[QUOTE="Aquarius, post: 1274949, member: 12359"] The winters in Nashville don't seem that bad. No worse than winters in Atlanta or North Texas. My main concern about Nashville is that if it will become another Austin: A clown world ran by non-southern transplants for non-southern transplants with core industries hiring mostly if not almost exclusively non-southern transplants. One that specializes in pricing out young southerners from getting a start and being yet another playground for the liberals taking advantage of the relatively lower cost of living and Tennessee's income tax laws. It is definitely not this bad yet, but its uncomfortably close to getting there. While Nashville is still more southern than any prosperous major city, it is obvious that its attracting an uncomfortably high amount of annoying hipsters and wealthy liberal transplants who obviously look down on the existing native southern culture and the country music which has come to define this city. Today, Nashville is at a crossroads. It should be clear in the next 5-10 years whether it will still identify as a part of Tennessee or not. [/QUOTE]
