Hello, Nashville...




We're not friends.

No, really. I'm serious. We're not friends, and I'm not impressed. You're like that girl in high school that everyone says is awesome and so popular, and I just don't get it I don't see what they see. So, for now, and I'm just being authentic here... We're not friends.

I promise, I'll try. And, honestly, I haven't given you a fair shot since I've never crossed into the Nashville city limits...I will. I promise. But south Nashville...sigh. It's just ok. There's nothing grandiose or amazing. Parts are pretty. I see that. But mostly, I think you might be full of hype. Which is funny because everyone I tell says, "oh, I LOVE Nashville!!" Or they at least know "someone who lives there" and they "love it." What? What is it they love?

I'm going to pretend I like you for now. LIKE YOU. Like I like eggs. They're good for me. I crave them sometimes. But mostly, they require some serious accoutrements to make them palatable anytime before 1am at a Waffle House after one too many drinks. And even then, I'm there for the hashbrowns... Scattered, smothered, and covered.  

Just so we're clear... We're not friends.
