NASHVILLE

I have never been to Nashville, Tenessee nor have I really been interested in this city, but a friend moved there last year and has been praising the city ever since. With that in mind, I decided to do some research. There are 607,000 people living in Nashivlle, making it the second biggest city in Nashville just behind Memphis. Nashville has earned the reputation of being home to the country music indsustry and rightfully so, the four largest country music labels all have headquarters in this town. There is a lot more to the city than just country music, I was impressed by the art scene which I will go into further detail below, some have even gone so far to dub Nashville as the "Athens of the South" due to its impressive array of musems, galleries, and the like.

Recreation

I realize its cheezy and touristy, but if I ever make it to this city, I would want to tour their version of the Parthenon. This exact replication of the original sits in centennial park and is filled with replicas of famous Greek Gods and Godesses. I have always wanted to go to Greece and tour the ruins, but I think for now this building is as close as I am going to get. Now to make myself feel cooler, I think I need to profile a night club. This place is called the tin roof and looks like any bar we would find in Fort Collins. I realize the picture is small but if you look at it closely it really looks pretty similar to Tonys or Lucky Joes or any of the bars downtown in Fort Collins. Also, on certain nights they have live music. Here is a link to their myspace page: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=41692721
