east nashville 

East Nashville is a combination of neighborhoods (loosely Cleveland Park, East End, Eastwood, Greenwood, Edgefield, Inglewood, Lockeland Springs, Maxwell Heights, McFerrin Park, Shelby Hills) in Nashville, TN.

Way back in the day it was a richer part of town which became a poorer part of town. But recently a younger crowd has moved in and it's known as the hipster side of Nashville. It has a variety of local businesses and restaurants.

It's popular for Five Points, Shelby Park and Shelby Bottoms.

Minor crime can still be common and there are quite a few quirks because of this... like painting your lawnmower in polka dots so it can be identified if stolen.

"I live up in East Nasvhille. You know... over the hills and through the hood."

"We can meet up at Five Points and bike over to the East Nashville farmer's market."
