The Amazon HQ2 Nashville announcement will be a nice publicity bounce-back for her.
As if Nashville has a shot. It's not going to an MSA smaller than Atlanta.
lol. Nashville has been the on-and-off Vegas favorite (with Atlanta, amusingly) to land the bid.
That's stupid and weird and irrational. It's going to Atlanta, Miami, Dallas, Philly, Boston, DC, Chicago, LA, or New York. Everyone else is just extra.
"Not happening, bud."
"A lot of people with potential inside knowledge consider it very possible."
"... Okay, well, that's stupid."
Who? The fact is, a metro area that small can't support it. There is hardly a dense core, no functional rail trainsit (and it seems Barry's fiasco will kill her chances of changing that), a limited talent pool, a mediocre airport, and its the deep south, which won't go over well.
I actually think Nashville's airport is among the best I have ever been to. Every time I am flying out of BNA, I am from the entrance to past security in 15 minutes or less (with checking bags). From there, it's not a long walk anywhere, and, unlike some larger airports, there are plenty of good places to eat and to watch a game if I so desire.
