Haha, they showed Superbad? One of my favorite movies but definitely not family friendly.  I'm surprised they showed it.

If they really want to show a disturbing non friendly movie filmed in Nashville, then they need to get their hands on a copy of Gummo. It was an independent film and supposed to be an Ohio town after a tornado. Most of it was filmed in the Nations & Sylvan Park area.

Third Ave. North Park in Salemtown update.  Looks complete, but still not open to public.

Missed this post two weeks ago. I had no idea, and I'm quite curious now - only hesitancy to watching immediately is that I like cats and especially the ones in my neighborhood :/. Just for fun, here are some stills from Gummo that I found online (on the left obviously) and current Google street views of the locations. Pretty much in my backyard (Charlotte & Morrow, and the substation at Morrow & 63rd). I guess the strip mall with the PepBoys and Save a Lot might not survive much longer, though. The power substation isn't going anywhere at least.

That movie is very difficult to find and not online. Just snippets here and there, but mostly West Nashville and the Nation's. Good Find. There are some up on Michigan Ave as well as Richland Park, and the Aldi's parking lot.

You are invited to join Metro Nashville Parks and Recreation and Mayor John Cooper in the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the redesigned and expanded Gulch Greenway at Asurion on Thursday, August 4th at 10:00 am.

This segment of the Gulch Greenway is a part of the new Asurion Headquarters and exemplifies a successful public-private partnership with the developer, Highwoods Properties, who funded and constructed the realignment and extension of the greenway trail along with canopy tree plantings, lighting, a water fountain and bicycle maintenance station, as well as a new vertical connection to Church Street overhead. A new mural installation sponsored by Asurion revitalizes the trailhead space.

Ceremony and remarks will take place at Gulch Greenway Trailhead at Asurion located under the Church Street Bridge on 11th Avenue North.

A new greenway link is being proposed between I440 near Centennial Park following an existing rail line owned by Cheatham County Rail Authority and connecting to Frankie Pearce Park in Capitol View.

You can take a survey here to let Metro Parks know your thoughts:

The Batey Farm properties purchased by Hendersonville and a nonprofit with the intent to turn the approximate 73 acres into a city park has a name and hopefully momentum in its development.

Heritage Park is the name approved by Hendersonville’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen after several steps.

The city owns the lower 35 acres of the property with a $3 million purchase in 2018. The goal at that time was to convert the former Batey Farm grounds to a passive park.

Friends of Indian Lake Peninsula bought the upper 38.41 acres for $1 million raised through donations from more than 800 donors.

Completed work includes:

• Hiking: 0.8 miles
• Multipurpose hiking and biking: 0.3 miles
• Mountain biking: 1.2 miles.
• Farm property mowed natural trail: 1 mile.

Long Hunter State Park, which is rather off the beaten path for most Nashvillians, is actually located in Davidson County, at least most of the acreage is in Davidson (the mailing address is Hermitage). It was a perfect day for a six mile walk. Photo evidence provided, just in case you didn’t believe me.

A huge dropoff queue for cars seems like an incredibly wasteful process for a school right in the middle of the city.

11th has been the queue since the school opened and the residents have complained since day one. I’m not sure why it’s allowed to start with.
