I lived in Nashville for about 10 years...

Lived in Donelson ("East Jesus"), Goodlettsville, off Granny White Pike in the Belmont area, 8th Avenue, also in the Sylvan Park area.

The three things I liked most about Nashville, in no particular order:

Nashville Sounds Baseball ( I use to work for the Sounds back when Schmittou owned them and they were affilitated with the Yankees, had a beer with Steinbrenner)

Saturday night stock car races at the old fairgrounds( I use to sell beer at the races, made some pretty good extra cash, when Bobby Allison was in town to race, he'd take some of us to Lucky's after the races for burgers)

Prince's Hot Chicken Shack.

As far as "gun" stuff, back when I lived there it was dismal at best, probably different now. Got run out of there about twenty years ago, it got too expensive, and too tough to hustle a buck. Also, I like country music alright, but the constant drumming, everywhere you go, was mind-numbing.

It's an OK place though.
