Talk:Antioch, Tennessee

Hickory Hollow, Flooding along Mill Creek, Business and Infrastructure Growth during the 70s and 80s?
The area has seen significant changes both in population and infrastructure—Antioch experienced major growth after the building of the mall, which was the largest enclosed mall in the south when it opened in 1978. The road system was severely overtaxed when the mall opened, with most connecting roads being only two lanes. This required that all surrounding roads be widened to 4-6 lanes, plus the expansion of the I-24 corridor all the way from Nashville to well past Smyrna. Also, Mill Creek experienced massive flooding, which required dredging and widening of the creek banks to allow for higher flow volume. The area still experienced devastation during the May 2010 flood, which saw I-24 covered by floodwaters and news footage of a mobile building floating away and running into a bridge.

After the opening of HH—a huge number of luxury apartments were built in the area, as well as entire subdivisions of McMansion-type homes. Despite this influx of new construction—there always remained a stigma about having a 37013 zipcode, to the point that many upscale apartment communities began to tack on the moniker of "Brentwood" into their name, creating the area known as "Brentioch." In recent years, development spread to Nolensville, Smyrna and La Vergne, as the once booming Antioch area has seen decline in the past decade or so and a rise in crime.24.211.211.161 (talk) 03:56, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Opening heading
This page seems to indicate Antioch has poor schools (as stated by it being 'overtaxed' and also negative attribute of immigrants. Why then is Antioch voted the best town in Tennessee by Sperling?


 * Basically, this article is very poorly written, and contains a large amount of POV. If I were remotely familiar with this region, I'd do a rewrite, but I'm only now learning Murfreesboro, where I now live. --  Huntster  T • @ • C 22:55, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree,but it is true.
I agree that this article is poorly written but everything stated is true. It is a magnet for Mexicans and such. Maybe I can find a link on the Tennessean's web page to use as a source,but I don't know how to add it to Wikipedia. Just today a Antioch high school student got arrested for murder for shooting someone. It was in the Tennessean today.--BeckiGreen (talk) 22:14, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

I agree on the POV. It's helpful for my project, which is a blog on homes in the area (I live nowhere near it, no little about it, and need the source), but it is definitely in need of some neutralization. Cbflagginc (talk) 18:10, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Antioch, Nashville, Tennessee → Antioch, Tennessee — The long-standing name of this article was Antioch, Tennessee, which is (among other things) the name that the postal service uses for the Antioch post office and zip code. Another user recently renamed the article to Antioch, Nashville, Tennessee on the theory that it is part of the area governed by the Nashville metropolitan government and therefore must be treated as a neighborhood of Nashville. The article formerly called it a "neighborhood," but I changed the terminology in the lead section to "community in southeastern Davidson County" in order to be more consistent with the way it is described by various reasonably reliable sources. The metropolitan government encompasses the entire county, with the exception of a few included cities, but the metro government makes distinctions between the Nashville urban service area and outlying areas (like Antioch) that receive less service and pay less tax. It appears to me that "Antioch, Tennessee" is the common name for this place. Google searches find more hits on "Antioch Tennessee" than on "Antioch Nashville"; although many ghits do describe it as "Antioch (Nashville)". --Orlady (talk) 04:58, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
 * . We should not be coming up with original names for places, which "Antioch, Nashville, Tennessee" is.  The proposed name is properly disambiguated with the state, and reflects the most natural, common and concise name per WP:TITLE.  --Born2cycle (talk) 21:56, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Bad Article
Why doesn't this article follow the pattern for mid-size cities? It has no side bar, images, introduction or mentions of transportation, education or climate. It should be equal in quality to the articles of cities of a comparable size. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.193.198.4 (talk) 06:53, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Neighborhood status
At just under 100k people, is it really a neighborhood or a collection of neighborhoods? 2603:6011:A400:259:A0D1:1569:158A:5826 (talk) 11:53, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
