I would recommend Nashville, TN, which is close to several major cities, such as Atlanta, Memphis, St. Louis, Indianapolis, and Chicago. Nashville is influenced by several of its neighboring cities. For example, Memphis and St. Louis are known for Music (blues & Jazz). Nashville is called Music City due to having several recording studios and entertainment businesses. Another influence is Atlanta, which is known for a diverse economy and professional African Americans. Metropolitan Nashville is comprised of educated African Americans and several companies/headquarters (Nissan, HCA, Dell, Nortel, Caterpillar Financial, Saturn, Bellsouth, Genesco, etc...). In addition to, Nashville is home to 3 HBCU’s (TSU, Fisk University, Meharry Medical College) and several other Universities/Colleges (Vanderbilt, Belmont, Lipscomb, Trevecca, Nashville School of Law, MTSU), which means you will encounter several young professionals. More importantly, it’s a productive city with lots of opportunity for all races.
Yea, Raleigh area is definately overlooked.
I used to think Nashville was all country music, but that's a nice one too that you don't usrally think of.
oooooooooh yeah.... definitely forgot about Charlotte. Charlotte is on the verge of becoming the new ATL. Alot of people are migrating there.
Especially banks...
I'm not saying this because I'm from Chicago but I definitly think Chicago is a good market. It is a well estiblished city with 100's of major 500 companies, it is well diversed, the city is know for its entertainment and social life etc..there is a lot more but I just cant think of it right now..to be continuted..lol
I would love to live in Chicago but I cant do that winter weather.
Soundcheck, where are you from?
