Nashville Thread, Now with info in the OP

is live on the green as awesome as it sounds? woman and I really want to see passion pit (again) and big data

 

I love going and try going to each one

head and the heart last year was amazing for me

 

Yeah for sure. Bring your own liquor or beer in a backpack because lines can be long. But ditch the lady and go solo

 

woof

 

Was in Atlanta yesterday and the only thing about Nashville I would change to emulate them is that age of consent game

 

I suppose this is as good a thread as any for Graham Greene talk since the book board ruined all book talk...anyways... Cornelius Suttree ...getting around to The Quiet American and The Comedians after a hiatus...what GG do you recommend beyond(here's my ranking so far)...1a A Burnt-Out Case 1b The Power and the Glory 3 Our Man in Havana 4 The End of the Affair

I'm halfway through TQA and I'm pretty sure it will be at least 3rd...read a page or two of The Comedians and I suspect it'll be top 3-4 as well...any comments or further GG recommendations?

 

A Gun for Sale and The Tenth Man. I still really need to read The Human Factor

 

Colin Firth reading The End of the Affair has popped my gf's GG cherry

Don't understand why he isn't more famous

I could have gone to Governor's Ball for the price they're charging but yeah I will probably still go. I just hope they make it clear which acts will be acoustic only because fuck that

So many hot high schoolers at Bridgestone for the imagine dragon concert

 

It looks like there will finally be an Indian option on the east side of town, as East Bollywood Indian Vegetarian restaurant is in the early stages of getting up and running. According to The East Nashvillian, restaurant owner Karin Dicker currently has a contract on the property at 2521 Gallatin Road, next to FooBar, with plans to open sometime in the spring of next year. She also plans to open a separate bar concept there called The Opium Den.

 

Ft Campbell to see a reduction of 350 troops over next two years. It had the potential to be thousands so that's really great news

how do you guys feel about this kind of bike lane?



also, have you guys seen the stairs from Demonbreun to the Gulch? or the new park under a Church Street underpass thing?

haven't laid eyes on these yet

that little park seems kinda worthless unless I am missing something which could easily be the case

 

T

Those stairs are part of the new 1201 demonbreun building, not just a random set of connecting stairs... But it's still pretty nice

 

is Dave Hart running the search for the new Metro Public Schools superintendent? One candidate had a reference refuse to endorse him for the position

this is why everyone is sending their kids to private schools or living in Williamson County

walked up those stairs last night on my way to whiskey kitchen..a bunch of construction in the gulch right now and I dont keep up with any of it. Going to red wine and zoo tomorrow see how that turns out

 

Katie Hill served as press secretary for Jim Cooper from around 2011-2013. She's going to be assistant press secretary at the White House. More Nashville people on CSPAN

 

Sisters in Dickson is soooo damn good

Amazing Southern food if you're out that way

 

Monell's was extra good today

 

so Willy Daunic is going to take over play-by-play duties for Preds TV broadcasts with Pete Weber getting relegated to radio duties

Willy is a boss so I'm happy for him. He is really smart and hardworking so I'm sure he'll do a great job

Seems as good a place as any to post this. The woman and I got a weekend off to ourselves and came up to gatlinburg. The cabin we got is the shit and only $400 for 3 nights. Check out this porch view from this place, you would never guess we were anywhere near the shit show that is gatlinburg.

 

Madison drug deal goes bad; suspect, victim pushed off cliff

Man shot, killed while standing in Hemritage garage

Man stabbed in south Nashville

Those are some headlines on WKRN.con

Used to be a quaint city we had here. Elect Trump to clean up this mess!

 

Well first consider the neighborhoods these are happening in....

 

Megan Barry got the endorsement from The Tennessean

http://www.tennessean.com/longform/...07/12/nashville-mayoral-endorsement/30017989/

freeman didn't make their top 3

 

also, David Fox is getting outside Conservative-Super Pac money placing ads for him


http://www.tennessean.com/story/new...e-super-pac-bankrolls-ads-david-fox/30081293/

 

I find it interesting the individuals on that editorial board have combined to live in this city for like 9 years. That endorsement means shit accordingly

But at least it wasn't for Freeman

 

I'm voting for Kane but would be happy as long as its not Fox or Freeman. Quit trying to buy the mayoral election you douche bags

 

I feel like Barry is a lot like Kane, just actually has a chance to win, so she prolly gets my vote

 

They are all on campus here at VU on the 16th

I'm going to rip into Freeman and I want to present Kane with a gift basket

I know Kane would like to decriminalize weed. I'll have to ask Barry about that

 

Barry, in backing the decriminalization of small amounts of marijuana, said that African-American men are affected the most by arrests

 

I'm giving blood at 5 this evening over at the Red Cross

They seem to have a pretty constant need for blood donations if anyone has some they would like to share

 

What is the point you are trying to make?

 

I copy and pasted it from an article

 

There is now a traffic light at Brookwood and White Bridge Rd by the Target parking lot across from Jersey Mike's. That's a good addition because it was almost impossible to turn left on either side there

The nurse who drew my blood is damn lucky the movie The Purge isn't real because I would be doing some terrible things to her during that week of anything goes

 

Oh okay. Thought you were trying to make a point about something. Moving on

 

about fucking time lol

 

went to Jack Brown's Burgers and Beers. Cool place, a big backyard, although mainly unused. Small patio and inside. Burgers were fucking good, fries too.

Service was weird. They don't have sections, so like 5 different waitresses came and tried to take our order for like 20 minutes. it was weird.

just got a regular cheeseburger and it was really good. 100% wagyu beef, steamed bun. pretty tasty
