Weighing the pros & cons

blog

Nashville: The GOOD
• Rosepepper Cantina and their delish margaritas
• The full-scale replica of the Parthenon (we are the Athens of the South)
• Gentlemen who hold the door

Nashville: The BAD
• Too many guys in stove-pipe jeans and vests and weird almost-rat-tail hair
• The Tennessee GOP’s video attacking Michelle Obama
• Seen on a church billboard: “God answers knee-mail”

    1) “knee-mail”? That doesn’t make any sense to me at all?

    2) Rose Pepper Cantina makes a strong case for Nashville, I must concur. Neeeeeed chips and salsaaaaa.

    Pros:
    Alley Cat’s Fried Avocado
    Friends who sit with you on porches
    You can buy a new wig and get shiny rims in the same parking lot (but only in E. Nash)

    Cons:
    Humidity in the summer
    Not enough ethnic restaurants
    Racism is alive and well

    Sorry, Annie, but I saw the knee-mail thing on a bumper sticker just yesterday in your much-loved SEATTLE!

    Seattle has rat-tail boys and talks about knee-mail, too? What is this world coming to…

    Debbie, I MUST try that fried avocado. Can we go? Also, how how HOW am I going to make it through the humid summer?

    Greta just sent me an email that said that she’s sending me mental margaritas. haha… So Christina, I am passing them along to you!

    you’re on – we will go very soon. And they have decent margaritas. It will be our be our new happy place.

    And summer? We will have crappy hair but GREAT supple skin. It’s all about the silver lining.

    FYI: Nashville was noted as one of the cool places for music in the current issue of Nylon.

    I think that might be a big “PRO” there for ya!
