although i am currently biased towards disasters right now (i love my beach!), i still have a heart for them all. especially the sweet city of nashville. i've been only a few times but i've always found a homey feel to it. i've heard horrible things about the flood recently and its unfortunate that the gulf spill has overshadowed its underwater southern treasures.on the radio, i heard amy grant (nashvill dweller) talking about her involvement with flood relief and the arrival of fema. she said the man in charge made a small speech saying that of all the cities fema had been sent to for disaster relief, nashville was the best. while most cities cuss, bad-mouth, and demand help from fema upon arrival, "nashville baked us cookies."
way to represent southern hospitality, nashville! i'm glad at least one southern city can keep its cool during crisis. i know the south has its faults just like any part of the nation, but i am so proud to be southern (most times). we know how to cook, make good music, keep family close, build a dang good front porch, and (hopefully, but not always) show kindness to others. every city should take example from nashville.
