Snapshot of Nashville, NC

When you drive into Nashville, North Carolina, you are immediately greeted by a large, intimidating brick building. A quick glance and you can read the sign for the Nash County Sheriff’s Office, directly across the street from the criminal court. Although both imposing structures, they do not properly represent the town of Nashville.

A slow drive down Washington Street showed you all the staples of an old-time town. A local tool shop, a florist, a library, a furniture store. All the shops looked old and weathered, yet not run-down.

A block off the open main road and you found the street covered in large trees, draping over the curbs providing some shade from the setting sun. Large Victorian houses lined the streets, their front lawns covered in autumn leaves. Just one block from the main town and you became engulfed in a quaint little suburb.
