None that I know of.
Grateful to volunteer this holiday season with the MNPd Christmas Basket Program alongside my colleague @erinfor12.bsky.social. A great reminder of the power of service and community during the holidays.
As we gather in gratitude today, letβs also remember those who may be facing challenges this season. May we continue to look out for one another and build a community where everyone feels supported.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families.
Just wondering if @freddieoconnell.bsky.social will do a concert with David Guetta?
βorganizers told the Banner they had secured βmore than enoughβ signatures to initiate a recall of Horton but declined to submit them out of fear of retribution. A group representative would not allow the Banner to review the signatures to confirm the amount.β

β’ Great-grandfather Jasper Fortney β Pacific, WWII
Their courage reminds me that freedom is never free. #VeteransDay #Nashville

Davidson County District Attorney Glenn Funk said the immigration crackdowns ultimately βmake Nashville a more dangerous place to live.β Victims afraid to report crimes or prosecute criminals means offenders, including violent ones-continue to perpetrate crime. Story from @anitawadhwani.bsky.social.
I really enjoyed being on todayβs show and discussing the Metro Seal and Flag!
This was the best one, the rest were questionable haha

I sat down with @citycastnash.bsky.social to discuss the history of Metro's Seal & Flag, and how we might reimagine them to reflect who we are today.
The episode airs on 10/8. Tune in and share your thoughts.

I'm looking for people to meet, events to attend and stories to tell in the 37217 ZIP code (Percy Priest, Smith Springs, Nashboro Village, part of Murfreesboro Pike and south side of the airport). If you know of anything I should check out in the area, please let me know.
π³ Excited to see nearly 500 new trees coming to Murfreesboro Pike!
This effort will grow our tree canopy, improve the environment & make the area more inviting for all. π±
