What Exactly Is Nashvillest, Anyway?

The short answer: Nashvillest is for you.

The long answer: Nashvillest is for you, too.

In Nashville, we have it great. We’re a stone’s throw from Memphis, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Atlanta, Asheville, Birmingham, Indianapolis, Louisville, Cincinnati, St. Louis, even Chicago. We live in a vibrant and diverse city with no shortage of dining and entertainment options. Our city is rich with historical significance and quirky landmarks. Here at Nashvillest, we’re aiming high – We’re giving Nashville the respect it deserves. We’re more than just a city with deep country music roots – We’re bloggers, geeks, hipsters, zombies, sports fiends, actors, agriculturists, history buffs, artists, art enthusiasts, animal lovers, coffee drinkers, concertgoers, activists, parents, students, outdoor adventurers, marathon runners, music lovers, photographers, sushi eaters – and of course, musicians and tourists. And more.

Nashvillest is here to bridge the gap. Yes, we’ll be at the Twitter meetup (we’re huge Twitter geeks), but we’ll also be at the Sounds game and at Movies In The Park with our friends. We’ll also try the new Krayp Kafe and maybe swing by Fat Straw or Gigi’s Cupcakes for dessert, so we can give you a heads up on what to expect. And we’re going to let you know when everything happens, because we died a little inside when we heard about the presidential candidates coming to town… after they were gone. Our mission is to never let that happen again.

We told you we were aiming high.

Want to help? Nashvillest welcomes guest bloggers with open arms (we’re talking giant bear hugs, here). Right now, Nashvillest is just two people taking on a big task and hoping that Nashvillians will share with us along the way. We’re especially in need of good sports and food/drink coverage. Send submissions, questions, comments and complaints to tips@nashvillest.com. If you have an idea, we want to hear it!

Because we mean it when we say that Nashvillest is here for you.

    Hmm I don't know that I'd say we're a “stone's throw” from Chicago. I'm from there and have made the 8-hour trip countless times since I've lived in Middle Tennessee, and it definitely does not feel close. Maybe “a boulder's roll” or something would be more accurate? Or, “WTF? Why didn't I just fly?”

    :)

    p.s. I love all the pictures you find/link to on here. Keep it up!

    would like to know about dreadlocked people before moving there from hip california. any such thing? would i fit in?

  • http://nashvillest.com Christy Frink

    There are plenty of dreadlocked folks here in Nashville, though it's probably not quite as big as it is in “hip California.” ;) You'd probably love the feel of East Nashville… there's a pretty good description of it here: http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2008/aug/24/in-eas…

    Ok, you've been here awhile, but I just found you… so YAY! Welcome! :)

  • Abbie

    This site is great! Keep up the great work!

    BUT you didn't know about the presidential candidates coming to town? As a Belmont student during the time of Debate '08, I find that almost impossible to believe. It makes me die a little inside that you guys didn't know until after… mainly because it means you must not be paying attention to Belmont happenings at all. “Debate '08″ was printed on our parking permits, for crying out loud. Perhaps you need a BU contact keeping you in the know…

    This was long before Debate '08 ;)

    Ohhhh. Right. :)
