As the state capital, Nashville is the center of a constant whirlwind of governmental and political affairs.

Within a 15-minute drive of the metropolitan skyline lie more than 6,650 acres of parks. There are lakes for boating, skiing and swimming, as well as facilities for softball, polo, ice-skating, tennis and annual steeplechases. Golfers have countless courses on which to hone their skills.
