Elon Musk's Free Parking Lot, Chili's Boots, and We Saw the Dolly Musical!
The State Building Commission just granted a two-year lease to Elon Musk’s The Boring Company to start their Tesla tunnel to BNA, and local leaders are starting to push back. Since we’re also wondering what local rideshare drivers think about this project, we invited our friend Chris Williams to join host Marie Cecile Anderson and executive producer Whitney Pastorek for today’s Friday News Roundup. Plus, a controversial execution is scheduled for next week, the election to replace Mark Green is set, we kinda want Booth Boots, and Marie saw the Dolly Musical.
