Nashville has been called the ‘IT’ city for close to a decade, with an average of 100 people moving to the city each day. The population is soaring, and the skyline is ever-changing as new companies such as Amazon and Oracle move their operations here. Music City is also home to a number of colleges and universities, giving our city another moniker:  The Athens of the South.
