Z-man Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 I travel to the Nashville area quite frequently for business. The Franklin area is very nice, but real estate is a bit "spendy" in that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIKEBOY Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Bob, my wife is there ALOT for biz. She's been busting on me to go with her someday, for years. Lots of great eats (bars) and music!

Z-man Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) That's the area we are looking into. Very nice area. Brentwood is the neighboring area, and that may be a little less expensive. Edited June 19, 2017 by Z-man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmor Posted June 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Very nice area. Brentwood is the neighboring area, and that may be a little less expensive. Thanks. We've been looking into that area as well. This move is a year away if it happens so we've got a fairly good amount of time to do our homework.

BIKEBOY Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 It's hopping in the Nashville area, that's for sure. Real estate is crazy right now. Good luck with whatever you decide bud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargntmoon Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 I've been there a few times. I liked it, a bit pricey, but not bad. Bowling Green is very nice, about an hour North. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Froelich Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Past couple of years, Nashville has been the IT city. The Pro of this is so many Companies want to have a presence here or call Nashville home. Every day something new is being announced in the Gulch or new Corporation relocating to Williamson County. Really exciting times. The big Con is the growing pains of all the growth. Construction everywhere with the infrastructure struggling to keep up in places. There are better places to live but not many. Lots of water but no beaches. Not much snow but tornadoes. Heat, humidity and hospitality. Anything I can answer for you I will.

Where I live (CT), its quite the opposite - a dying state. As for the beaches, I don't really care for the ocean / beaches so that's fine. Surprisingly, the tornado index there is no worse than where I am. Heat / humidity is not my favorite thing but neither is long, enduring cold, so that's an fair trade for me...esp. since it frees up so much more of the year to do Mustang stuff!

Jerry Froelich Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Nashville is definitely popping. Always something happening. Mustang season depends on your tolerance of rain/cold but March thru November is close to the minimum. Most cruise ins go April thru October. An additional plus is there are beautiful country roads for scenic drives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilmor Posted July 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 My wife and daughter are visiting the Nashville area this weekend while I dog-sit! They absolutely love all they've seen.

Jerry Froelich Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Trust me, they will be the best drivers in Nashville. Glad your family is enjoying themselves. Tell your wife to take the humidity to Connecticut when she returns home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Froelich Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 The rain turns people into NASCAR drivers with high speeds and brake checks or devil's molasses where they must drive 20-30 miles under the speed limit. Mix no fear with all fear and you get rain demolition derby. Just you wait. First time it rains, you will shake your head and say...man these people can't drive.

Maybe it gets worse in August. In any event, being from Florida it'll be familiar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
