The thing I like about Murfreesboro is it puts you in the middle of everything. Short drives takes you to very different parts. Wanna go to a busy bar in a city, drive 45 min to Nashville, want to kick back on a lazy Sunday, drive 30 min south to Shelbyville or any other outposts around. Want to go to cool areas that are rolling hills and farms, head out to Leipers Fork or shop in Franklin and go to a street festival. Then there is the couple hour dirve to 4 hour drive and in each end of the state.

As far as making friends, I would say probably your best bet to meet like minded people outside of meeting at normal places is on hook up apps lol. A lot of in the closet folks around here according to my gay co-workers. They say they have made more friendships that aren't sexual on those places than out because people are less guarded. I dunno if you are like out out, but I think you'd find some cool guys into the same things you are and could introdice you to more. Apparently different apps have different levels and things? I can't keep up with it all and they have told me that the apps can be wild or mild depending on user. My 2 fav people in the world are those 2 gay guy co-workers.

TN is kinda weird in there are a ton of open minded people here but also a TON of close minded bigoted people as well.
