If you’ve been down here, the area around the Kroger on 8th Ave is already chaotic at all points of the day. So color me surprised that an In&Out is jumping into the fray. 

This area already has 5x the national average of accidents, and clearly no one seems to care. I know it’s a state road, but that doesn’t mean anything when it comes to conditional approval. For example, the Madison In&Out had to pay $300k towards infrastructure improvements around the area. If they had to do it there, why wouldn’t they also be required to do it here too?

Because idk if Berry Hill/Metro will make them. This is one of the worst Chickfila locations ever, constantly causing jams, and making the overall area super unsafe. You know what they had to do to get their location there? 8ft sidewalk. That’s it. It’s a nightmare there and now another high traffic fast food place is moving there too.

I’m not opposed to the restaurant moving in actually. I’m excited to see this end of Nashville growing up. But no one is taking ownership of what needs to happen here, and it’s cringe. What does Reddit think? 

Well you can let them know here:

I am a bit surprised about how weak Star Trek storytelling can be if it can’t include time travel or an omnipotent being or a mirror universe to drive the story. Really looking for something to listen to that scratches the “typical TNG episode” itch while I am working.

Anyone have any recommendations? I mean I guess it doesn’t have to be on YouTube if it’s really good. Here are some I found, but haven’t started yet:

The Devil’s Heart
Kahless
Federation
Contamination
Nightshade

I noticed these all focus around the enterprise crew. It really doesn’t have to be about them, just a good plot during that time period that has at least some exploration, subterfuge, or whatever.

Seems like people here and on other social media really dislike him. Granted, this may be a goomba fallacy, but I had a bizarre experience here the other night on the topic of our mayor that left me puzzled more than anything. I kinda want to just open a discussion for a larger group of people.

“He’s pro-data centers/he’s not doing enough to stop them” looking this up the timeline shows that he attended an event that announced a master plan that included a data center, a month later did an executive action freezing data centers, and supports the action to eminent domain the one by the zoo. Idk it just sounds like he responded to outcry on a new issue facing Nashville.

“He cut funding to schools and fired teachers” I remember in 2019-2021 this was a major issue. But since he’s taken office, budgets have grown for schools, with a 13% increase for this year. 

“Freddy’s not putting the people first” idk what to tell you man, the past 2 years have been pretty standard progress. However, after Mandami was elected, there seems to be a lot of pressure for him to deliver. Look at his social media, he’s straight up copying him.

On top of all of this, infrastructure under him seems to have been pretty successful. When I am out touching grass, I see roadwork projects with big signs saying “project of the mayor”.

I’m not here to glug-glug glaze him, as there* is a lot to criticize about his internal management of departments and how ICE was handled, but there’s some wild hate when there’s clear and documented successes in Nashville. Is this just what American politics is now, hating the incumbent no matter what?
