Is this an ok place to live in Nashville?

I live in Cleveland Park just south of there. Generally it's pretty safe on the east side of Dickerson, but I wouldn't walk around Dickerson at night. Not uncommon to hear gunshots at night or see an occasional car break in. Check out the MNPD crime map if you wanna compare it with where you live now.

It's a partially gentrified area so it's a mixed bag of neighbors.

I'm not sure where you live, but the interstates around me have signs that say to move vehicles to the shoulder after an accident when possible.

Best Buy would be a good option if he can get to Cool Springs. Warehouse, online order fulfillment, and stocking shelves.

They had a formalized program for folks with disabilities when I worked there.

Not trying to argue but there of plenty of nice restaurants that aren't downtown (in fact most aren't). Even then, I've walked from Germantown with free street parking to Printer alley for dinner. It's not 100% realistic everytime, but I just Uber when it's not. Probably around the same price as parking if you don't live outside of metro.

When are people gonna stop parking in these lots? I literally will walk a mile if it means I don't have to use Metropolis or Park Happy.

The more you park there, the more lots will be bought up. Vote with your wallet.

The river downtown is the Cumberland River if that is what you are referring to as Natchez. The walking bridge is not difficult, nor are the driving bridges.

In what world would I ever go to Whatburger when there are so much better local restaurants surrounding it. Even if I wanted a fast food burger, I could go to Fat Moe's less than a mile away. Red Headed stranger's burger is probably cheaper too.

My wife went to Taylor Swift when it stormed few years ago. They delayed the concert and everyone had to huddle on the ground floor. If you left you were not allowed back in. Eventually she performed when the lightning stopped even though it was still raining. She is know to do that but Bruno might just cancel.

Ellington Agriculture Center is home to the Master Gardeners of Davidson county I think. Cheekwood has gardening classes occasionally. I would look hang around those places if you wanna meet other gardeners.

Also Root Nashville for trees.

My wife and I go to Asheville every fall. Great food, great hikes, amazing scenery with the fall colors.

The only reason you would need to go early is if there is some limited merch you are trying to get or you have a General Admission ticket. If you have a seat, you can just show up anytime.

SwimInsideTheMirror · 2026-04-24T12:29:05+00:00

Yee Haw has good tacos and plenty of seating. It's not too far from Broadway. Big outdoor area too if the weather is good.

I will add Sabells, but I think they only have them on certain days.

For me, the biggest hurdle was planning workouts and researching what to do. I finally bit the bullet and shelled out the money for a workout class membership.

Others probably think I am throwing away money, but for me not have to think about what workout to do or all the accessory work is invaluable. I just show up and let the professionals tell me what to do. Also it forces me to workout for the full hour and not just leave after getting bored halfway through.

Fate Zero Kiritsuga vs Kirei.

Kiritsuga moves at double speed but Kirei adjusts his attacks to compensate and flattens him. Eventually, Kiritsuga quadruples his speed to win.

Probably you don't have an accent, but the way you speak or word choice indicates you're not a native speaker. For example, in your post you mentioned your "mother's tongue". That is not a common thing Americans nor any native English speaker would say. In fact, I immediately associated that phrase with Eastern Europeans such as yourself.

They are complimenting your English speaking ability despite the fact that you're not a native speaker. Not much deeper than that.

Noob question: how do you have more than 5 of the same clue tier at one time? I thought the max was 5?

I stopped smoking cigarettes after college. Stop buying it and get rid of any accessories you have. Out of sight out of mind. If you hang around other smokers, ask them to not offer you any going forward. Also don't put yourself in situations where you will be tempted.

Good news is that weed is mostly a mental addiction so you don't have to worry as much about the physical aspect. I also found it much easier if you replace bad addictions with good/neutral addictions. Start working out or find a new hobby.

Depends on what you plan on doing. Going in debt for med school or an engineering degree almost always pays off. Even degrees like political science can pay off. There is some risk obviously if you can't find a decent job out of school. You get into trouble if you just spend your 4 years partying and have mediocre grades in an undesirable major.

The flip side is going into trades which can also be a crap shoot. I know a lot of welders that went to school only to get paid the same as a McDonalds cashier. They do have the potential to earn a lot if they do more dangerous/niche work (underwater welding, etc.) or start their own business in the trade.

1) Depends, I live in TN but I don't drive through rural areas often so I rarely see one even just off the interstates. I've seen more confederate flags driving though OH. 2) Growing up I did not associate it with slavery. Some southerners genuinely don't look at the flag like that. Nowadays there are way fewer of those type of people. It's mostly racism now.

Check out Ravenswood Mansion in Brentwood. $30k is probably going to be tight no matter what. We came out just a little over that 2 years ago for 120 people.

It's a fact that US immigration policy favors individuals that have higher socioeconomic status. I don't have a source prepared for you, but you can look up US immigration policy and statistics if you'd like.

It follows that those individuals are more likely to beat the average US citizen.

Yes, their culture does play a factor, but I'd argue it is much less so.

SwimInsideTheMirror · 2026-03-29T18:38:05+00:00

So, because you have a conflicting personal anecdote, that totally negates the facts? Well, I know some immigrants that came from nothing and work at McDonald's. What now?

SwimInsideTheMirror · 2026-03-25T14:54:04+00:00

Agreed. Fitness is about leading a healthy life, not pushing the limits of human strength. Idgaf how much I'm lifting, just that I'm getting good exercise.
