Franklin. End of discussion
Sadly, Franklin is slowly slipping away. It's expected given Middle Tennessee's growth, but what used to be a quiet, easy going town a mere 20-minute drive from Nashville has turned into an overcrowded, overdeveloped, and (downtown) tourist attraction that's now a 45-minute+ drive from Nashville.
Downtown Franklin, albeit crowded, will always maintain its charm. However, once scenic areas have now been developed into subdivision "complexes" (Westhaven, Carlisle, etc) to house transplants and furthering the glut of Williamson County.

Lived there 26 years and you are so right. Still a neat town just not so little and quaint anymore.

Born and raised in Nashville and a current resident. The growth was fun at first but I think the general sentiment now is that most people are tired of it. They're tearing down everything that makes Nashville unique and replacing them with cookie cutter apartments, glass skyscrapers, and country music bars. Throwing money at developers to come build in high demand areas doesnt make much sense to me. Too crowded, too much traffic, and too many people whose values dont match up with the traditional values of the area. Im only 26 but I sound like Abe Simpson.
The failure of the transit plan summed up the old vs new Nashville dichotomy pretty well
