[quote name='neudog']You can come live in Clarksville and commute 45 minutes to Nashville
Seriously though, when I get to Nashville I really like the Brentwood and Madison areas.[/QUOTE]
Clarksville? No, I live there, I wouldn't suggest it to anyone. In fact, I'm moving out in a few months.
Honestly..if there's ever a definition of a hick town, it's Clarksville. If he wants any sort of good job, he'll be doing 50 minute drives everyday. And it's truly frustrating that in Clarksville everything is truly within walking distance, yet because of the way the "city" is set up, you HAVE to drive.
And besides, the life is horrible: one mall, two..three maybe good restaurants, little to no stores other than Wal-Mart, WAY TOO MANY ARMY PEOPLE, and the only nightlife is line dancing and white trash dive bars.
Top that, the people are either dead stupid or way too judgemental, there's too much rape, too much robbery, quite a bit of racism, and if he plans on living as a "CAG", he won't be able to do it here..one Target with no clearances, a horrible Best Buy, a really small Circuit City, and Wal-Marts that only marks down electronics when they have to [every 2 years..] Other than that, there's Gamestop/EB, Rhino [OVER EXPENSIVE] and CD Warehouse [yay, 10 copies of NBA 2K3 and bootleg anime!]
Nashville, would be a much better choice...much nicer than Clarksville, much more options in pretty much everything, three HUGE universities, tons of jobs, tons of restaurants, lots of arts/events, and good shipping. But still, real estate just isn't worth it in TN...overinflated.
