Southern hospitality is a real thing, and Nashville is getting recognized for it. The 615 took home the No. 4 spot on Preply’s report on the most polite cities in the US.

The study asked residents’ opinions on how often people in their city exhibit rude behavior (think: being on your phone in public or not acknowledging strangers) to build their “rudeness ranking.”

According to the list, some of the the rudest cities in the US were Philadelphia and New York City. However, our 6AM City sister cities really know how to turn on the charm, snagging the first five of 15 cities labeled most polite.
