The Most Industrial Areas In The Nashville, Tennessee Market.
Nashville is the second largest city in Tennessee, measuring roughly 600 square miles in area. Industry exists in all its smoke-belching glory, as witnessed by the steel mill on the Cumberland River in downtown Nashville. A major pet foods plant is also in downtown Nashville. However, factories with emissions aren-t the only industry in the city.
Food is a major industry in Nashville. Meat packing plants which process chicken, breakfast sausage and hot dogs are located in Nashville. Ice cream and other dairy products are manufactured in Nashville. Candy, baked goods, canned foods and frozen foods all have plants in Nashville. From breakfast to supper and in between, people eat foods made and shipped from Nashville, Tennessee.
If people don a uniform, such as medical scrubs, fireman uniforms or fast food company uniforms, chances are it was manufactured in Nashville, Tennessee. Some factories manufacture the whole cloth for other companies to fashion into clothing, while others cut and sew the cloth. In any event, if you wear it, it probably came from Nashville.
Perhaps the most industrial area of Nashville is the downtown area. There are two downtown areas; one contains the shops and restaurants, the old Ryman Auditorium on Fourth Avenue and Tootsie-s Orchid Lounge on Broadway. But there is another downtown, one further away from the bright lights, where the shipping occurs. Warehouses containing foodstuffs for shipment to the military bases exist there, along with warehouses stocking soft drinks, pharmaceuticals, grocery items and more. Trucking from these areas is also part of Nashville industry.
A piece on Nashville wouldn-t be complete without mentioning country music. Someone has to manufacture the CDs and DVDs, and then truck them to the world. Someone has to make those belt buckles. Some think it-s the only industry in Nashville, and who are we to argue?
