If you already live in Nashville, well, then you probably would need more than ten reasons to move far, far away from the city. If you don’t and are thinking about moving TOO Music City, USA? Well, take these thoughts into consideration before schlepping all of your valuables across the country. They may make you laugh, they may make you cry, they’ll definitely make you think.

(We’d recommend the laughter route. Just sayin’.)

  1. First off, the city is so small and stuck in time.

Josh Hunter - Flickr Contemporary? An “It City”? Probably not.

  1. The coffee is downright drab.

Barista Parlor - Facebook You’ll find nary a fancy OR snobby coffee shop in the city. Not one.

  1. It’s only barbecue in Nashville.

Mas Tacos - Facebook That’s it. No other foods, no incredible ethnic eating scene…probably just doesn’t exist.

  1. And naturally the barbecue is just bleh.

Edleys Bar B Que - Facebook Not good, at all. Best leave it for the locals…

  1. There’s really no skyline to speak of.

Thomas Hawk - Flickr What is that? A little blip? A building or two? Nice try, Music City. We know you’re not hiding anything.

  1. There are really no natural areas to speak of.

Michael Hicks - Flickr I mean, what does this place think it is? Radnor Lake or something? Wait a minute…

  1. But really, there’s hardly any nature surrounding Nashville.

2Wheelin - Flickr Tennessee and natural wonder and beauty? I mean, maybe? Maybe. If you look hard enough.

  1. Try to find an incredible canon of American and Civil War history in Nashville.

Alison Groves - Flickr We dare you.

  1. Living in a river city is SUCH a drag.

muffinn - Flickr Those bridges are such an eyesore…

  1. There’s no downtown life to speak of.

Michael Gaylard - Facebook I mean, look at that photo. Basically a ghost town.

So maybe you saw through our lies…? But if not, here’s a solid reason why you SHOULD make Nashville your new home. Because if you ask us? Well, we love it.
