It’s moderately expensive. It’s not as expensive as LA, San Fran, or New York, but it’s easily the most expensive city in Tennessee. It’s liberal (for Tennessee), but it’s not Atlanta (which is far more liberal by comparison). It’s population is well-educated, comparatively. The climate is great, actually. It’s got a good airport (but nothing like Atlanta’s from which you can get a direct flight to nearly anywhere). The traffic sux, but it’s not as bad as Atlanta’s (by comparison). It’s got a vibrant music scene. In particular, if you like Country Music, Nashville is that genre’s national capital. The water is good (much better than Atlanta’s, by comparison). The air quality is adequate (a little better than Atlanta’s).

I am not a native. I went to college in Atlanta and have visited Nashville multiple times. That’s the basis of this response. Hope you find it useful.
