Overview
(edit)
Nashville, the capital of Tennessee, is the second largest city, next to Memphis. The population of Nashville is just over 600,000, and the major industries are healthcare, banking, publishing, and transportation.
The weather in Nashville is generally nice, with no harsh winters, but a bit on the muggy side. Centered around a music culture, the people in Nashville have that southern hospitality, very friendly and considerate for the most part. Nashville has plenty of shopping, bars, and restaurants to offer. However, Nashville does not have the fast-paced urban feel that you would expect of a capital city.

City Wiki
Nashville is home to many types of people who are a mix of the old south and newer transplants from other parts of the United States. When most people think of Nashville they think of the Home of Country Music, which it certainly is, but a closer look reveals a vibrant indy music scene with diverse acts ranging from christian music groups like Not Ashamed, to indy Rock groups The Protomen. On the east side of Nashville you have a younger more art and creative community and on the west part you have the wealthy old money and recently rich business owners. Two higher educational centers of note are Vanderbilt and Belmont and around both you will find a thriving youthful collection of restaurants and things to buy and go see. 5th Avenue downtown has many Art Galleries and hosts Nashville's "Art Crawl" once a month on Saturday night where you can get and eye full of diverse people and fill your belly with free wine and finger foods. So if you are Jack White, or someone unknown you can always find a friendly place to hang out in Nashville, a big city with a small town appeal.
