I thought I would post some general Murfreesboro photos, and this seemed like the most appropriate thread to post them in. The following photos were taken over the course of a little over a year.

McFadden Farm area of the Stones River National Battlefield:

Downtown and surrounding area (my wife and I attend the pictured church, Central Christian Church.):

Sorry for the delay, but here are the pictures I spoke of earlier. As with my last batch, some of these pictures go back more than a year. The most recent of this particular set is a few months old.

The Sones River and Stones River Battlefield (McFadden Farm area):

Nice pictures guys! Good area to raise a family in?

Why yes! Murfreesboro is tied with Franklin as having the top schools in the state. There are many parks and wild life stations with state of the art facitlities (i.e. Barfield Crescent Park, Old Fort Park, Richard Siegle Park, Discovery Center At Murfree Spring) as well as recreational facilities (i.e. Go USA Theme Park, Murfreesboro Athletic Club, Patterson Park Community Center). There is a healthy mix of low/mid/upscale/high end housing. Crime is very low for a city its size. Sure you'll fnd your Wal-marts, Starbucks, and other retail sprawl, but you'll also find a thriving downtown with specialty shops, boutiques, restaurants, banks, music shops, clubs etc. Murfreesboro has almost 100,000 residents and is still a proud Main Street Community.

Sorry for the triple post, but here's another Murfreesboro picture. This time it's the water tower on Jones Blvd.:

There have been a few of these built around Murfreesboro and I do not know if it was the case for each of them but the one on New Salem Hwy. was actually an old farm silo. They reinforced the walls of the silo and then added the top "mushroom" section which was kind of cool I thought. Rather innovative.

WOW! Thanks. The wife and I are going there in Sept for a day. We were going and still I should say to NC to look and found this town. Paid an addtional $1100 to fly there for the day from NC during our visit to NC....lol Hope its worth it ;)

What is it?

^ Not having any kids myself, I'm probably not the best one to answer that question. There are several parks, a boys and girls club, and a place where kids can ride go-karts and play video games, and (I'm sure) lots of church youth groups.

A place to raise a family? Things for kids to do?

Yes, the usual types of places. Parks, movie theatres (there is also a legitimate theatre group for kids - the Sunshine Players), skateboard park, Discovery Museum for smaller kids, Community Centers, Pools, Soccer fields, etc. MTSU offers Division I college sports to attend and, of course, professional sports are just a short drive away in Nashville (Football, Hockey).

Sounds great! I am sure the girls will ask if there is a mall?

Yes. Stones River Mall which is not very large but is currently undergoing expansion. The whole area around that Mall however is pretty much 'shop til you drop' retail stores like Old Navy, etc. I'm not sure but I had heard that a new Mall was going to be built.

What about other things for teenagers? IE; miniature golf, arcade, movies, etc?

^ We've got Go USA Theme Park, which has miniature golf, arcade, gocart racing and more, and a couple of movie theaters in town, one better than the other (in my opinion). On the subject of malls, we also have a brand new one under construction called The Avenue Murfreesboro. It's going to be an outdoor lifestyle mall, and will be very large.

The other town we are looking into which seems to be cheaper is La Vergne. Any thoughts?

No speeding! Ha.

I'm not that familiar with LaVergne but I know that it is an enclave which has experienced tremendous growth too. It is situated next to Davidson County and so you would be only about five minutes away from a major Mall (Hickory Hollow) and the Ampitheatre where all the big name bands perform in the less inclimate months.
