Anyone familiar with Lebanon?

flipp - i sent you a private message
i do the tbca.org site and live in the area. jd

Since John is covering your Lebanon question in a priviate message, let me add one thing.

When I was a junior at the University of Tennessee I had the pleasure of dating a very pretty girl from Lebanon. I've often wondered what happen to her, but the main thing is tell your son the girls from Lebanon will bring a smile to his face.

HV, you're telling us more than we want to know.

Lebanon is far enough out of Nashville to still have a small town feel, but you're close to the city to enjoy its amenities.

Just a guess, but I'd think real estate is a bit less there than it is in Brentwood/Franklin.

Lebanon is also 30 minutes closer to "God's Country" - East Tennessee.

Bizazz,
It's important for the lad to know that the girls are known for their beauty.

I have 3 daughters so I don't think Lebanon is a good fit for us. If I only had a son, sure, but I have to look at things a little differently.

FlippJ -- I live in Nashville. Lebanon is the county seat of neighboring Wilson County. It's a great small town, but fast growing. Not as fast as Franklin or Hendersonville, but my bet is that Lebanon is about ready to take off. Good schools. Sits on Old Hickory Lake. Lebanon has a real good industrial, commercial employment base. You can't go wrong in Lebanon -- or Franklin, or Hendersonville or Gallatin or Brentwood -- or Murfreesboro -- but heck, why not move into Nashville? You might want to check out the Hermitage area of Nashville. Someone remarked that real estate prices are far less in Lebanon than Brentwood or Franklin. That's right. Your dollar will buy more house and land in Lebanon than any of the cities you mentioned.

Don't know much about Lebanon except my oldest son attended Castle Heights Military Academy for two years back in the 80's. (It has closed). We would drive up and spend the weekends in Lebanon. Nice town...not too big and not too small. Close enough to Nashville that you can get to anything your heart desires; far enough away that you can still see the stars at night and listen to the whippoorwills.

One more thing I forgot to address. If it's baseball you want to see, then get yourself over to Cumberland University, Lebanon, TN, and watch the 2004 NAIA National Champs play their brand of ball.
