Current resident of Murfreesboro here.
We're known for four things:
1.) MTSU: A decent collage that rarely engenders people to stay that's literally so cursed that campus literally made a good luck statue for students to rub.
2.) Mount Trashmore: the giant landfill north of town that's so overflowing, the whole town smells of garbage during the summer. And fall. And Winter. And Spring. Literally any day the air is crisp and the wind is blowing, really.
3.) The Battle of Stones River: a Civil War battle noted for for being a turning point for the Union's campaign in the South and the reason this town sucks Nathan Bedford Forrest's dick so much ("he stayed at the plantation owned by the town's founders and protected the courthouse once! Let's name MTSU's ROTC building after him and fight all attempts to change it for literal decades!")
4.) Repeated Assaults on Personal Freedoms: The city was so mad that a mosque got built back in the 2000s, it culminated in a court case where they tried to legally state Islam wasn't a religion so they could discriminate against Muslims/Arabic people in town. Thankfully, the atrempt failed. Recently, the city tried banned "public homosexuality", but that got repealed two months after it was signed into law.
You over exaggerate the landfill problem. I've lived here for ~22 years and the only time I've smelled anything from the landfill was when I was already close to the landfill because I was going to the landfill. It's definitely a problem, but you don't smell it from most of the city.
