I wouldn't recommend the City of Smyrna as a place to live. If moving is a consideration, consider it!

Bump 'cause as a very involved parent of a child attending SCE and a resident of the Smyrna/Murfreesboro area for the past, oh 35 years, I'd love to hear details insetad of a blanket statement.

I wasn't trying to run down Smyrna, it is just too close to Nashville, it was not meant to be taken as a slam against the school or town. I apoligize if I offended anyone.

What exactly is your reasoning behind your negative view of SCE or the City of Smyrna?

I don't get it. How is Smyrna too close to Nashville? How far out do you have to go to be not too close? Am I the only one confused?
