The trend, according to the Tennessean, is to move to the west part of EAST Nashville, as opposed to west nashville. Gallatin Road has heretofore been kind of a dividing line with the upscaling going on to the east and the 'scarier' neighborhoods to the west. It appears that the urban pioneer types are marching to the west - of east nashville.just wanted to set the record straight here.

See? Fiction is so much nicer! Thankfully, I learned long ago that there is no pride in authorship when I write. And since I'm in my 40's, I acknowledge that I don't know anything so really I am wise. Wise enough to make corrections when I'm mistaken, anyway. Thanks for the heads-up groovy guys and groovy gals. :::Kathy T. shuffles away mumbling:::
