I moved to Nashville 8 years ago having lived in southern California, northern Arizona and, most recently, DC. No regrets, in fact, Hubby and I are extremely happy here.

We've had no unpleasantness with the North/South cultural differences. I like the, sadly diminishing, Southerness of the area. There's a sweetness here. The city is vibrant and rich with culture, color and beautiful parks. Minutes from town we have beautful forests, farmland and lakes.

Come visit!

(I'll try to find a link to the recent study ranking Nashville as #1 place to live.)

We plan on visiting Nashville. My sister in-law didn't like the part of Tenn that she lived in. (I don't think it was Nashville). She said it was too humid there. But you have to listen to the opinions of others, but then still experience it yourself. Is it stifling in Nashville in the summer?

Any lakes large enough to wind surf on near Nashvile? I'm a surfer and it will be hard to give up all water activities.

My father moved us from the north to South Carolina when I was a boy. We lived on an island near Charleston. I fished and swam in the tidal rivers every day in the summer. Great place for a boy to grow up. So I'm used to being a Yankee in the south. I'm kind of a southern boy at heart. We just got back from a trip to Virginia and my family got to see and hear some of the Southern hospitality. That is another world from California. We'll visit for sure if we decide to go-for-it.
