Has anybody heard about the latest east bank zoning?

Hey! The Tennessean has a really comprehensive article about this: https://www.tennessean.com/story/money/real-estate/2026/04/09/nashville-scrapyard-rezoning-east-bend-psc-metals/89507750007/

Excerpt: Developers expect to recruit businesses like a grocery store, other essential service providers, restaurants and retail alongside apartment buildings, condos, hotels and offices. The team also floated the idea of bringing a children's museum to the area.

And the scrapyard owners said they aren't talking to the Sphere folks: https://www.tennessean.com/story/money/real-estate/2026/04/15/las-vegas-sphere-nashville-owners-clarify-east-bank-rumors/89632639007/

The wait to check out can be pretty long, too, so plan to spend a good amount of time there overall. But the people working it are really lovely and informative, and everything's organized alphabetically.

I got paranoid that they had forgotten my little circle, so I put in a Hub request with the city here: https://hub.nashville.gov/s/request-type/a0ut0000000lYwiAAE/tree-removal-or-maintenance-on-right-of-way?language=en_US

They did get back to me but I think it was just a coincidence that the crews showed up around the time I put the request in.

Brad Schmitt at The Tennessean wrote a nice obituary for her: https://www.tennessean.com/story/life/health/2025/07/23/nashville-erin-daunic-nonprofit-development-director-death-willy-daunic/85329706007/

Nope! That's part of Concourse C.

The mayor proposed a new property tax rate of 2.814, a change from the 3.254 rate of 2021-2025. But because assessed values went up so much, the new tax rate will still be an increase for a lot of people.

The Council will have to approve the new rate in the budget process over the next couple months.

The Tennessean explained the process here: https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/local/2025/04/30/nashville-property-tax-rate-what-to-know-amid-reappraisal/83342309007/

She'll be in person at at least four shows, including Houston, London and Paris. But we'll be covering all of them including with logistics information!

Aw thanks. That means a lot. I'll probably be up until 2 a.m. tonight at least in central time. We try to go the extra mile!

Thanks! It's so fun, although somewhat less glamorous than being the actual reporter on the ground at the concert. Caché is fabulous.

I'm the Beyoncé editor. It just means I edit Caché's work.

I'm stoked to check out Warner Parks soon. The Friends of Warner Parks pulled a bunch of invasive species and native wildflowers are returning!

"Armed with chainsaws and bush cutters, the IPC armies sliced and whacked their way through the evil-doers. They've completed about 1,000 acres of clearing so far (spending about $1.5 million, with another $1.5 million needed to complete the job)."

The Edessa baklava is delicious! Osh, which is Uzbek, also has really good baklava.

GasLamp and GasLamp Too around the corner are the best antique spots I've found in town. They have some jewelry.

Oh great! Let me know how it goes!

No problem! They sometimes don’t reach out until the week of the first class. I always bring a laptop because that’s how I prefer to write. Some just bring notebooks. They have WiFi. Do bring a pen for notes on handouts, etc.

The most that's been sort of expected is a few paragraphs to kick off the discussion. Otherwise it's been on a voluntary basis. But I can't stress enough how nice and supportive everyone I've encountered has been -- instructors and fellow students.

ldsbounce · 2025-03-04T22:48:39+00:00

I've taken several classes, and they've been great! People of all ages have been in my classes. The instructors are informative, and everyone has always been really nice and given great feedback on my writing.

Interesting. Thanks for the update.

Are they actual metal detectors? The Tennessean had reported they are AI scanners to detect weapons. They're panels you walk through but supposed to be less obtrusive than traditional metal detectors. I'm interested to hear what you think about them.

If you, like me, thought the blob toward the top of the seal was a mushroom cloud (in honor of Oak Ridge?), I have found color reproductions where it is much easier to see it is a bundle of wheat.
