Why I Want To Go To Nashville

In 1860 when “the McGavock and Mt. Vernon Horse Railroad Company and the South Nashville Street Railroad Company were chartered and used steam and mules to power rail cars to give Nashville its first taste of public transportation. On April 30, 1889, the McGavock and Mt. Vernon Horse Railroad Company operated the first electric streetcar in Nashville, and the city became one of the first in the nation to have such "modern" transportation.” (History of Transit in Nashville)

“Nashville” by Tiana Clark was published in 2017 and details the experience of a black women through first person during present time and how her life as a black woman relates back strongly to the civil rights movement of the 1960’s. The speaker is a woman who is married to a white man and that is chasing someone who said a racial slur to her on the streets. She talks about how the civil rights movement happened and how it changed but how history repeats itself in a way that racism is still around today. The poem ends with her trying to come with peace with finding out who said the racial slur so she can get over it and move on. Racism has been around a long time. This poem in a deeper sense is about death of innocent people and

Robert Altman’s movie Nashville is based on the political, social, and personal problems that our country has to deal with. These problems are rooted in the battle between the need to create some false image of success and the need for truth which is the struggle that exists in every character of this film (except Jeff Goldbloom). To show this Robert Altman takes us through Nashville’s Country Music using political commentary, music and realistically portrayed dialogue to tell the story.

Country music as a whole has developed from hillbilly boogie, to honky tonk, to what we commonly hear on the radio today as Nashville sound, or country pop. The honky tonk

For me, returning to Nashville has been a long-term goal. In 2010, I left my small hometown in Alabama to attend The Conservatory of Recording Arts and Sciences in Phoenix, Arizona. During my time there, I became proficient in the technical and business aspects of the recording industry. After completing my studies, I secured an internship at Blackbird Studio in Berry Hill, Tennessee. Months of training and hands-on experience at Blackbird culminated in a decision to settle in the city. Coming to this conclusion was easy. I saw the well-oiled machine that was Nashville’s music industry; I also saw that other cities with comparable industries lacked the hometown feel and Southern hospitality that Tennessee provided. Nashville was the obvious

Country music originated in the south of the United States, but it popular worldwide. It has become so popular because almost everyone can relate to the messages the songs send out. Traditional country music touches every generation of listeners. Although styles change all country music thirty years ago succeeds in still bringing its audiences home because of its entertainment, unique story-telling, and distinctive musical arrangements.

It was August 11th 2015. We were all tired from the long car ride. The temperature was different from Cincinnati, it felt hotter in downtown Nashville. You could see people everywhere, going in and out of stores and bars. Even though I was exhausted this place was pretty cool. I could hear bands playing everywhere and everywhere you looked there were country stores and people that were dressed in all country

After visiting Nashville earlier this year, I was finally able to get my head around the concept of ‘Music City.’ How is it that one place can hold so much talent and music, and why do so many of our favorite musicians move there to make it big (I’m talking about you Taylor Swift)? Whether you’ve heard Nash referred to as the LA of the South, a big old country town, or the birth place of some of the greatest country music ever written, the fact is it ticks all these boxes and more. Here are the Top Five Reasons Nashville is Music City.

Chicago has something for everyone; on the other hand Nashville has a more limited audience. Nashville comes alive at night, as you walk down the street country music floods out of every door. It is a wonderful experience if you love country music, but if you are under 18 there are only a few places you can actually go into and hear the music. In Music City the main attractions are The Grand Ole Opry, The Country Music Hall of Fame, and Ryman Auditorium. While all of these are great to see they cannot be fully appreciated if you do not have a love for music. However in Chicago there is Wrigley Field for sports fans, plenty of stores for shopaholics, neat little restaurants for foodies, plenty of architectural marvels, and Lake Michigan for

I will love to go to Ithaca. It all around looks great and looks like a good time to be there. On my trip, I will go sailing, boat rides, and maybe even skydiving. It would be way more fun to go with a friend but I will not pay for any of their stuff. It looks like a wonderful place to be and live in and I can’t wait to
