#10 - Outdoor Concert Venue

For those who haven't made it out to The Woods Amphitheatre at Fontanel or are still pining for the Starwood days of ol' — let's beg the muses of Music City to divine us another outdoor concert spot (with raked seating pretty please!).

#9 - Life Time Athletic

This fitness club, headquartered in Minnesota, operates 102 centers in 22 states. As many of you let us know, Tennessee isn't one of them. If Life Time ever decides to set up shop in Nashville, where would you want them to be located? Tell us at wehearyou@nashvillelifestyles.com.

#8 - Better Recycling System

Props to all the community minded folks who told us they would love to see a better system for waste and recycling in Nashville. Let's keep working to help our people and our planet—here's a list of recycling drop-off sites in the area.

#7 - In-N-Out Burger

We can only add a "yes, and amen" to this idea. There's even a Facebook page dedicated to bringing In-N-Out to Middle Tennessee.

#6 - Amusement Park

Opryland is a memory and Dollywood is a trek. Maybe one day we'll see an amusement park in Nashville, but until then—please keep all arms and legs inside the cart at all times.

#5 - Riverfront Restaurants

With the current growth of restaurant life and culinary conversation in the city, this missing link will likely be remedied sooner than later. What type of experience/cuisine would you hope to see? Tell us at wehearyou@nashvillelifestyles.com.

#4 - Major League Baseball

So many people responded to our 'What's Nashville Missing?' question with a heckling cry for our own major league team. They've already broken ground for the Nashville Sounds' new ballpark at Sulphur Dell, one can only hope for what's next…

#3 - A beach

Love where your head's at, Nashville.

#2 - Good Public Transportation

Whichever side of the AMP discussion you're on, the fact remains Nashvillians and commuters are looking for a better way to get around the city as well as in and out of it.

#1 - IKEA

The Swedish furniture and home goods chain would create a lot of jobs. Not only are there a plethora of roles within the store, there's gotta be a market for someone to translate those instructions, right?
