Anna Across America - Nashville (A Tour of Tennessee)



Greetings from Nashville...our next stop on a tour of Tennessee cities.  Widely known as Music City USA Nashville is the epicenter of Country music and numerous recording studios which lay down tracks of all musical genres.  Indeed Nashville  is much more than banjos and fiddles.  It is a renowned healthcare center, has outstanding educational institutions, and is a major publishing center.  Long held stereotypes of Nashville's Hee Haw Days have fallen fast as the city has been a model of progressiveness.  Professional sports came calling in the late 1990's when the Houston Oilers of the National Football League relocated here and became the Tennessee Titans as well as the Nashville Predators bringing National Hockey League play to the city.   Some things remains the same though in this truly Southern city:  gravy is a beverage, big hair is always in style, and the citizens are syrupy sweet.  So come to Nashville...the city will "bless your heart".
