As a resident of a downtown Nashville neighborhood, I find few things as annoying as tourists! Seriously, if I have to go anywhere in the vicinity of Lower Broadway I immediately catch a bad case of road rage. I hate being stuck behind bachelorette parties, cowboy hats, geriatric visitors, and drunkards on pedal taverns. However, these tourists are dropping LOADS of money! According to a report released by the state, visitors of Music City spent $6.5 BILLION in 2017, which led the state of Tennessee! SOURCE
