One of the most charming cities of the American south is Nashville – a city many claim to be the model of the American “melting pot.” Being the home of various religions, customs and traditions, the Music City in the past, present and future has had, has and will have a very diverse and illustrious population. The communities which deserve most attention are mainly those from the Middle East, Asia and Native Americans. But while it is the home of country music and one of the major music recording centers only about 19,000 people earn their living from the music industry. Also being an educational center, the capital city of Tennessee includes six graduate business schools, two law schools, two medical schools and sixteen colleges and universities. The one very important feature which visitors will be able to benefit from and fine useful is the Nashville Translation. It combines years of expertise in the field of translation and interpretation. For example it can be indispensable at events like the Grand Ole Opry which is country music’s most famous stage and where foreign music lovers may experience difficulties with understanding the strong regional accent.

Louisville, which is in Kentucky, is one of the greatest cities of the American south. Being located on a key spot on the Ohio River, it has been a center for shipping and trade for years. The main population of the city is 19% African American and 77% Caucasian show the demographics. Besides these, though, newly-arrived immigrants have brought more exotic flavor to the city as the languages spoken in the public schools are more than 60. Those interested in the bourbon whiskey industry may find it interesting that some of America's top bourbon whiskey makers like Maker's Mark and Jim Beam distill their "water of life" in the region. Louisvillians are a very cosmopolitan community even though their life is very much governed by the Southern traditions and style. Nevertheless, every May, Louisville prepares for the Kentucky Derby horse racing festivities. Hat-makers produce all sorts of hats for the event - derbies, coifs, birettas and bowler hats. Those who want to taste the local food and drinks will be delighted by the stewed burgoo and the mint julep. But to the untrained tourists all this will remain a mystery unless they use the Louisville Translation Services to guide them through all these strange customs and rituals.

The "Gateway to the West" - this what image St. Louis has acquired over the years. St. Louis is rightfully proud of its rich historical heritage which is connected with the large agricultural resources traveling to the west of the Mississippi and the American Frontier's last major settlement. If you ever wondered where America's most famous beer brand, Budweiser, came from - it is St. Louis. In 1860, Eberhard Anheuser acquired a struggling brewery in St. Louis. By the beginning of the 1890s, together with his son-in-law, Adolphus Busch, they were already selling the first beer distributed nationally by rail - Budweiser. The story of another famous company is quite similar. In 1893 W.H. Danforth founded the Purina Mills Company, which from horse-feed producer turned into a major pet foods manufacturer. St. Louis' richest heritage is the diversity of its neighborhoods. One thing that sparkles the interest of St. Louisans is the histories about the neighborhoods and the development of the land. These histories are available through the Community Development Agency but will be incomprehensible to many without the Saint Louisville Translation Services which will provide the necessary support to those who have difficulties with understanding the language.
