Just over 11 years since I saw Dolly at the Ryman, to this day one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. From a cappella Little Sparrow to a bad ass electric guitar medley, she was beautifully brilliant and such a joy. 🦋

Lee & hand-picked, unelected board are already trying to maximize profits for toll lane pals by quietly expanding toll lanes further into Nashville’s core, worsening traffic and lengthening an already 7-year construction boondoggle planned for I-24. Public comment needed at 1:45 today at TN Tower!

Judah & the Lion giving me life on this Tuesday afternoon, Grimey’s in-stores are always worth risking Gallatin ❤️👏 (Their new album is awesome btw.)

Two men performing on a small stage in a record store, one playing mandolin and the other playing guitar, both singing

Scenes from today’s walk at the Percy Priest Dam. Whenever the flood gates are open, I am reminded of a story about three men who planned to blow up the dam. Once destroyed, they expected the water to flow into and flood downtown Nashville. Once Broadway was flooded, they planned to dive into 1/3

Really @freddieoconnell.bsky.social? I kept the context because I’m a reasonable person, but come on, this visual, along with zero mention elsewhere in the “Nashville This Week” summary that people were mowed down on Broadway, not great. Even had an opening w/the LiDAR mention further down.

Top headline on mayor’s weekly email is “Serious About Safety,” in the context of crime statistics At end of crime stat section, sentence reads a mayor’s top job is to keep people safeSection about tech on lower Broadway mentions goal to keep pedestrians safe when crowds are heaviest

The live news feed of downtown where the pedestrian was killed is maybe not a great idea. Reporters and politicians walking around with that weird giddy adrenaline at a story.
