Nashville is the capital of the state of Tennessee, located on the Cumberland River in the north-central part of the state. Music, shows, shops, sports and amazing food can all be found in Nashville. It is a colorful, well-known city in several different arenas and, as such, has earned various nicknames including: ��� Music City, USA: WSM-AM announcer David Cobb ���rst used this name during a 1950 broadcast and it stuck. It is now the of���cial nickname used by the Nashville Convention and Visitors Bureau. Nashville is the home of the Grand Ole Opry, the Country Music Hall of Fame, and many major record labels. ��� Athens of the South: Home to twenty-four post-secondary educational institutions, Nashville has long been compared to the ancient city of learning, site of Plato���s Academy. Since 1897, a full-scale replica of the Athenian Parthenon has stood in Nashville, and many examples of classical and neoclassical architecture can be found in the city. ��� The Protestant Vatican or The Buckle of the Bible Belt: Nashville has over 700 churches, several seminaries, a number of Christian music companies, and is the headquarters for multiple publishing arms of religious organizations. ��� Cashville: Nashville native Young Buck released a successful rap album called Straight Outta Cashville that has popularized the nickname among a new generation. ��� Nash Vegas or Nashvegas!
