Oh my god I so am :P

Funnily enough I will be driving through Tenn on the way to AZ but no time to stop anywhere :(

boo! you should leave a day early, obviously :P at least the drive through tennessee is pretty, at least umtil you're a couple hours west of memphis. then it is flat and boring.

ME! I want to come visit!

sceneasfuck June 19 2009, 20:59:28 UTC

come come come! you'll love it!!

omg pink lemonade cupcakes sound so good.
i loooove tn and am planning on moving there, eventually, but to memphis not nashville....although your awesome looking bars might sway that decision a little.

omg, nashvile is far superior to memphis. by like, a thousand. all memphis has is BBQ and overpriced graceland. you can buy elvis merch in nashville, and memphis is only like 3 hours away if you *really* want that BBQ ;)

i don't think i've ever actually been to nashville... my grandparents used to live right outside memphis and i always just loved it there and had an awesome time visiting. and basically anywhere i can live that's cheaper than where i live now is where i want to be.
but i'm a vegetarian so i'm not even going to be able to enjoy the bbq:(

i'm not sure about the price differences between nashville and memphis, but i'm pretty sure that memphis is cheaper. i know the median income is lower. but the south is stupid cheap anyway, especially if you're a-ok with living in trashier areas - there are some parts of nashville where you can rent an entire house for like, $500.

i bet you can just dump some of that delish BBQ sauce on non-meat things! do they use meat products in BBQ sauce? i've never considered that.

OMG yes!!!! Printer's Alley is a MUST!!!!! :D

sceneasfuck June 19 2009, 21:37:27 UTC

sometimes i wish i lived on printer's alley. not because of the nightlife, but because the upper apartments there look like they belong in downtown new orleans, and i think they are beautiful :D

I agree! We walked that area about a month ago when we were in Nashville for our 1-year wedding anniversary. It's such a neat little area! :D

The Parthenon was built as the centerpiece for the 1897 World's Fair. Nashville had the nickname "Athens of the south"

so now ya know.

bunnygoesbang June 19 2009, 22:08:05 UTC

To piggyback, the nickname "Athens of the South" is due to the number of universities in the area.

sceneasfuck June 20 2009, 00:28:55 UTC

i actually knew that ;) i just thought it was funny that they kept it around for so long. apparently they had a bunch of other structures that were built for the fair, but the parthenon was the only one that stuck around.
