Everyone can spot a tourist in their own town - it's pretty obvious. But if there are those of you who are looking for a way to fit in, a way to look like a Nashville local? Then you're going to have to brush up on these ten things...
10. If someone asks you what the Ryman is...
It's the Mother Church of Country Music, folks. You don't forget that.
9. If they're wearing cowboy boots.
More likely than not, you won't find a Nashvillian in cowboy boots. We do wear them, yes. But not to bars on Broadway. During the daytime.
8. Anyone walking Broadway. During the day.
Yeah, locals take Broadway for a spin at night, if we've caught a Preds game or our buddies are playing a bar. But during the daytime...?! Nope.
7. Are they taking a picture in front of this mural...?
Then they're a tourist.
6. Tourists love the Nashville Pedal Tavern!
Locals do not. We repeat: locals. do. not.
5. Mispronouncing, "Demonbreun?"
That's a bit problematic, stranger. Welcome to Nashville!
4. Nothing screams, "tourist" more than a Nashville bachelorette party...
We don't do this here.
3. Segways.
Need we say more?
2. If you spot anyone sporting a Country Music Hall of Fame shirt...
Then they're a tourist.
1. "Have you heard of hot chicken...?"
Yes. Yes we have.
Welcome to Nashville, friends. We're so glad to have you.
