Severe Weather and Metro Council Updates. Plus, Nashville Pays To Repair a McDonald’s
It’s been a crazy weather week that’s still not over. On today’s Friday News Roundup, host Marie Cecile Anderson, executive producer Whitney Pastorek, and Metro Council contributor Nicole Williams catch you up on our storms and flooding, discuss the financial settlements reached at Tuesday’s Metro Council meeting, and with the State of the City address on the horizon, we discuss what we’d like to hear from our mayor.
And hey! Weather permitting, today is the first night of Fridays By the River, presented by City Cast Nashville! Come say hi!
Learn more about the controversy at Nashville General Hospital here.
