All About Nashville

Nashville has several nicknames, including:
Music City, USA
Nashvegas
Cashville
Smashville (at least according to the NHL Predators)
Oprah Winfrey moved to Nashville in 1968. She won Miss Black

Tennessee in 1972 and at age 19 became the first female
African-American news anchor in Nashville.
The Fisk Jubilee Singers began as a fundraising eort when

then 5 year old Fisk University was struggling financially. They
are the reason that Nashville is referred to as Music City
because Queen Victoria commented that they sang so
beautifully, they must be from the Music City of America.
By 1850, Nashville had earned the title Athens of the South

for its large number of universities. Nashville was also one of
the first southern cities to establish a widespread public
education system.
Nashville was an important epicenter of the Civil Rights

Movement and is particularly known for the 1960 sit ins to
protest segregated lunch counters.
In 2010, a major flood wiped out several parts of the city. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nashville_flood for more
information.
Nashville is home to the largest Kurdish population in the US.

The city is also home to refugees from many other countries in
Africa and Southeast Asia.
During the Iraqi elections of 2005 and 2014, Nashville was one
of the few international locations where Iraqi expatriates could
vote.

Local Laws
Trac Laws:
Right turns on red lights after stop are legal at most intersections unless otherwise posted. Tennessee drivers are
required to move over when passing a stopped emergency vehicle by switching lanes where applicable (four lane road)
or slowing down while passing where moving over is not possible. Seat belts are required for vehicle drivers and all
passengers regardless of age, and a vehicle can be stopped solely for a belt related oense. The driver of a vehicle is
responsible for insuring that all children under the age of 16 are properly restrained in any vehicle, this includes requiring
the use of car seats and belt positioning boosters. For a detailed list of the Child Restraint Laws, please refer to the
states website at http://www.state.tn.us/safety/newCRD.htm
Taxes:
Currently, there is no personal income tax on most income, including salaries, in Tennessee. However, Tennessee does
have a tax on certain interest and dividend income over $1250 per person. The current state sales tax is 7% and the city
sales tax is 2.25%, making a total of 9.25%. This combined tax is assessed against virtually all retail goods sold in
Tennessee. For information on residential property taxes, contact the Metropolitan Property Assessor at (615) 862-6080.
In Davidson County, tax is assessed at a rate of $4.13 per $100 of assessed value, with an assessment ratio of 25% for
residential property owners. That is to say, a home with an assessed value of $100,000 would have property taxes of
approximately $1,032.50 (or ($100,000*.25)*(4.13/100)). For the current taxes on a piece of property, consult the tax
records online through the Property Assessors website: http://www.padctn.com/
Liquor Laws:
The legal drinking age in Tennessee is 21. Bars are permitted to stay open until 2 a.m. seven days a week. Liquor and
wine are only sold through licensed package stores. Beer can be purchased at most grocery and convenience stores, as
well as package stores, but not where liquor and wine are sold. Liquor stores are closed on Sundays.
DUI:
Tennessee has one of the strictest DUI laws in the United States with .08 being the legal limit. If you are convicted of a
first oense DUI, you will incur a jail sentence, probation, required public service, a $350 fine, court costs, and loss of
your driver's license for one year.
