I’m sure you’re all aware of the awful flooding that’s hit Nashville
I lived in Nashville for 2 years before I moved to Chicago
I am seeing so many places I know on the news each night
But the devastation has left much of it unrecognisable
Historic, even legendary buildings
Under water
Iconic landmarks
Ruined
It’s such a tragedy
And it makes me sad
Most of my friends I have spoken to there are OK
Some are still very shell shocked
But, and here’s why I love Nashvillians, they’re mostly GRATEFUL
That’s right, grateful
Grateful they’re alive
Grateful they were able to retrieve some of their most valued possessions before the water got too high
Grateful to their friends & neighbours for their help
Nashville is an amazing little city
I don’t know how long it’s going to take to put it back together again
But I don’t doubt for a minute it’ll get done
They’re pretty special people in that neck of the woods
Oh gosh – read about this all from another blogger who lives there. Didn’t manage to get to Nashville during my one and only (Contiki tour) visit to the USA. Next time!!

Like all the GREAT Towns of the World…It’s the PEOPLE who make them what they are. I too have some dear friends in Nashville (some mutual) and know how devastated they are to see so many precious landmarks underwater. They have banned together and yes, they will indeed get it done! To The Spirit of Nashville and it’s Citizens…Cheers! CJxxx
