Nashville in Lebanon and Lebanon near Nashville

Was reading an article on CNN that the USS Nashville was in Beirut, Lebanon to evacuate the stranded US citizens.

Could not help but notice the coincidence.

For those who are unaware, there is also a place called Lebanon (wikipedia | map) near Nashville, Tennessee. Hence the title of this entry: "Nashville in Lebanon and Lebanon near Nashville" :). Nashville is the capital of Tennessee is considered the home of country music.

Trivia:
- Dell Inc. has a desktop manufacturing facility (EG1) at East Gate, Lebanon, TN.
- Just learnt that the Cracker Barrel restaurant chain originated in Lebanon, TN! I love Cracker Barrel :).
- Lebanon, TN is pronounced "LEB-nun", as opposed to the "LEB-uh-non". That reminds me of my conversation with my friend Jenny that Antioch, TN is pronounced "Ani-ock" :)
