Music City, USA

by Emily Ramsey

Monday’s game did not go over so well.

Not only did anyone play, but my mom broke the rules and googled the answers.

Not only did she google the answers, she posted them in the comments section.

Thanks Mom! Thanks for…not playing….?

It’s ok, I’m seriously just glad someone is reading this. **tap tap** is this thing on?

Anyways, all that to say, I shall now segue into Thursday’s post:

Nashville’s most commonly used nick-name: Music City.

We don’t grow a lot of beans in these here parts, so it’s not for an excess in legume-consumption that we get this mighty fine name. No-siree, we are known as Music City because…well, if I have to explain this in much detail then you probably can’t read anyways. It has something to do with such local landmarks as the Grand Ol’ Opry, CMT, the County Music Hall of Fame, the Ryman Auditorium, and a little historical street housing music publishers, recording studios, and labels we like to call Music Row. Nashville has a habit of making the lesser-known talents into big time headliners. We welcome these headliner-hopefuls from all four corners, but unfortunately, not everyone makes it to the Stage. Still, there is a certain charm and romance here that is served with our famous southern hospitality, so even the ones who don’t find their dreams, usually end up finding their home.
