Rex likes being a Nashville-blogger and gives a great example of why he likes the hyphen:

However, because I live in Nashville and blog sometimes about life here, I discovered a few years ago that in addition to just blogging about whatever it is I blog about, from time-to-time, I get to be hyphenated as a Nashville-blogger. That has been a great discovery for me, as through that designation, I’ve met many great people I would have likely never encountered through, say, standing behind them in a line at the Pancake Pantry.

As I have a “Nashville” folder in my RSS newsreader, I also get a steady river of posts from other Nashville-bloggers. What I read there is refreshingly different from the stream of news I read on Techmeme. And sometimes, it is fascinating beyond description. Like a post this morning from Sharon Cobb about the 25th anniversary of a heavy-weigh championship fight and her ex-husband, who got beat up for 15 rounds that evening.

He’s referring to a great post over at Sharon’s this morning that celebrates not only her unique history (when I read it this morning I also went “Whoa”) but the fact that these are the small details that are so interesting while living in Nashville. (I didn’t know Sharon had a television gig in Texas. I do now.)
