Are you ever going to do more East Coast cities? It's like your whole list consist of South, West & international. The East Coast is more than just NYC bruh.

I rate Nashville an 8.5. My siblings and I own property near Fisk and I go down to visit and check up on things if not every month, every other month. Sister graduated from Fisk and brothers attended Vandy. Girlfriend attended Meharry. I’m the only one that didn’t go to school in Nashville.

Siblings use to stay in the Gulch but bought a house in East Nashville which is super trendy right now.

Nashville has a good art scene, craft beer scene, culinary scene, and music scene. Still relatively small that although traffic gets heavy, it still hasn’t taken me longer than 20 minutes to get anywhere.

Nashville has three HBCUs all within the city. Fisk, Tennessee State, and Meharry. Because of this it has a sizable educated middle class black community, moreso than even Memphis. A number of black business are around the city as well.

Nashville is located near the “Bourbon Trail” for any whiskey enthusiast and is close to Atlanta, Louisville, Birmingham and Memphis.

Real estate market is some of the hottest in the country right now because demand has been through the roof.

People are some of the nicest I’ve met, both whites and blacks. The whites have been nothing but gracious in my interactions with them and the black folks are fraternal.

I do a lot when I go down. My brothers are in a historic black shooting club so I go out and hunt with them. Also, we do hiking and kayaking right outside the city. Bar hopping is fun around Vandy and 12South and the PAWGs are nice. Always hit up the WKND and even Limelight sometimes (they soul food on Thursdays or Fridays be hittin although some folks say you shouldn’t eat it). Titans and Predator games are always fun.

If I moved to the south full-time Nashville would be a top contender along with New Orleans and Charleston.

You've only did like 5 cities from the East with most listed residing in the South, Midwest & West.

I’ve had more people requesting me to do those cities from within those regions but I will try to cover more East Coast cities as well and when I do I’ll let you know.

I like it, would like to go back . The country shtick gets a little played out after a while cuz I think the city has more to offer than just that. That being said, there are some talented musicians there.
Good food city, hit up a couple spots at the Farmers market. I was Surprised at the number of people migrating there. That city definitely won't be the same within the next decade.

Why the international separation?

Heard if you're white Nashville is a 10. Never been so I can't vote on it.

@Nicole0416 thought that I should do the American and international cities separately so I decided to do that from now on.

aka It got mad that NYC wasn't in first place over Tokyo and needed to find a way to skew the data somehow.

Anyways back to our regularly scheduled program. Nashville, seems like an ok city. I would visit but not live there. I know country music is huge there but other than the names of some major artists, I don't know shyt about the genre. I know they got a hockey team and I think the Titans play there cuz i don't think they in Memphis. Speaking of which, I'm sure Memphis got better food and more known for their bbq but I'm sure Nashville has somewhat decent food. Looks like theres not much going on there so a short weekend trip may be sufficient for anyone wanting to visit thats not into the country music scene.

Gave it an 8.

I love Nashville. Been 4 times, and each time I’ve had a great time. I can’t remember the club it was at, but I saw Krit live there once. The area around Vanderbilt was live, and that hot chicken was bussin. Plan on taking my fam there once it warms up a bit.

Don't know much about the city. Cousin loves it. GOAT tier skyline.

It's a growing city obviously. It sits in range of the midwest and most of the deep south. 6 hours north and you're in the Chicago area. 9 hours south and you're into northern Florida. I have to be in the city for work nearly every week. Don't spend a lot of time around there just checking out the sites, but of course people around there love the area. I counted at least 24 cranes in the air around the downtown area. They are building a lot of amenities for tourists and housing for people that choose to live in the area. I think I heard a few years ago where somebody wanting to live in Nashville city had to be making around 80k-90k yearly. That probably has risen in the few years between then and now.

Traffic is horrible for a city it's size though. I use to live in Orlando and I'm pretty sure there's more tourists there daily than Nashville, the difference was traffic kept moving around O-town.... Orlando had toll roads to help with congestion. I stayed off the roads during rush hour when I could down there. But Nashville needs to invest in toll roads and alternate routes along with better public transit..... The construction they are doing to the roads that exist right now will only last for so long. That's generally a problem in a lot of southern cities that didn't realize they would, or didn't want to grow fast.
