View all City Cast Nashville episodes

In a city where neighborhoods are begging for sidewalks, the residents of Belle Meade Boulevard are suing to stop one. Plus, the state is still trying to cut our Metro Council in half, Ag Day on the Hill was once again a classic photo opportunity (click here to see the photo of Gov. Bill Lee referenced in the episode), and we’re updating you on the bills that caught our eye in the TNLeg this week. Nashville Scene columnist and City Cast Nashville contributor Nicole Williams joins host Marie Cecile Anderson and executive producer Whitney Pastorek to help make sense of it all.
