I was born and raised in Murfreesboro, TN. Lived in Murfreesboro until I was 30 years old. Moved to Robertson County, TN to be closer to my husband’s job. He is from White House. I love Murfeesboro! I went to some of the best schools in Murfreesboro and my parents
raised my sister and I there. Murfreesboro has gotten very very big through the years, but it’s still a great place to raise a family. Murfreesboro will always be home to me and I’m so thankful for all the experiences and the great education I received there.
Start Your Review of Murfreesboro
Despite the often atrocious traffic, Murfreesboro is great! Murfreesboro is so full of opportunities and new places to visit and try. This town is also constantly growing, so who knows what will come in the future! Overall, Murfreesboro is great and holds a special place in my heart.
Love my city! It keeps growing and growing! It slowly but surely is starting to look like Nashville, less all the nightlife. The traffic jams are incredibly annoying, though, so if you decide to work in Nashville, prepare to leave 2 hours early or else you will be stuck in bottleneck traffic. However, it usually clears pretty quickly but is a
long drive. Especially if there happens to be a wreck on the interstate during peak hours, but the local Emergency Services can usually get it cleared quickly. Lots of help and community, as this is right beside the university, Middle Tennessee State.
