NES incompetence caused several people to freeze to death in their homes. They knew the electricity wasn’t coming back on but they withheld that info so ppl stayed and froze in their homes. CEO kept her job. Now they’re taking revenge on all of Nashville by indiscriminately mauling our trees.

Then, after last winter’s ice storm, the city sent a crew to trim our trees. They did so under an absurd new policy that basically ravages the trees. www.wkrn.com/news/local-n...

Spring Hill, TN I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how many new exurban neighborhoods have 20mph speed limits.

20 mph speed limits are one those things where if a courageous mayor just did it—ahem, @mayor.nyc.gov—there would be a month of screaming before implementation and then it wouldn't take long before people forgot it was ever any different. (See also: congestion pricing, smoking bans, etc.)

Hey East Nashville, our fur baby prudence got outside on Sunday night and has been missing since then. She is very shy and skittish. We live in the little Hollywood section of Lockeland Springs, off the fairway of hole 12 on the Shelby golf course. If you see her, please DM me! 🦞
