I love the Nashville library! And you're right, it's hard to believe it was built in 2000. It was designed to look old, and it does. It's not some ugly modern thing that's going to end up looking silly and outdated in 20 years.

Did you also check out the new symphony hall? It also has a very classic look.

I hope you enjoy living in Nashville. I think it's one of the nicest big cities in the country. And to think that about 50 years ago Nashville and Knoxville were about the same size...

I talked to more friendly people in 6 days than I have in 3 years in FL.

YES!!! And that, my friend, is one of the main reasons why I am soooo happy to be living up here and not back in my home state of Florida.

lol, very true! So... what did you do with all those business cards?

I'm glad you enjoyed your visit. I'm sorry the weather wasn't a little nicer. We've been having one of the strangest Aprils that I can remember.

By the way, the library here is a good one. The people working there are generally helpful and you can request anything you want over the Internet and pick it up at the nearest branch library.

So nice to hear what so many of us living here know! Although I am leaving the area this summer, Nashville will always be close to my heart. The people truely are some of the most welcoming in the country. Glad you found your way here! My sister came here over 20 years ago being kicked and dragged and now she would never consider living anywhere else.
Welcome to Nashville!

That's why I've lived in Middle TN my entire life! It is always nice to go away on vacation, but we are more than ready to come back to Tennessee. There's no place like home!

I love Nashville too for different reasons. When I was growing up, Nashville was kind of run down. me and my family went there all the time but never actually went to the city much because it was sort of depressing. I came back 6 months ago for the first time in 12 years. In my opinion, if I had to choose between NYC, Chicago, SF, LA, or Boston, I'd choose Nashville. Probably one of the prettiest cleanest cities I've seen. That and they are building NEW things, but in a cool way. Like the new symphony hall, art museum in the art deco post office building, and the country music hall of fame.

My conclusion: I have got to keep this a SECRET because if more people knew about it, they'd move there and mess it up! so... everyone here... shhhhh!
