Is that a temporary location for the rental car counters?  That floor?  Carpeting has been ripped up, right? I'm not a design critic, but if that's intentional, it's hideous.

The rental counters will move back to level one when the renovations there are completed in 2023.

Today this morning from Facebook BNA. 

Long walk to terminal!

Terminal Lot A is OPEN at a rate of $9/day! Please note that Lot A is a park-and-walk lot (no buses shuttle service). If you see these pavement markings and signs on the designated walk path, you'll know you're on approach to the terminal. The path runs alongside the rental car facility.

ALSO OPEN:
Terminal Garage: Temporary reduced rate of $16/day 
Valet: Temporary reduced rate of $22/day

TIP: When you arrive at BNA, look for digital signs that show parking status and availability, or visit flynashville.com for real-time updates.

Well, they didn't have much of an option. I flew back in from STL on Memorial Day and there was just barely more than 500 spaces available.

Looking for JetBlue? The ticket counter has moved to the new North Terminal Wing (far north end of the Ticketing Lobby, past the Allegiant and WestJet counters). 

Other airlines located there: United, Frontier Airlines, Spirit Airlines and Air Canada. #FlyNashville

See map for the routes to the new Valet entrance and the public parking entrance at Terminal Garage 1.

I don't mean this as a mockery or anything, but he appears to almost have some signs of Dwarfism.   If the adult height is 4'10" or less...it usually signifies that.  Not sure how tall he is...but I'd say he's close to that (not that there's anything wrong with that.)

Could explain why he has "Lollipop Guild" mentioned as one of his professional memberships.

Two garages. Thousands of covered parking spaces convenient to the terminal. And they're nice to look at, too.

My BNA carpet doormat arrived this morning.  It looks good.  I still wish BNA kept its carpet, but at least I now have a fun souvenir of this quirky feature of old BNA.
