There is a lot to do, even though it isn't a big tourist spot or anything. There's a good selection of parks and natural locations, so hiking is really fun here, especially with the waterfalls and natural swimming locations. The people are generally nice and overall it feels like a safe area. The only thing I can think the fault it for is the spotty road maintenance at times. Pot holes aren't terribly frequent, but it takes a while for road work to be done. There's a light near town that always has a wobbly piece of asphalt in the left turning lane- as in, the asphalt has literal waves in it that people border the lines to avoid driving over. Road work aside, it's a pleasant place to live and visit and I am happy to be here. In more urban/town areas, there is a bit more consideration for walking and foot traffic, but it's a bit spaced out, so driving is definitely a better move.
Lebanon is a small, but growing, town about 25 min outside of Nashville. It is home to Cumberland University and Tennova Health Center. There are numerous food options including fast food, chain establishments, and locally-owned restaurants. There is a small shopping center strip mall with stores such as Aeropostale, American Eagle, Gap, etc. There are a few bars. Cahoots Dance hall is an 18+ dance bar that is popular with the college kids and people who like linedancing. Then there is Whiskey River and Legends Sports Bar for light bar foods and games of pool. The town has several primary and secondary schools, multiple churches, and two beautiful parks for exploring. There is a bowling alley, flea market, antique mall, and boutiques for activities and things to do. The police department has an adequate reputation, as not being too strict or too loose. It is a smaller town so if the food, shopping, or hiking doesn’t work, it is an easy drive to Nashville, Murfreesburo or Gallatin.
I love Lebanon. It's a small town just outside of Nashville. You aren't far from restaurants, grocery stores, or parks. We have a dog park that connects a walking trail from the community park. It's a great place to hang out with your furry friend. Across the dog park are the Bocce Ball courts. Bring your own balls and have a blast. We have a local movie theater and restaurants. Each with their own unique characteristics. The historic square has several local businesses. Cracker Barrel was even founded here!
