Nashville is definitely country music and all that goes with it -- cowboy hats and red leather boots, songs about heartbreak and crying over beer. But this city's repertoire is wider than many visitors assume.
Business is flourishing in a variety of industries, including publishing, health care, finance and professional sports. The city is doing a booming business in conventions and trade shows, and it's hosting more and more people who would just as soon attend a performance of the Nashville Opera as the Grand Ole Opry.
The result is a city that not only lives up to its reputation but also surpasses it.
