Nashville Scene's You Are So Nashville If...
For the 19th straight year, Nashville Scene has polled its readers and asked what kind of city Nashville is. The results are in: "A city where English is the native tongue, not that you can always recognize it. A city where strip clubs and churches rub shoulders and whatnot, and you can find 'em both if you turn left at Shoney's. A city where the yellow light means go, and the red light means go faster...."
