10 Things You’ll Love About Nashville

Travel Youtube Thumbnail.png

I love living in Nashville, TN. After moving to the city in 2007, made my way to East Nashville in 2009 and haven’t looked back. It’s hard to describe how much the city has changed in the last 10 years. It’s mind-boggling, actually. And for the most part I freaking love it. Here is a list- in no particular order- of what you’ll love about Music City.

Nashville’s booming food scene is no longer secret.

Websites like Eater provide commentary on the openings and closings, the best and the disappointing. Downtown, East Nashville, Sylvan Park, West Nashville, Germantown, Hillsboro, and Green Hills all have a TON of great places to eat and drink. It’s certainly fun to check out the new places, but still really important to support the O.G’s.

Nashville Business Journal’s Crane Watch is The Best

Most of the last few years, Nashville-area has had more cranes than many of the country’s largest metros. Keeping up with what’s-going-where seems never ending. The massive projects did not budge during Coronavirus.

Which Suits You?

I moved to East Nashville in 2009 and have lived in all 3 of its zip codes. I love the old homes, the creative new construction, the people, restaurants, and community. Clients have fallen in love with 12 South, Germantown, Nations, Sylvan Park and so many neighborhoods in between. Curious about a neighborhood? Let me know!

Parks and Trails That Connect Us

A Greenway is described as linear parks and trails that join neighborhoods to schools, parks, transportation, and work. I’ve spent hours on Shelby Bottoms Greenway along the Cumberland River. During quarantine I finally got to spend a lot of time running loops at Cornelia Fort Airpark, which is a key piece of Shelby Park.

Had To List It

OK, so I don’t go down there much anymore, but there was a time… For many tourists, it’s all they know about Nashville. My favorite? Robert’s.

World Class Waterfalls and Swimming Holes

Within 90 minutes of Nashville there are truly breathtaking spots for hiking. On one of our first dates, Tara and I played hooky and spent a weekday at Cummins Falls. 10/10 would recommend (long weekends and holidays can be jam packed).

Did You Know the State Capitol Building Was Turned Into A Union Fort?

It was the only state capitol building fortified during the Civil War. Of course it’s still there today and definitely worth checking out.

Music City Has Live Music. Got it.

But it’s not ALL country. And it isn’t JUST the Ryman (though, the Ryman is the freaking best). The small venues make Nashville truly special. Station Inn just might be my favorite.

Strong Market and More To Come

Entertainment is big business in Nashville, but so is Tech and Health Care. Plus, Amazon plans to hire 5,000+ for the fancy new Nashville Yard towers.

You Name It, We Got It (almost)

Three major pro sports, college athletics, a gigantic rock’n marathon, triathlon, and even pig racing at the Wilson County Fair.
