The Essential Rules for Life in Nashville
In order to thrive here in Nashville, there’s a few Essential Rules you need to follow. Whether you’re a longtime resident or a relative newcomer, it’s always great to brush up on the local customs. Executive producer Whitney Pastorek and Hey Nashville newsletter editor Margaret Kingsbury sit down with Michelle Spiva, author of the new book “Music City Musings: Old Nashville Knowledge for Newcomers,” to run down the list — from the rules of the road to the proper way to handle a celebrity sighting. Thanks to Tecovas, our Western wear faves, for being our exclusive launch sponsor!
