I've never been to either one.

Which is better for a short visit, and which is better to live in, if different than best to visit?


What are the people like?

Music is better in Austin.
Food is better in Austin.
Cost of living is better in Austin.
Only bad thing about Austin is all the Utex fans.

why's that?

Nashville is growing like crazy, you get all 4 seasons, (beautiful falls), and there are like 5 universities within the city limits

not to mention a pro football and hockey team

and obviously an SEC team

and people love country music

and bars. So many bars.

I don't like country and I love rocking blues.

ETA: and I don't really like the people in Nashville. At least the people I know who moved their aren't my favorite. A bit too much of the country club vibe. I need someplace that has a bit of an edge to it. Something a little dark and dirty.

I shouldn't have just said country

People underestimate the music in Nashville

we have great jazz, bluegrass, blues and country

Have been to both, but spent much more time in Nashville.
I like it much better than Austin.

I am in Austin every two weeks.

It's a lot of fun to visit but most of it gets old quick.

Snobbiest town I know of and I'm including Dallas and NYC. Terrible traffic for a town its size. High cost of living. Yuppies and pan handlers.

On the flip side, amazing local talent, great bar scene, tons of awesome parks, best music scene in the country, and good food.

If you're a single dude, move there, slay tail, get married, and leave.

I think I'd be miserable in both.

This is consistent with everything I've heard about it.

But how would that compare to Nashville? Do they have the same issues with snobs and cost and yuppies and pan handlers and whatnot?

Lots of towns have that.

I hate Texas with amazing passion but I have never seen a campus/bar scene with that much talent.

None.

Maybe I've been married too long, and I behave myself but when I am on 6th street I am absolutely amazed every time.

I haven't been to Nashville, but I have a hard time thinking of any town I've been to where the people absolutely think they are the height of class whether it's the thugs, hipsters, college students, country club yuppies, or old millionaires.

People in Nashville are mostly pretty friendly, the highest number of beautiful girls that I have ever seen anywhere.
The trick to enjoying Nashville, is to stay away from the tourist stuff.
The real music scene in Nashville isn't down by the river..it's over by 16th avenue, and south of Demonbreun.

I've spent 3 smears and one winter break in Nashville and it's awesome. If I could find a job there I'd be gone in a second.

I've been to Austin twice and it seems like an alright place but nothing that really tickles my pickle

Nashville sucks horse cock. Hipsters and wanna be cowboys everywhere. I swear there are 20 different boot stores on Broad.


Oh and there are hobos errywhere.

The people I know in Nashville are nothing like that. That's the tourist aspect of the city that you realize isn't really the norm once you love there.
