Midtown is definitely the most residential of the three. Nashville is the most touristy. Charlotte is the most corporate.
Wow, Atlanta is really flat. That explains why the area gets so many tornadoes.. I didn't realized that.. I like Nashville's location in the hills the best of the three cities.

Atlanta isn't really hilly like Cincinnati or Pittsburgh, but it certainly is not "really flat." It's in the Piedmont where the coastal plain gives way to the mountains and is characterized by rolling hills. I can see that you've never been to Atlanta or at least driven around it. Heck, there are even 'little mountains' (monadnocks) scattered all across the metro area like Stone Mountain, Arabia and Bradley Mountains, Kennesaw Mountain (which is a ridge), etc.

I've never heard of Atlanta having a higher incidence of tornadoes than anywhere else in the Southeast, aside from the truly mountainous areas where they are less frequent. All three of these cities have rather similar rolling, hilly topography and would never by mistaken for Houston or Miami.
Nashville arguably does have the most naturally picturesque urban core, as Atlanta and Charlotte lack a downtown riverfront - but both have semi-major rivers in their suburban areas (the Chattahoochee and Catawba).

Nashville has downtown condo/apartment buildings either built, being built, or scheduled to be built coming out of the woodwork.
Downtown Nashville has AT&T, Bridgestone, UBS, Phillips, LifeWay, HCA, and a host of others as well as soon to be AllianceBernstein, Amazon, Oracle, etc.
Just some information in case someone buys into the tourist only meme.

The post was about the MOST. MOST residential, MOST touristy, and MOST corporate. It's not saying there aren't condos in Nashville.
Once 2021 or 2022 comes around for Nashville, downtown will be much more established and less "construction everywhere."
Also, Nashville really needs to get it moving with the public transportation piece. Until that is in place, it will be a 2nd rate city, unfortunately, and not on the level of the Denver's, Charlotte's and Portland's of the world.
How do you know that there won't be "construction everywhere" in '21 or '22?
As for "established", I don't know what that's supposed to mean.
If transit was really important people, corporations, and developers wouldn't be coming to Nashville in droves. Outside of internet forums no one cares about waiting and riding on public transportation choo choo trains.

This is utter hyperbole. Nashville is growing well but let's not get ahead of ourselves. I think most cities consider public transit important. I am certain you and a few others would be the very first to boost Nashville if it ever got a real transit system. It doesn't mean Nashville is a weak city, but it's transit system is pitiful even compared to Atlanta and Charlotte, and that is a fact.

Speak for yourself. Myself and a lot of other Nashville natives would disagree with you on the need for transit.
