Nashville is the first city I have ever loved. I used to work downtown at the Country Music Hall of Fame where this picture was taken. I worked for a company that took pictures of tourists called FotoFX. I drove to work with a smile on my face every day for about 9 months. I never embraced the Country Music "scene" or culture until I worked there and learned the history of it! I was amazed and moved. As I drove to work every day, passing businesses along the way, I noticed that the entire city seemed to thrive on, and revolve around people coming here from all over the world to try and make their dreams come true. It's a city of dreams. People full of visions and goals. You can feel it in the air. The atmosphere is amazingly stimulating. You feel like you can do anything you put your mind to here!
Some do, some don't. I have come to feel it doesn't matter whether you get there or not if you like living in an atmosphere of inspiration.
One of the reasons we moved to Tennessee was to get our children in a place where music and art were encouraged rather than just tolerated. We wanted them to see all kind of possibilities. I think Nashville has been a place of inspiration for all of us.
We miss all of our friends back home in Michigan where we came from....
we miss them a lot. But Nashville is a beautiful place to live. You have to get to know her....not just visit. :o) Nashville is a city of open arms, ready to help you reach for your dreams. Only God knows if you "MAKE IT", or if your particular dreams come true. My plan was to live here. So far I'm doing ok. haha

Sally, I appreciate your description of Nashville; "...a place where music and art were encouraged not just tolerated." When Brook, Jada and I were in Nashville for Jason and Violet's wedding we discussed the life we felt there. We all liked it.
