I work off Granny White in Brentwood and take it all the way down through 8th if I want to grab a beer after work. Pretty well known route but it's always clear. And the interstate is usually fricked.

I am not being a smartass. 19 miles is basically Marietta from Atlanta. I would much rather live in Marietta than Atlanta. Just like I would want anywhere that is not Nashville.

nashville doesn't have traffic jams all day and into midnight half the time and weekends.
Nashville metro also doesn't have the population of Atlanta metro either (yet). But, as it keeps growing, the infrastructure probably isn't in place to keep up with the growth.

Nashville has pretty much the same interstate system that Atlanta does - one bringing traffic in from the east/west and two bringing it in from the north/south - and several other major non-interstate thoroughfares. As more and more people move into the suburbs, all of those pathways into downtown will get more and more crowded for longer and longer periods of time.

We were last in Nashville in the spring of 2015. Drove in on a Thursday afternoon and 24 was slammed getting into town. Also getting out to Opryland from downtown was slammed on Saturday afternoon - but we were going to the Opry, as was a huge ton of other folks. I can only imagine what that same drive has turned into nearly 4 years later.

Nashville is a great town - I love visiting, and it would be in the top 3 or 5 cities I would choose if I had to relocate - but don't think that as it grows, unless there are major capital expenditures (which can't ever really keep up with population growth), it won't become more and more like Atlanta in terms of quality of life.

splitting hairs but i'll concede the point you're making. my aunt & uncle lived at the 109(?) split between roswell and marietta (near the giant KFC chicken) and its pretty nice there.

Broadway is awful


Locals don't go to Broadway.

That's like seeing Bourbon St. and saying New Orleans sucks.

My buddy just bought two condos in the Gulch like a month ago. One to live in and one to airbnb.

He's loving this news.

eta not sure which location you're at.


I was there for a bit when I worked for a subsidiary, but now I'm in HQ behind Centennial Park and sit by the C-Suite. I sit 100 feet from several guys that make more each week than I make each year.

Its a sobering feeling
