Another good one. I did not know Nashville is the Athens of the south. Where is the Athens of the north?

One of the reasons why the name of the nfl team changed from Oilers to Titans

They also have a Parthenon, to go along with the theme. :)

Maybe not an Athens of the North, so much as an Athens of the East(ern hemisphere)
