[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I try not to write off any place I've only been once so with that said I wish I never had to go back to Scottsdale, Orlando, Las Vegas, and maybe most of Nashville.

[b]I have no idea how Nashville got to be a trendy city.[/b] It's a gentrified strip of bachelor and bachelorette parties that is accessible unless you have a car and can drive to gentrified boutiques and southern restaurants. It is not remotely walkable, the weather isn't great, and the people who visit are a menace to the actual people who live there.

Internationally I have this far enjoyed most places but obviously the US based conference circuit hasn't taken me to as many mid-size international destinations. There are definitely some I don't think I'd want to spend weeks in but I don't even want to spend hours in Nashville.[/quote]

I grew up in Nashville, and I don't get this either.  Everyone I know from high school and college hates the tourism (which used to be country music based and was mostly of the old Opryland theme park).  When did people start thinking they should wear cowboy boots and hats in Nashville?  It's the South FFS, not Texas.  Also, Nashville hot chicken?  Ninety-eight percent of Nashvilleans never heard of it in the 70s, 80s, 90s.  So funny to me.  East Nashville was about as safe as Southeast in the Marion Berry days.[/quote]
