Nashville Says No to Data Centers. Plus, How Many Airport Boards Do We Have?
Metro Council didn’t gavel out until 1:48 a.m. this week, so long was the list of residents who signed up to speak in favor of restricting data centers in Nashville. On today’s Friday News Roundup, creative producer Marie Cecile Anderson and executive producer Whitney Pastorek salute the civic energy and get into what happens next. Plus, BNA now has two boards! We’re getting a new Complete Street! Greek fro-yo is having a moment! They’re fundraising to cover up some awful graffiti in East Nashville! And in our bonus segment only for City Cast Nashville Neighbors, Hell Naw, we’re calling out Marsha Blackburn’s stupid racist campaign ad.
