Anyone familiar with this town?

My niece just got a teaching job there and they want here to start in a couple of weeks. She basically has two weekends to find a place to live AND move in.

So, I'm hoping someone can help clue us in. Good areas, bad areas? Suggestions? etc.

Thats where my family stops to get lunch on the way to Atlanta from Saint Louis. It's where the first Krystal along the route is located.

I'm useful.

I'm trying to sell an EUB to a guy who lives there. He's a fireman...so I guess they have a fire dept. If they have a Krystal there too, its an even better place than I imagined.

OP, do you have a job at a local public school or are you at Austin Peay University? I have some relatives in Clarksville, and I used to live about sixty miles to the west in Murray, KY. As a bassist, the best thing about Clarksville is that it is roughly forty minutes from Nashville! If you can play, there are a bunch of opportunities to gig down there and a few in the Clarksville, TN/Hopkinsville, KY area. You also are only about ninety minutes from The LowEnd bass shop in Murfreesboro. If you are black, watch out for some of the little towns in the area, there is alot of Ku Klux Klan, but if you use some common sense, that will not be much of a problem.

Its okay... Kind of a boring place. It's about 30-45 minutes from Nashville. You will be almost walking distance to Kentucky. You will be very close to Fort Campbell and I have always been told not to by items like car, guitars, etc... from clarksville because people flock around the military bases and try to put the swindle on you and rip you off.
