Ditto. (Though I mostly grew up a lot farther out in the sticks.) I think what they mean is "the area around Vandy and the recently-gentrified portions of East Nashville are liberalish".
That having been said, the general feel of Nashville has really changed over the past decade.
I used to see it as a "dirty, smelly big city", but it certainly feels more alive now than it used to.
Then again, perhaps a lot of that is the fact that I live somewhere else, and now I go there to visit friends and family.
At any rate, glad to see a pyTN conference springing up!
- atwebb 13y agoI only go across the river to visit friends or go to the tomato fest and Vandy area for McDougals chicken. I live and have lived in the areas people consider solidly red, you'd be surprised how people vote. They just don't wave a moderate or liberal flag like the conservatives do.
- jofer 13y agoGood point. Additionally, a lot of the liberal/conservative divide is actually urban vs. rural. Davidson Co. is certainly mostly urban. I think I just have a skewed perspective of things, as I interact almost entirely with people in the rural parts of TN (which obviously isn't Nashville itself).
