The Roundabout: Moving out, rolling in, and staying put

It’s Thursday, which means it’s time for our weekly roundtable discussion featuring a variety of voices. Otherwise known as The Roundabout.

Today is for anyone who’s ever thought, “I’m not sure I can live here anymore,” or “I just got here and I’m never leaving.” People threaten to leave where they’re from for all kinds of reasons: rising costs, community, limited opportunity, politics, principle, or personal health. After yesterday’s conversation about Tennessee expats, today we’re talking with those who’ve considered leaving and decided to stay, at least for now, as well as folks who came from other parts of the country and found Tennessee a more welcoming place to land.

Call 615-760-2000 to join the conversation live, or you can chime in with questions, comments – or your personal story — during the show on our YouTube stream.

Guests:

• Malick Gaye, Vice President of Livability, Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce
• Margaret Littman, freelance journalist
• Morgxn, singer/songwriter, owner Fruity Farms
