Silly Nashvillians

Memo to East Nashville--

You want to live in an urban environment. You're disdainful of the suburban Brentwood soccer moms.. you like to think of yourself as hardened city dwellers. "My house has a fire escape on it," you think to yourself. You're tougher than the average pansie Nashvillian. Plus, the coffee shops are better.

Well, I've got news for you: living in a city means living with noise. It means living with planes flying over your heads.

You don't want to live under a flight path? Move to Lebanon. We can't keep the planes flying over impoverish, swarthy Antioch forever. And hey, I lived in Antioch for 8 years, with planes flying over 7 and 8 times a day. I know how it is. And I know how it is to tune that kind of white city noise out.

East Nashville, being urban is about more than funky cafes and rot-iron encircled herb gardens. It's time to put on your big-city britches... Then again, there are plenty of good homes available in Lebanon.
