Ranked
The Institute for Quality of Life released its 2025 Happy City Index, and Nashville landed at No. 96 among cities across the world. The annual rankings used several “themes” as indicators of a city’s happiness, including its citizens and their activities, governance, environment, economy, health, and mobility.
Arts
We have “American Gothic” at home. That’s something more people may be saying after Samsung acquired the rights to ~50 works from the Art Institute of Chicago, now available for download on Samsung Smart TVs — it also has pieces from the MOMA + the Met. But can they compete with our local art museums?
