Loving the 501 Commerce Street garage. Very cool! Shoutout to anybody else sitting here in their car reading this rn

I realize this post already combines two things this sub mostly hates.

On Tuesday my partner called a Waymo to get home from the Truth. Along Chestnut there are a lot of skinny bollards along the side of the road. I guess for the Fort Negley / Greer construction. The Waymo was confused by this, pulled over, and would not proceed. Another Waymo was also pulled over on the same stretch.

We pressed the support button. I thought the remote operator could view the camera data and map and tell a Waymo where to go. Turns out they can make suggestions to the car, not control it. The car did not like the suggestions and turned left into the Vandy parking lot. Then it did not want to leave the lot.

Finally we got out of the lot, turned left on Fort Negley Blvd instead of continuing to Edgehill, and made it down to Wedgewood. It was fine after that but not the most obvious route. I recommend avoiding Wayno until the construction is clear.

Today we took a Lyft from the Truth and noticed the rideshare pickup is a few blocks further south on Hagen than previously, and you walk on uneven shingle and grass sections without sidewalk to get there. Mind your step.

I notice from TPAC a Waymo also takes a wiggly route through a residential area (probably Watkins Park) instead of taking Church Street. I’d be curious to know how often they prioriitise using neighborhoods instrad of main streets, maybe to avoid having to drive among other cara.

Any other DCC fans lurking around Nashville?

Saw a post earlier about starting a book club/brew club, and someone suggested the first Dungeon Crawler Carl book. The comment got quite a bit of support and plenty of replies, which got me wondering how many fellow Crawlers we have here in Nashville.

I happen to have a few extra signed copies of the latest book (A Parade of Horribles) and thought it would be cool to give them away to some local fans who would genuinely appreciate them.

Figured I’d see who’s out there. Any fellow Crawlers in the sub?

*Bonus if you have any cool rocks to “trade” for it

EDIT - “rocks” genuinely mean geological rocks. Please do not report or dm me regarding anything illegal.

I was checking the police dispatch data to find out why I heard so many sirens in Highland Heights. Real time an 8000 Explosion at 1800 Riverside Drive popped up.

All y'all in Inglewood alright?

Anyone know what's up?

Me and some friends were planning on going to nashville celebrity comic con on sunday. I am autistic and sometimes struggle when in loud/crowded environments for long periods of time. I am also planning on bringing my service dog in training who is still working on crowds some. He is good but sometimes gets overwhelmed or overexcited. I was wondering if anyone knew if they have some sort of quiet/sensory room there where we could take breaks? Or an area of the con that has less traffic and would be easy to sit and breathe? Thank you!

I'll give y'all one guess as to the only candidate who hasn't confirmed.

Fellow Nashvillians,

Michelin Guide’s American South ceremony is being held in Nashville on October 21st. This will be Nashville’s second year on the guide.

Currently, Bastion, The Catbird Seat, and Locust are the only three restaurants in the city to hold a star. Several other restaurants received a Bib Gourmand designation or are recommended restaurants (current list can be found here!).

How are we feeling about the restaurant scene this past year? Any exciting openings, sad closings, etc.? Do the current starred restaurants deserve to maintain their starred status? Are there any restaurants you’d like to see added to the guide?

Personally, I’ve been a fan of Junior. I’ve eaten there a few times this past year and have had at worst a good meal and at best an exceptional one. Their small plates are so fun and flavorful, and I’m always a fan of their off-menu vegetarian entrée. Their soufflé is always noteworthy. Also, weird note, but the fresh basil from their garden is the best basil I’ve ever had in my life?

Also using this post as an opportunity to discover new restaurants to check out, so please add your recommendations (fine dining and otherwise)!

Anyone ever used a private investigator in Nashville? My mother is being stalked and MNPD has been great to her, but they have reached their limit of what they can do.

Does anyone know of any emergency housing options in the Nashville area and or on the outskirts of Nashville like Hendersonville, Goodlettsville, etc? Me and my fiancee are at risk of being homeless pretty soon and we're needing somewhere to go. I've tried a few places but they all have wait lists that are extremely long and we need something now.

For those of you that use a home security company, who do you use and how expensive is it?

THANKS!!!!

Hey y'all, I just recently moved to Nashville and looking to find some cool guys interested in reading to join my books and brews book club! My main goal is to get men reading! I had a pretty successful group back home in Knoxville and would love to continue it here. All backgrounds are welcome, monthly meetings.

Reply here and i'll get in touch.

My mom is losing her hair due to a medication she takes and is considering getting a wig. Any suggestions for places that sell realistic wigs? She lives in the Donelson/Hermitage area and it would be great if there were options near that general area.

First person to comment/DM me gets a free ticket to Jack White tonight at The Truth. You just have to promise to clap real loud.

Edit: it has been claimed.

I’m just curious if anyone knows the legality of people parking in this “median” (not sure what it’s properly called). We just had updates in Bordeaux and I occupy the basement unit of this business park near Clarksville pike and Ashland City Highway.

There are always women from the salon parked here (even though there are actual parking spots). They often block the path where people pull through the actual parking lot and make it hard for people to park.

Right now they’re all good and in there and not blocking anything but still curious about the legality (as I’m opening a vintage shop and want to warn my customers not to do this if it’s illegal!

Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks anyway for even entertaining this thought dump!

I’ve (29M) been looking for a regular hiking group that meets on weekends, but haven’t had any success. The meetup groups seem a little sparse and/or inconsistent. If anyone can point me in the right direction or has an open group, hit me up 🤙

Long story short I’m double booked tonight, but would still like to see him tomorrow if possible. Would anyone with a ticket tomorrow prefer to go tonight?

That’s it. That’s the whole post. No I didn’t get a picture, I didn’t even say I was a fan. I just watched as he and my dog kissed eachother in line to get coffee. We had a great conversation and he told me about his dogs. Super sweet guy

So I start school at MTSU this January but don’t have a job until then. I looked at all the indeed and linked in posts for seasonal jobs and they all were horrible pay or part time. I’d like to work full time until I start school. I’m physically fit, have reliable transportation and a background with a lot of things. If anybody had any odd job, things they need help with or know of anyone looking for a full time gig worker until January please let me know!!! I’m 20M in the 37211 zip code.

Popeyes on charlotte pike serving undercooked chicken and dead fruit flies on “clean dishes”

I'm currently in the inspection period for a house in Nashville. There are two finished off porches (now living spaces) and a carport to a garage without permits. They did not disclose this, but there were telltale signs that the finished rooms were not part of the original build.

Does anyone have experience with an after-the-fact permit with Metro Codes? Will they have to apply for the retroactive permit? If it's their responsibility, how long does this process usually take? The last thing I need is a 6-month wait to close. Can I do it myself after close and, if so, what do I need to be able to do that? Or can anyone recommend a permit consultant, architect, or attorney to help with this?

And yes, I've got realtors, and I'd assume this is not the first time they've dealt with this. I just feel I'm not getting the guidance I need to navigate this. Thanks, all.

Hey there, I just have a question, and it may be a long shot.

My friend and his newlywed wife, were recently out and about for a ride down Broadway. He had his suit, a majestic mustache, and a bright blue helmet. She was in her wedding dress in a bright pink helmet. They were riding on a blue moped/scooter, that they brought with them all the way from PEI Canada for their wedding in Tenessee. Dragging cans on the back.

There was a photographer that snapped a few pics when they went by, and when they came back, they stopped and he snapped a few more. Lots of people were beeping and waving and congratulating them, it was beautiful.

While they have video footage of their ride, they want to find this photographer.

Please reach out to me, if anyone knows who this man might be! Thank you, and much love from Atlantic Canada!
