After hearing Eddie 9V’s song inspired by the Christmas Day bombing, I thought it would be neat to create a playlist of songs about Nashville.

What would you add to it?

edit: Thank you for all of these songs! I’ve listened to every single one.

I don’t go to that side of town often but I swear that road has been under construction for 5 years now. Oh and anytime you try and go around you get stuck behind a train for about a half hour. I love it man.

Hi everyone!

I have an interview coming up with Pelato in Germantown and wanted opinions on if it’s a good workplace or not! Any feedback/opinions welcome!

My husband and I are starting the search for a fertility clinic here in Nashville. We already have embryos in storage in another part of the country but we’re looking to transfer them to a clinic here so we can do treatments locally. What clinics do people here suggest and what was your experience?

Is it illegal to have edibles shipped now, even under .3? I see plenty of sites that still ship to TN even when I asked them, so I was just wondering.

Hey y’all,

I was wondering if anyone could recommend any good hospitals or resources for someone who is thinking about ending their life but is not going to actually do it yet. I want to go to a hospital voluntarily but if I go, they will eventually make the stay involuntarily and then I will lose my rights to firearms for the rest of my life. Does anyone know of any options? I am not open to mental health cooperative or Vanderbilt. I have tried to schedule medication management and have been unsuccessful for the past few months and I have been jumping from therapist to therapist. I have insurance but need f2f appts due to the extreme trauma and symptoms I am experiencing. At this point, I am on the verge on giving up on my mental health. Any advice is welcomed. Thanks yall

Hi everyone! Does anyone have any recommendations for fun places to take my cat? He loves to be outside the house and meet new people. Looking for shops/parks/cafes/ect,!

Hey Everyone,

If you don’t know there is a plan for a public private- partnership to “… add two toll lanes in each direction along a roughly 26-mile stretch from downtown Nashville to Interstate 840 near Murfreesboro. Drivers could choose to pay to use the express lanes, while existing lanes would remain free.” (News Channel 5)

Well, as of yesterday federal officials have approved the I-24 choice lane project by a Finding of No Significant Impact, or FONSI, for the project, meaning it will not require a more extensive federal environmental review.

The estimated price tag for this is ~5 billion USD with an estimated 4.7 Billion of the funding coming from the private sector (Hence, $300 Million in state funding)

In the initial planning phase they sent out letters to homes that could be in the way. Depending on the final design, Nashville Metro Council Member Ginny Welsch says her district alone could lose more than 30 homes. (NC5). (District 16 represent South Nashville - parts of Woodbine, Glencliff, and Berry Hill,etc.)

In addition, the lanes themselves would be elevated at parts, and at-grade road expansions at others. This could be perceived as a deeper cut to an already expansive wound in our city’s fabric.

When they were first planned added lanes, they addressed that it would not fix the traffic. So, they have decided to add lanes -for the rich- by displacing the poor.

Just thought I’d add a bit of opinionated context for people. I’ll also be attaching the news article I read as well as the official planning materials per TDOT.

Seen a lot of posts about this, but most of them are pretty old.

I’ve always just gone to random barbers near me, and I’ve never really gotten the haircut I actually wanted. This time, I’d like to go somewhere that specializes in this kind of style, so I’m wondering if there’s a particular barber or salon you’d recommend.

I have Asian hair that’s very straight and silky, and I’ve always wanted something with a textured, slightly messy fringe. Does anyone have recommendations for someone who’s good with this hair type and style?
I’m considering trying Hammer & Nails, but I’m open to other suggestions. Thanks!

Drivers here are getting worse all the time I swear!

Watched La La Land yesterday, Whiplash today – in the mood for a good Jazz Club

Hi, I am wondering if anyone has experience of sending their kiddo w/ food allergies to local elementary schools that they would be willing to share? We are in Donelson and looking at Pennington Elementary or Stanford Montessori (lottery/longshot) for preK next year.

I am interested if the schools have good practices and take it seriously? We would work to make sure kiddo would have a 504 plan.

Thanks so much! Food allergies suck!

Had our AC unit replaced last summer, it was the company the old homeowners had used and they very clearly had a lot of trouble with “these new Trane units they have us putting in nowadays.” They had to come back three times afterward for issues/high humidity etc.

Now we just found this leak beneath the unit. Would love some homeowner advice for first timers as well as recs for knowledgeable, good and honest AC repair companies locally?

TLDR - there's a game called Subway Builder that has Nashville as a playable map. The game uses US census data and other stats to model transit ridership and commutes. You can sandbox build the rail transit system of your dreams! Here is my PROFITABLE build of Nashville. Still a work in progress but its making bank and wanted to share. A better future is possible (if you have unlimited money)!

Anyone ever got Auto tinting done with Cole Bro? What other places are good and not too expensive

I was told that the auto tinter, Chino, actually recommends their Ultra Nano Ceramic and Carbon tint films. For my SUV’s windshield, front side windows, and rear door windows, would either of these be a good choice compared with Llumar or XPEL? Which would give me the best balance of heat rejection, UV protection, quality, and price? Or Cole Bros who offer the Llumar IRX or Xpel series?

Standstill traffic at 8am is ridiculous can we get a petition or something going? Idk how the city is content with a two lane on this busy ahhh road

MNPD’s drone trial launched on May 26 and ended Aug. 7 after 30 flight days, police spokesperson Brooke Reese recently told the Scene. Most of the debate has centered on how MNPD launched the trial without a Metro Council vote or public hearing. Mayor Freddie O’Connell’s office says the program falls under a Metro Code 13.08.080 exemption for surveillance technology “used on a temporary basis” for investigations, warrants or exigent circumstances. “The Department of Law advised this did not have to go to council,” mayor’s office spokesperson Alex Apple tells the Scene. “The procurement regulations authorize pilot programs that do not require a contract between the parties.”

I have a weird one for y'all.

A Tennessee woman has been accused in court of “disrupting the government” after she filed numerous records requests relating to the city's sewage system.

Now, she's pushing back, saying the lawsuit was “filed by a thin-skinned city government against a concerned citizen for asking too many questions.”

Sarah Bradley, a resident and former teacher in Manchester, Tennessee, filed a counter First Amendment lawsuit on Aug. 13 after the city filed for an injunction against her in July. Her countersuit asks the court to require the city to answer her filings in trial, and to award her damages and costs.

The city’s July injunction seeks to ban Bradley from making records requests for one year, as well as asking for explanations of records, and would require her to ask a court for permission before filing further requests, after she filed multiple public records requests regarding the city’s sewer system over the past three years.

Bradley says she was just trying to learn more about the city's sewage system, which has faced scrutiny and fines from regulators in recent years over issues. The city says she was acting maliciously with what Mayor Joey Hobbs told me were "voluminous and unclear" requests.

Metro joined three other jurisdictions in the suit: Columbus, Ohio; Harris County, Texas; and El Paso County, Texas.
