If Nashville really was on this level, “LA” wouldn’t need to be invoked. Any time you see these types of analogies that rely on the bigger brand you know you’re looking at hype. You don’t see Seattle saying their the SF of the PNW, Vegas saying they’re the NYC of the desert, etc.

I've been there, and it was fine, IMO. It's a place people I know have visited once, and then counted that as their one trip to Nashville, with no need to return.

Just because someone posed this question 7 years ago, doesn't mean there's an answer. Not one of those cities is like LA.

But the only right answers on this poll are Miami and Atlanta lol. They come the closest, though still very different.

While Atlanta is a cute little southern city, it ain't no Cashville.

You are correct indeed. It’s geographically small, hella cute and in the South. And it’s definitely not “no Cashville.” It’s The ATL, The A, A-Town or your favorite: The capital of the South.

And yet more material for your show. You could probably clean up with this act at any number of dive bars on Broadway.

When I see my Black friends heading to Nashville for vacation like they do Vegas and South Beach, I'll believe it.

Nightlife is either being reshaped as a by-product or ultimately nullified as a result.
Nightlife itself is being pushed out due to greater demand and rising property costs. The two-story nightlife venue gets replaced for a 25-story luxury apartment building....wash, rinse, repeat.
