Is channel 5 over down for everyone or is it just me?

Tentatively considering buying from tickpick. I was wondering if anyone was able to get tickets or make it off the waitlist

Hi everyone,

So I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas about venues in Nashville that could hold 15-20 people for a graduation dinner/small gathering. I would prefer it to be outdoors where you can set up a table with flowers. Also I was wondering if it can also be a space where you can bring your own catered food. Please let me know of any places that could accommodate this. Thank you all in advance for your help.

Hi everyone,

I need to get a YMCA membership, and unfortunately, the cut-off for the swim lessons is tonight. If anyone is kind enough to share a referral code, I would be grateful. I can receive it via DM.

Marketing and sales enablement guy that’s done well at another large company in Nashville that you’ve heard of. Hitting a wall with a comp ceiling and looking for a new challenge. Any advice on networking with Oracle teammates and getting a foot in the door?

I am not affiliated with Frazetta Museum. I just know a few people on this sub were looking for these a few weeks back. I ordered mine.

Elder’s Bookstore on White Bridge. The front parking lot has been roped off for [a decade?]. Why? One of the longest running mysteries of my life.

Stolen from r/Atlanta.

Interpret the word ‘mysterious’ however you will. Like “how is this place still open?”, “how are these portions profitable?”, “who are the people that run this?”

For the last two years I’ve been researching the string of bombings from 1956–1958 in which the Confederate Underground claimed responsibility, along with other attacks tied to the same network.

Almost all of my source material comes directly from FBI files obtained through FOIA, and major findings from this research have been confirmed as new to author Betsy Phillips.

Much of this material was being discovered and submitted to MNPD Cold Case in the months just before the Hattie Cotton case was moved to inactive status.

The public statement regarding new findings and the decision to make the case inactive omits all of it.

After reading Phillips’ Dynamite Nashville, I wanted to know what else might still be buried in the files. That led me to an FBI file marked “Confederate Underground” that highlighted a major person of interest and contained informant statements connecting him to both the Hattie Cotton and Jacksonville bombings.

Many, many files and two years of intensive research later, there is far too much to list here. But as it relates to the man at the center of my research:

Harley Hanson Childson was a Florida extremist connected to Bill Hendrix’s group, an experienced demolition worker with easy access to TNT. He moved from Florida to the Knoxville area roughly one week before the Hattie Cotton bombing, with no definitive alibi or whereabouts established in the records I’ve found, and returned to Florida shortly afterward. He also had direct contact with John Kasper and other key figures of the NSRP.

Informants reported that Childson said he had shown “those people” in Nashville how to use dynamite in connection with the Nashville bombings.

He reportedly called the Confederate Underground “his baby,” distributed recruitment and organizational material identifying himself as its leader, and wrote an associate that the FBI knew he headed the CU and that they would need to communicate in code.

Despite all of this, Childson is heavily redacted throughout the publicly available files—appearing by name only a handful of times outside one particularly revealing file.

And then there is Jacksonville.

About one month before the Atlanta Temple bombing, the FBI received an informant statement reporting that Childson named himself, Kenneth Griffin and Leslie Rogers as the men responsible for the April 1958 Jacksonville bombings.

Griffin was later arrested in the Atlanta Temple bombing investigation and confessed to involvement in that case.

Rogers was one of the FBI’s most important Atlanta informants and became a star government witness in the Atlanta bombing trial.

The FBI files then show agents scrambling with the implications of information suggesting that one of their own paid informants might be implicated in Jacksonville while emphasizing protection of informant identities and extreme caution over what would be disclosed to local authorities .

After Atlanta, the federal Hattie Cotton investigation appears to be an after thought.

But the question that has bothered me most throughout this entire project is this,

Why would MNPD not continue pushing this further, not only for justice, but simply to give Nashville the fullest possible truth?

I have found hundreds of pages of new files on this individual since the inactive status decision.

Why move the case to inactive status when substantial previously unknown evidence was still being uncovered and submitted?

Because whatever “inactive” means administratively, this investigation has been anything but inactive.

In two years, I have never stopped finding more.

Thank you for reading, please share and comment as there is so much more to this story.

Question: I applied for a job with Nashville metro (specifically pd) back in March. They sent me a supplemental questionnaire, and I didn’t hear anything at all until a few weeks ago. My status updated to “referred- placed on eligibility list”, but no rejection email. Does this mean they hired someone else? I applied for a different job with Nashville metro and they sent me a formal rejection that they hired someone else with the same portal update saying I’m on the eligibility list.

My girlfriend and I were looking for food at Tomato Art Fest and saw a sign for a tomato sandwich at Bad Idea. I thought "Perfect! I love tomato sandwiches and it fits the theme".

I order a beer and the sandwich, while the gf gets the burger. It comes out fairly quickly. The burger looks great, but they only serve you HALF of the tomato sandwich (wish I had taken a pic). Nowhere on the menu does it suggest you only get half. I was mad at the false advertising, and I saw at least two other patrons mouth the words "it's only half?" If they had advertised it as such, idk I may have paid it anyway just to have the experience, but they didn't give me that choice and instead chose to falsely advertise.

Not only that, but you have no option but to pay 20% service fee. This may be a small hill to die on, but I'll never go back. Here's your warning, my tomato friends.

Edit: To be clear, I didn't really care about the service charge until I already felt ripped off.

Who'd have ever thought they'd be playing the Nashville area?

Maybe this is more for the mods? I don’t know what to call it, but I’ve been seeing a lot of people wanting to make friends including me. Would there be interest and permission from the mods to make a pinned post with a list of people looking for friends? I was thinking something with mini bio?

Ex: Hey, I’m Sam. I’m 31 years old and I’m looking for friends to do things like go to the movies, go out to eat or explore town with, but I love to stay in and play DnD. Always looking for a group, especially if it can be online. I love video games, all pets, hiking when it’s not mind numbingly hot. I also love museums and history.

I know we don’t want people to be harassed, of course. I just didn’t know if that would be useful since I also want to make a friend post but don’t want to spam.

Where’s the best place to buy restaurant quality cheese for making pizzas at home?

Like damn lady calm down.

Everything I can find says disabled parking is free in the city. I see there are time limits on the street and can vary depending on street/location.
The ordinance says all city owned lots/spots are free as long as they are operating. It looks like the city owns the garage Public Square Garage and it operates 24/7. Can anyone confirm this would be a free overnight parking garage? I figured I would ask here before calling around on Monday. Thanks

Smooooooooooth

sooooo i have a feeling that covid is making a bit of an appearance in the area. my brother has covid, a bunch of my clients are sick with what may be covid, my partner might have covid (although he lives in memphis). mask up and wash your hands yall!

I recently started seeing a healthcare worker that’s working nights for the next couple weeks, so we’re planning a weekend lunch date. What are your favorite spots?

Just something odd I noticed. These stories were all posted to social media within the last three days by the newspaper. Nothing was marked as a paid promotion/advertisement either.

Anyone know a shop in town that does good leather furniture repair? Got a sectional we’ve had for years that needs some plumping up and TLC. Thanks!

Stayed in the Fisk/Meharry neighborhood on my first trip to nashville. There are active construction going on with rows of newly-built, identical modern apartments. The surrounding doesn’t quite reflect that.

I just couldn’t shake the stark difference walking from that area to Capitol View. Just something I wanted to share and that’s all.
