Tourists really do love Nashville, and for good reason. We’re a neat place with a whole lot of personality and character. There are a few things, however, that no amount of online guides (ha) or in-person conversations will be able to clear up completely. Do you agree with the following ten…? Leave your own thoughts below!
- We really have no preference between hot and fried chicken.
Shelby Bell - Flickr They’re both amazing, though many folks think we stick with hot chicken because we started the whole thing.
- Yes, we’ll say hi to you in the grocery store line.
Andrew - Flickr We’re nice people, we’re not being strange. Welcome to the south!
- Our little ones (and our spouses!) will wear orange ’til the cows come home.
Paolo Villanueva - Flickr It’s every Tennesseans favorite color. Ever TRUE Tennessean, that is.
- It’s only the trend millennials and transplants that frequent those expensive coffee shops.
duncan c - Flickr We’re fine with Folgers or a quick trip to Starbucks. Coffee is coffee is coffee, and caffeine is all the same.
- We may be Music City, but OH MAN we’ll complain about that traffic.
Alexandr Trubetskoy - Flickr Thousands of people have made Nashville their new home, and that means our roads have become a bit snarled. We’ll still smile and wave at you though!
- Speaking of our city growth: it’s hard to find a TRUE local.
Valdmir Pustovit - Flickr Speaking from experience, it’s like finding a unicorn. I? Will never be lucky enough. But maybe YOU are!
- Yeah, we’re not yelling after T. Swift.
Paolo Villanueva - Flickr It’s pretty normal to see celebrities on the street, and they actually come here to be left alone. Sooooo. Stop the screaming, okay?
- Coke is all encompassing.
Kanko* - Flickr As in, what kind of coke? Sprite, Dr. Pepper, diet coke? It all works.
- Our men will hold the door open for you - whether you like it or not.
Helgi Halldórsson - Flickr It’s called good old-fashioned manners, and just lovin’ on people.
- We have zero understanding of our weather. ZERO.
Brent Moore - Flickr Mainly because our weather is fickle and fake. We really can’t count on it at all…which is quite a shame.
