LOL - I hadn't thought of that! The building was originally constructed for Bell South, but everyone referred to it as the "Bat Building".
OK, in the spirit of full disclosure:
1. Expect about two miserably cold weeks a year each winter, with wind chills in the -20 range. And one year when I was there, they had a brutal ice storm that knocked out my power for 2 days.
Actually our winters aren't bad at all compared to most places.
2. Find out what year the cicadas will be hatching (I think it's every 9 years or so) and WAIT until the season is over to move to Nashville. I lived through one cycle and thought I would go *insane* from the chirping. It's so loud, you can hear it inside. GAAAAA! :zombie:
I like the cicadas...and that's anywhere in the south.
3. Whatever type of musical event you attend -- country, rock, classical, etc. -- someone will always request "Freebird."
Freebird is an American anthem, what do you expect?
4. No liquor sales on Sundays.
That's a little of the conservatism that I spoke about, but that's not a bad thing at all.
5. Some of the streets wind around and change names. Unless you have a good GPS system, expect to get completely, hopelessly lost at least once.
That goes for any large city that a person is new to.
6. Stopping at red lights and using turn signals are considered optional.
I believe this can be applied anywhere these days.
7. If there is a *hint* of three snowflakes in the forecast, expect your local Kroger to look like a freaking war zone.
It's like this anywhere in the south...people panic at the first sign of snow.
8. Tornadoes. (OK, only ONE bad one during my 10 years there...but that was enough).
Middle Tennessee is flat, so it's more prone to tornadoes for sure.
Still, I would go back...just not during cicada season.
