This week Nashville is hosting the CMA's. While for some this is a very exciting time as a resident here it is not so exciting. The traffic has increasingly gotten worse in this town and now with all these tourists, it only makes it even more difficult. There are streets that are jam packed, some are blocked and getting around is a nightmare. While I understand that Nashville is "Music City" I have been here long enough to no longer care. I don't enjoy large crowds, drunk people and I'm not interested in getting sunburnt while standing outside listening to live music. Where I do love music, and enjoy playing my instruments and understand the appeal of all these artists playing here locally, it is not something that I want to dredge through the insane crowds.
I'm sure for someone who loves these artists, loves music and finds the appeal of Nashville exciting, it was never the draw for me here. As someone who looks forward to this entire event being over with and these tourists leaving town.
This only pushes my desire to not be in a big city. The idea of being in the country with quiet, a yard, my chickies and no neighbors within at least a half mile or more sounds amazing.
