Nashville Might Soon Be Home To Tennessee’s Only Whataburger

0

Nashville might soon be home to Tennessee’s only Whataburger fast food joint…that is, if the voices of the growing WWW (We Want Whataburger) campaign are heard. 

Music City hasn’t seen the glorious burger joint since the first Briley was our mayor. Now the former A-framed orange-and-white-striped-roofed building on Nolensville Road across from Danver’s is nothing more than a tire repair shop.

One brave soul is now hoping to change that and bring the glorious W back to town. 

According to Micah Johnson’s campaign

“I’m asking my fellow Nashville people to sign this petition to further expand Whataburger Awareness for Nashville. Nashville hot chicken is definitely a great thing. But there is plenty of room for Whataburger spicy ketchup.

This plea has been brought to you by Nashville Whataburger Awareness and the triple W “WWant Whataburger” campaign.”

The campaign currently 844 out of their 1,000 signature goal. 

Click here to sign the campaign and bring Nashville one (maybe) step closer to getting a Whataburger.

Last night a massive 4.4 magnitude earthquake rocked our region, knocking books off of shelves and waking deep sleepers from their beds. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the earthquake had an epicenter of 9 Km under Decatur, TN. Even though this is about 100 miles east of Nashville, it still shocked people all around the Nashville region; The earthquake was so strong that it was even felt as far away as Tampa, FL, Kansas City, and New York City. Here’s the USGA’s ‘did you feel it’ map from last night’s quake; It was the second strongest ever recorded in Eastern Tennessee; Earthquakes have been increasing in frequency around our region over the past few years, about a year ago, we saw a 2.9 magnitude quake hit Asheville and a 2.1 magnitude quake that struck Bryson City. The Nashville area has been known to experience the occasional damage-causing earthquakes. According to USGS.gov, “The largest earthquake in the area (magnitude 5.1) occurred in 1916. Moderately damaging earthquakes strike Tennesee every few decades, and smaller earthquakes are felt about once each year or two.”

Music City was just ranked among the top 20 best places to live in America, according to the 2017 U.S. News & World Report. This year, our official rank was #13, nine spots higher than our 2016 ranking. We beat out Charlotte at #14, San Francisco at #16, Houston at #20, Charleston at #27, Tampa at #35, and Atlanta at #50. The publication analysed the top 100 most populous cities in America, by comparing each one’s quality of life, value, job market, desirability and net migration. This year, Nashville achieved an overall score of 7.1 out of 10 (the #1 city on the list, Austin, TX only scored a 7.8). The came to the total score for each city by weighting each category as follows: Job Market Index – 20 percent Value Index – 25 percent Quality of Life Index – 30 percent Desirability Index – 15 percent Net Migration – 10 percent The report comments that, “Nashville is famous for the Grand Ole Opry, the Mother Church of Country Music and twangy honky-tonks, but music is just a byproduct of the larger city culture. Music City is home to a community fiercely driven by a desire to create. Ask people what they do and it’s likely they live in the area to help build something new like a health care information technology startup, an indie progressive rock band or a festival that celebrates all things tomatoes.” Please share if you love Nashville;

So I just got engaged last week and now I need to really step things up for Valentines Day. I’m the kind of person that over-analyses most things in life – I’m surprised I thought my valentines day dinner selection for my new fiance would be any different. I’ve now spent the better part of this week reading online reviews, top 10 lists, social media posts, browsing pictures, and scanning through countless menus. Based on Yelp, Facebook, Google, and Zaggat reviews, online blog articles, Twitter and Instagram posts, and my own personal visits, here are the top 10 most romantic restaurants in Nashville:
