Nashville Is 25th Largest City In U.S. (We Win)

This is no mixed review – Nashville just beat out reigning champion Washington D.C. as the 25th most populated city in the United States. Memphis is ranked 18th largest, but it seems that their population is actually shrinking each year. We’ll catch ‘em someday. But for now, we have high hopes for what this new recognition will encourage in urban development. 

Also notable – Nashville businesses are making up for lost time with the American Heart Association. Six local companies were named to the 2008 Fit-Friendly Companies list. If you remember a few weeks back when we were graced with the honor of least heart-friendly city for women by the good ol’ American Heart Association, you’ll understand why we’re patting ourselves on the back with this one.

    [...] Good morning, Nashville. Davidson County has become a hotspot for rooting out and arresting undocumented immigrants, but whenever we arrest them, we have to ship them out to the closest federal immigration court all the way in Memphis. Sheriff Daron Hall is hoping to fix that by flying out to DC to ask the feds to give us an immigration court of our own, explaining that “Nashville is processing more [immigrants] than any other city, other than California and Phoenix, Arizona.” Wonder where California falls on the list of America’s 25 largest cities.
