Not to harp on but I did look up her comments (I didn’t even know she moved here lol). She was talking about the ‘values’ of living in a neighborly and musician-filled city. Which yeah, is exactly Nashville’s vibe!

Nashville also has a large Black community as well as a huge Queer community, like all cities in the South. We have one of the only lesbian bars left in the country.

We even have a mask block and someone to hit up when you need air purifiers for your Covid-safe events. We have a liberal Jewish mayor. We have Justin Jones representing some of us in the state house, the same Justin Jones that led the nations longest BLM protest.

We have a shockingly large Arab and African immigrant communities. Entire stretches of the city have some of the best global food in the South because of that. We also have a large Palestinian community and support them with marches and actions almost every weekend.

Just wanted to share some more because I love my city. I’ve lived in some truly terrible towns in the area (including Franklin) and Nashville is not one of them💗

I'm very familiar with Nashville, spoken as a native Tennessean and lived/worked in the city and around the city the majority of my life. And I looked up what she said again and it was my bad, she didn't say Nashville, but Tennessee. I just remembered Nashville because a lot of celebs say that's where they're moving but it's not. So I generally never believe anyone is actually in Nashville proper even if they say that's where they're going. Celebs especially mean Franklin and Brentwood areas.

As someone who has watched my home state be flooded with coastal people because they think Cali and New York are too "liberal", I side eye the fuck out of anyone moving here from those places anymore.

That’s a good point for sure.

Edited to add this for context: Lived in the hell hole that is Mt Juliet for the last 7 years and was so happy to move back to Nashville this summer…it’s like night and day. Which is wild considering we lived like less than half a mile over the county line. It REALLY matters where someone actually lives here for sure.

100%! Every area really does have it's own vibe and personality. I live way out in the burbs now in my hometown, and it's been hard living here after living in a really liberal area of a blue state for several years. It's truly a struggle to try and find a group of friends that have the same values as me. Granted, I really don't put myself out there much so a lot of it is on me. I really miss living in a liberal area, but I have such an amazing setup I'd never be able to afford in a city and have so much financial freedom, that it's probably gonna keep me here for ages.
