Nashville, TN

Nashville is a sacred city for country music pilgrims and a goofy playground for the curiously amused. "Tacksville," as it is affectionately nicknamed, is defined by the Grand Ole Opry and the Country Music Hall of Fame, but it also has a genuine collection of honky-tonk bars, rattlesnake boot dealers, and rousing Sunday gospel masses. Very much alive beneath the rhinestones and hairspray lies a historic city that has led Tennessee through its American journey since 1779. Civil war battlefields and plantation homes cover the countryside, and farms surround the music industry powerhouse. Despite its "Nash-Vegas" image, the city sees itself as a cultured "Athens of the South" which is why they built a replica of the Parthenon.
