It certainly wouldn't be in my top 5 list of potential cities to land HQ2 (Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago, Philadelphia and possibly Nashville / Detroit).

Nashville never - it's population is to small and lacks mass transit - Detroit lacks talent and the city's fiscal situation.
I think the dark horse is Richmond, VA. Also, Amazon also asked Richmond to submit a bid. Richmond missing the mark on several criteria, but given it's distance from DC (1 hour travel) and low cost to operate it certainly is a viable option. This is the one to watch.
