I know a lot of Memphis residents who have relocated to Nashville. One guy described it as "life-changing." The cities are completely different. The problem with Nashville is the same as the problem with Austin - it's surrounded by rural hicks. On the other hand, I moved here because housing is cheap and it allows me to do the things I want to do (like travel) while keeping my overhead low.
I'm pretty pro-TN (my relatives are from KY and OH), and surprisingly compatible with hicks, but I wonder how it would be for e.g. my Japanese-ancestry girlfriend. She seems afraid of Texas for the same reason.

I was kind of turned-off of TN due to Memphis, but maybe Nashville is enough better to be worth considering.
