I have a very tentative line on a job in Nashville, I'll be starting to interview for soon (I just finished up two screening interviews and passed with flying colors). The job sounds right up my alley, although it obviously pays less than I get in the bay area

If I end up relocating to nashville what can I expect? Anyone give me any opinions who might know the area? I looked a bit at real estate prices and I used to live in TN a long time ago (I was in the 4th grade so my memories aren't too detailed about it). I am not putting the cart before the horse here, I just don't want to start interviewing seriously with these folks unless I'm personally prepared to relocate should things go well. Don't want to waste anyone's time.

Opinions? Climate? Culture? Cost of living? General demeanor of the people? We'd probably want to buy a little bit of acreage and wouldn't live in Nashville proper. We're really looking to slow down our pace of life. We're almost hippies already, at least we try to live a fairly slow pace as much as we can out here and we're really interested in slowing down and smelling the roses.
