The Tennessee capital is recognized as the Athens of the South for the number of colleges and universities in the area as well as the reproduction of the Parthenon in Centennial Park, just over a mile from campus. The city also has a well-earned reputation as the nation’s Health Care Capital as more than 500 health care companies call Nashville home. But Nashville’s most well-known nickname is Music City. Home to all genres of music, Nashville offers distinctive performance venues to appeal to every taste, from the grandeur of the Schermerhorn Symphony Hall to the historical holy ground of the Ryman Auditorium to the honky tonks on Lower Broadway. Of course, one of our favorite monikers is Smashville, thanks to the much beloved Nashville Predators.
