Metro-center/North Rhodes Park is a district on the outskirts of Nashville, Tennessee, to the north of the buzzing city center. It makes for a quieter place to stay away from Music City, but the action is easy to reach by car. While Nashville’s center is most famous for its country music, it’s also a busy hub of publishing, banking and healthcare, which makes Metro-center/North Rhodes feel more laid back and relaxed in comparison. It still comes with Tennesee’s subtropical climate and mild winters, making every time of the year a good one for a visit to soak up this fascinating slice of the deep south. There are a few shopping centers, and several companies have their offices here, including the state's National Security and United Way. If you're staying in the vicinity, do visit these places.
