NASHVILLE ONE OF BEST CITIES TO LIVE AND PLAY

If you finish off a 25-mile bike trek on the Natchez Trace with lunch at Puckett’s or the Loveless Cafe, than you’re already hip to this. Today’s Nashville City Paper points us to the news that Nashville is the second best city to live and play in, according to National Geographic Adventure’s 2007 top 50 adventure towns, state-by-state. Second only to Chicago, the magazine says “Music City flexes its multisport cred in 10,500 acres (4,249 hectares) of urban parks, while down-home city life plays out at Nashville’s 2,000-plus eateries, honky-tonks, and Tennessee Titans NFL games (a hotter ticket than the Grand Ole Opry).”
