Another Year, Another Fat Report [Mixed Reviews By People Who Don't Live Here]

Man Up, USA! [Mixed Reviews By People Who Don't Live Here]
The internets were buzzing last week with the news that Nashville had been dubbed America’s Manliest City… As in, #1 Manliest City In The Entire United States. After spending several years on Belmont University’s campus, we find that pretty hard to believe, but hey! Whatever works. NASCAR-lovin’, BBQ-eatin’, monster-truck-rally-goin’, huntin’-n-fishin’ Nashvillians represent! Thanks to all of [...]
