Here’s the thing: finding a true Nashvillian is like finding a unicorn nowadways. We have folks from all over the place who claim to be from Music City, but the natives know it right. Since I don’t have the pleasure of being a natural Tennessean myself (dang it), it was completely necessary to chat with a couple born and bred Rocky Top folk. Here are the eleven things only real Nashvillians would do.
- They’ve gone above and beyond to help a stranger.
Bethan - Flickr
