bus lanes downtown to help (city) buses move freely but they do have valet parking on the busy bus fareways not to mention the buses has to with tourist buses, horse-n-buggy, hotel vans and people standing in the street like they think cars and buses won't hurt if they get hit. Simple solution bright law makers of nash. Put no parking lines and/or no loading signs in places that are high traffic area's on bus routes. Paint a yellow line on the corner of 5th and B'way on both sides of the street at least 60 feet long and give out ticket or fines to those that won't obey. Get rid of the valet parking on b'way ITS DANGEROUS!!!! Common-sense is not a strong point for people here at all. This just a very small bit about Nashville, I choose not to go further to avoid carpaltunnel syndrome. When I hear people from Tn say " I visited NY and loved it but I could never live there" I know why! NY is way over your little heads. There are some nice people here don't get me wrong. I just don't run into them that often.

I'm from here and have lived in other cities before ,the real deal is that Nashville is just that a ville ,a township.The city is a facade .In most neighborhoods they're no side walks has nothing to do with money .It's a way of dividing socio-economic groups.Companies don't pay here because they get away with it .Remember it is a right to work state,so they can fire you for any reason.They refuse to get a decent rail system ,their excuse is their is not enough density,the real reason is these mom and pop car dealerships would loose business,and that would affect the politicians wallets.Nashville is for conservatives and that's ok ,most people who move here from major metropolises that like Nashville ,don't like diversity and they're not forward thinking people .Nashville embraces that mentality and fosters it,and people like that thrive in an environment like this.So don't be shocked It's Nashville ,not Nashiago ,or NashYork ,It's NashVILLE,and will always be.YA'LL COME BACK NOW ,YA HEAR!!!
