In spite of the loathsome source, the list of the top 30 least religious cities confirms everything about liberalism. The top four are confirmed leftist cesspools:

  1. Portland, OR
  2. San Francisco, CA
  3. Seattle, WA
  4. Denver, CO
Click through to see the rest along with a picture of the city skyline.

I remember Hickory Hollow Mall plans floating around the engineering office I was a co-op student at, c. 1980. I may have even put some ink on Mylar on them.

Lindsay was riddled with STDs?

So the Republican (RINO?) made the runoff for Nashville Mayor eh? That’s good.

” if we had the same property/acreage elsewhere in town, it would be worth 3 to 5 times more and 10 times outside the county”

Ah, that totally sucks. I feel your pain, if my dad had bought what my mom wanted to buy instead of what he did.....

Shoot out with the fuzz right across the street? Wow. Cows as late as the 90’s? Double wow.

Re: Least religious cities, what’s the criteria? There are oodles of Churches here in Chi, I’m within walking distance of several.

No surprise at all in that list. The states lIsted have significantly higher crimes rates and are places where riots have occurred. No need to mention demographics.

That’s probably about 40 percent of the population of the country.

I liked your comment on Dallas. The same could be said about Pittsburgh. Within half a mile radius of our home, there are five churchs; only one is small (Baptist), three are average to larger than average size, one is a mega-church which hosts our voting precinct.

Yeah, I know what you’re referring to but I also wonder if some of those “storefronts” aren’t really just fronts for businesses masquerading as churches for the purpose of evading taxes, etc.

Yeah that happens too. Plenty of storefront “mosques” that are about tax evasion as well.

Phoenix has huge churches on every corner, it seems - not sure what this article’s methodology is.

Back in the mid 1980s, we were visiting Nashville downtown when I noticed a blood trail on the sidewalk. As we visited the few tourist souvenir shops we followed the blood trail for several blocks. You could see where the person bleeding had stopped to wait for the traffic light. Drip, drip, drip.

Never been downtown since.

Yes a liberal Jew who likely never steps foot in temple

critiquing Christian adherence like he cares

I make no apologies

Liberal Jews attack my faith or culture like many many do and I push back

If that’s anti Semitism to you then you got issues Or a watery version of what’s anti Semitism

The days of any minority freely allowed to attack my heritage and get a slavery or holocaust or coolie or alamo losers get out of jail free pass from me simply because they are some non white or non christian minority

Ended for me long ago

You scratch the surface of the sorts who write on HuffPo and you get where they are really coming from

About 20% the churches like nashville

But this article is an intentional Huffpo slam

I would say I was on the cusp between the Nashville of old and that of the new.

That was some really great information, fieldmarshaldj, and helped me to really catch up on the ol' hometown. As I said most of my friends still up there are now out of the county and therefore don't stay as current on things as you.

Since Antioch made the national news last week, it led me to recall the last occasion I spent any significant amount of time there. It was around this time of year in 1978 when I was visiting friends in the Tusculum area. During those weeks of my summer vacation, we ventured over to the then-new Hickory Hollow Mall and saw a first-run of Animal House at the showroom-fresh movie house there. It was so new that the smell of paint was mixed with the aroma of popcorn. We then headed over to the nearby Bar-B-Cutie afterwards. That snapshot is as vivid as yesterday's memory in my mind but it's been over 37 years ago. And it's why the decline of the Southeast part of Davidson County is particularly dismaying. It really did used to be a nice area.

Johnnie slept around. Florence Henderson, one of his conquests, confirmed he was STD riddled because he gave her a “gift” of such. Of course he was married. I don’t think she’d make that up.

Yup, David Fox is the candidate (a Jewish Republican). He doesn’t really want to touch social issues at all and wants to focus exclusively on fiscal ones (though that tends to violate one of DJ’s maxims that you can’t be socially left and a fiscal con.). He’s rightfully concerned that his ultraleft opponent is going to scare the business community and she also wants to focus on the social degenerate agenda of hers.
