I'm right there on that map to the southwest. I hope you were able to make it to Nashville or Franklin or Murfreesboro while you were visiting. It would be very short-sighted of you to base your visit off a town of (maybe) 11,000 by now. And, who knows, you could have seen my black son, his friends of all colors, and I there on any given month. We LOVE the Amish Store in the small antique district.
