re: Paging Tennessee fans: Looking for recommendations of good towns in Tennessee

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
