U are such a cutie!!!

XPLR.NASH Donelson!

Marge Paz, that’s one of our favorite neighborhoods.

East Nashville, not just one part, I was born and raised there, I've been blessed with so many wonderful memories there, from Shelby park to Cedar hill park, Dickerson Rd( North first) in, to Gallatin Rd, Madison, Old Hickory, Bellshire,and Inglewood, I am very proud to be from East Nashville, thanks for sharing the video.

@@garywest2645 Thanks so much for watching!! East Nashville has so much to offer and constantly growing!

Thanks so much for watching! We're glad you liked it!

We appreciate you watching them!

Thank you so much. Whats your favorite neighborhood in Nashville?

Thanks so much!! We really appreciate you!!

Much appreciated! Thank you for watching!!!

Awesome thank you so much, whats been your favorite video thus far?

XPLR.NASH For now, I would say that this has been my favorite one. I only have watched a few videos bc I am new in this channel. ☺ I also liked the christmas video in Nashville.

@@jonathanwalker9916 We definitely liked making the Christmas video. We're glad you liked it too! Thanks for tuning in man. It means the world to us!!

That content is coming soon.

@@XPLRNASH How do you like the winters? There are cities and towns in Canada that historically enjoy warmer winters than Nashville - as defined by a warmer average winter temperature (December, January, and February). If you dig a little bit deeper, you'll discover the source for the information (below) is NOAA (a US government agency!). So please copy/paste the following google searches (specifically Google’s search engine!). And don't forget to factor in the ultra-mild Canadian winter nights. 1. Nashville, Tennessee average winter temperatures 2. Race Rocks, Canada average winter temperatures Are you surprised by the fact the winters are warmer in Race Rocks, Canada than Nashville, TN?

Thank you!!!

That’s not a bad line at all.

We are hoping to cover Brentwood eventually, but have a lot of ground to cover before we get there. Feel free to message us on Instagram with any specific questions and we will be happy to help!

Yeah Brentwood crooked politics, crooked police oh yeah high class drugs !!!!

Brentwood and Franklin are both awesome, safe, and within 20 minutes.

Leiper's Fork is a great place. We hope you are enjoying it out there! Hopefully you won't have to move too many more times. But cheers to your pursuit and I hope Leiper's Fork sticks!

The Harpeth River is such a nice thing to have in Nashville. Perfect for rafting!

I live here in "Sullivan" Park....which all of us in Nashville call SYLVAN Park:))). "Best" is all relative. Just depends on what kind of neighborhood you want to be in. Make sure you do your homework thoroughly. Good luck with the move.

Traffic nightmare. Over built/ taxes.

Green Hills is THE BEST!

Get ready to sit in traffic everyday of your life. Hillsboro rd is too small and cant expand yet Green Hills has grown quadruple. Im from Nashville and you couldn't give me a free house in that area. Well you could but I would sell it.Point is the traffic is too extreme,,all the time.

@@newclothes8165 I guess I'll have to do some more research. Thanks.

Thank you so much. Do you have a favorite area of Nashville?

@@XPLRNASH I've actually never been to Nashville, so I'm just trying to learn about the area before visiting.

@@johnsack7903 when are you coming to town?

@@XPLRNASH no clue on specific wknd but it would be in the fall, November.

@@johnsack7903 thats a great time to come.

Yes, absolutely more in depth content coming soon.

Those will be covered in the episode white flight in Nashville. Tips on speaking southern style Ethiopian, Somali and Spanish will be included.

We had an episode of our podcast dedicated to the parent comment of this thread that aired several weeks ago.

Thank you. Make sure to check out all of our other videos about the city of Nashville. We have videos about parks, what to eat and much more.

Next time you are in Nashville check out Oscars Taco Shop, because California based restaurant in Nashville.

Thank you!!

Somewhere between getting stabbed in Memphis and most likely not in Nashville.

3 hour drive

200 miles

Most of Sobro is very safe and walkable.

Both of those are great questions. For most healthy eating options we would recommend The Gulch, or East Nashville. Franklin, Tennessee is going to be the best place to raise children. The reason for that is they have some of the best schools in the country and Franklin is the perfect area for middle class residents.

Skiroy; You also have Donelson, Hendersonville, Goodlettsville, Bellevue, Bellemeade, Green Hills, Nolensville. Check those Neighborhoods out to see if You like it.

Dont move there it is the hood.

More neighborhood videos are coming! DM on Instagram if you want more information that we can provide to you!

East Nashville is rough around the edges. Newer upcoming areas are The Nations, Houston-Wedgewood, 8th South.

I have lived in Nashville for more than thirty years. It's hard for me to believe how much it's grown. But then again, I'm not surprised. It is truly a wonderful city. There are good parts of town, and bad parts of town. Just remember to look before you leap.

@@tomhamilton3831 Great advice.

All day in a lot of these places, especially 12th south

Yes, we realized Stuart was saying it that way, during the editing.

That's all I wanted to say

Say you are not a local without saying you are not a local.

Best comment yet

Yes we know. When we say Nashville, we are talking about Nashville proper

We will most definitely be getting to Antioch during our Tour Around Nashville series. The Reeves mansion sounds like some good history to get into!

@@XPLRNASH I used to work with a man who was 80 in 1986. He had friends that lived there in that mansion but not sure if they were Reeves or not. He told me of them playing in the attic as kids and discovered a wall that looked suspicious. They managed to pry open the wall and they found Civil war uniforms on like busts any way other items were in that room also ( sword. ) boots and other things. My friend passed and i didnt at the time realize the importance of what he knew but maybe you can resolve some of its history. I grew up 1 half a mile from there it was always cool to me and a confederate grave yard behind the house !!! Thank you very mucj

Antioch was a nice area until the late 90s early 2000s. It had Hickory hollow mall which was the best mall in middle Tennessee and quiet clean neighborhoods. Unfortunately white flight happened as with many areas across the nation. Antioch was hardest hit by Mexicans and Somalis. At the same time for reasons still unknown to man thousands of hipster transplants started pouring into east nashville. Once the transplants arrived and had set up shop many of the blacks moved from east Nashville and into Antioch where housing had become affordable for the first time. Hickory hollow mall like many other Antioch businesses where whites left fell into despair while the areas that whites moved into gained property value.

@@tray-oq1nj what are you trying to say

@@joshuaram100 the truth.

The one on Eighth Ave.

XPLR.NASH thank you!

Nobody in Nashville eats at Hattie B that for tourist only... it's a sin for people from Nashville to eat there

Hattie B’s is just ok, too salty, mostly tourists.

Hey Peter! Thank you for taking the time to watch our content! If you have any questions about Nashville or about the music industry please ask us :) If there are any questions we can answer we will most certainly try! Message us on our Instagram page @xplr.nash and let's get connected!

That's one of Nashville's best features and the reason many have moved here!

Yes, its a very friendly and hospitable city. Where in Europe are moving from?

Let's hope the new Nashville brings us some good as well!

I know!!! I think it's hilarious that all these hip people are moving here. I was here when it wasn't cool so it's just funny to see all the change!

Any change that has stood out to you since you've moved here?

@@XPLRNASH Nashville used to feel like a small town back in 2001 when I moved here. Quiet, families, cowboy boots and traditional country music downtown, not a lot of construction and batman building was the highest high rise. Now it's Nashvegas, drunks everywhere, rooftop bars and pedal taverns full of crazy drunk bachelorette parties, high rises and construction everywhere.

@@JessicaMillerNashville hip doesn't last long. LOL. Overcrowding/ parking downtown ,

Thanks for the recommendation! We are able to dive deeper into the facts, as you mentioned, on these neighborhoods in our podcast, Nashville Daily.

That's the old guard with old money. Even if you are rich with new money. They don't want you here.

Few can afford to live there so it's irrelevant.

In what ways?

@@XPLRNASH well, it seems only the "trendy" neighborhoods are featured from the perspective of someone who either doesn't live here or hasn't been a resident for very long. Very nice and casual, I liked the video, but again, narrow on its perspective of Nashville. There are still neighborhood "communities" intact from the onslaught of new arrivals that retain their "old south with young blood" appeal. You might want to include some of those examples on your next video. From the perspective of the 30 year old and under demography you may have nailed it but missed some of the best places in Nashville that may not be on the "hipster hit list" but are still very fine communities.

I wouldn't want you to give your judgment after watching just one one video, especially when we didn't go into all the areas you just mentioned. It was a neighborhood video. We have close to 700 videos on our KZfaq channel. When you get through all of those, let us know what you think.

The guys just showing diff parts of town, he didn’t say it’s the best Hopefully, your normally not as condescending The guy in the video seems nice 😊

Exactly it’s fried chicken dunked in hot sauce and people think it’s something new lol

All of these neighborhoods were dangerous in 2005 lol. Extreme gentrification here.

So where is the best restaurant?

Hey Janet! Yes, definitely feel free to promote this video on your website! We gladly make this content to help out as much as possible! Also, please send us an email at hello@xplr.life and let's get connected!

They definitely have some great parks and less traffic!!!

@@XPLRNASH yeah they do but also great schools etc.

@@michaelbirdsong196 Definitely some of the better in town!! You're right!!

Use to be

Do you think there's anything positive to Nashville?

Nashville is a violent hellhole. He didn't tell that

Thanks for the feedback, however, this video wasn’t meant to give every fact about every neighborhood, but just to give a general overview of a few.

Forever

Germantown been around since forever. Right next to Salem town and the Jefferson bridge. You can’t be from Nashville and never heard

Nashville has Sobro as well, but the area is quite a bit different than South Bronx.

Thanks for the feedback.

This video is 100% our opinion. We live in Nashville and have spent thousands of hours doing research and learning about this city. We're not newbies coming into this city out of the blue and making videos.

@@XPLRNASH then why can't you pronounce Sylvan?

The population is pretty average in proportion to other larger cities.

That gay district is for white people. Blacks do not be fooled.

Care to elaborate?

XPLR.NASH I moved out of Nashville to the suburbs and my old neighborhood Inglewood was gentrified so much, Gentrification changed the character of the neighborhoods , traffic is worse , home prices have gone up, etc

@@XPLRNASH I think what bothers people is that it no longer has that old country side southern charm. It's been over commercialized and as a result of the forced progressiveness is grossly over crowded. Confession: I moved here almost 20 years ago from California to GET AWAY from the traffic and "progressiveness" of California. It seems to have followed me here. I sympathize with those who like to say "Please don't California my Tennessee". I find myself having to give a disclaimer any time I talk to a Native Tennesseean that I am NOT one of "THOSE Californians who moved to Nashville". I actually CAME HERE because I wanted my family and I to live in the quiet charming southern Bible Belt. I realize as a millennial you probably enjoy the hip progressive "thriving" (as you say) vibe of the new Nashville. Just understand; some people who have grown up here and have had decades to centuries of ancestry here sort of feel like they've been invaded and blown out of a home that they once cherished by a bunch of progressives who decided to change literally everything about the culture here. And I do not believe I exaggerate when I say "invaded" because many families have lost farmland that was in their name for centuries to the "movers and shakers" who sought to commercialize Nashville into a "thriving" town. Now, having said that. I want to commend you. Though it's fairly obvious where you stand on the progressiveness of the city, I do actually appreciate your channel because you are not afraid to pay homage to the history. Though you may not know a lot of it, I detect a respect coming from you that is uncommon from most "young hipster progressive Nashvillians" and for that, I thank you and can happily say, you have a new follower to your channel. Liked and subbed.

@@sdssteward Thank you for the sub! Also, if you take a listen to our podcast, you might learn that we don't want the California policies in Nashville either. We believe that we can have a thriving city that's unique in how it's governed. Is there always going to be progressive movements that happen because of a larger city? Sure, but we know that in the long run, if Nashville went the pace of LA, we won't have a city. Hope you get a chance to listen to the podcast! Cheers, brother!

@@XPLRNASH Wow! Sounds like I do need to check you guys out further! I like what I'm getting from you. Heck! I suddenly really want to meet you for a bite to eat or something one of these days. On a side note. If you saw my channel at all. I am an RC Airplane enthusiast. Nashville actually has 3 sanctioned RC Club Airfields that are pretty cool. You should do a story on this side of Nashville some day. We fly at Peeler Park, Edwin Warner and Cane Ridge.

Thanks!

Well then the Parthenon is safe. Nashville does not have a Pantheon.
