Some consider Louisville, KY to be the south. I don't...but some do. With that in mind, Louisville is an amazing city. In most ways it has a lot of the attitude of a southern city, but also has a thriving arts scene, a decent music scene, incredible independent restaurants (as opposed to, say, Nashville), and isn't too far removed from the north...
incredible independent restaurants (as opposed to, say, Nashville)
Have you been to Nashville in the past couple of years? In 2005/2006 a huge number of local-owned/unique/indy restaurants cropped up in Hillsboro Village, the Gulch, and along West End. Many of these are upscale and are excellent.
Now... Williamson County/Brentwood... I agree. Big Box Chain Central.
