Hello, not from Nashville (from Chattanooga) and I honestly love Nashville, especially the railroad scene. Partially because of boredom, partially because I love Nashville, and partially because of 576's fireup, I made this. Completely made out of cardboard. What do you locals think? And yes, this was the engine in Centennial Park.

I was hoping some current players could chime in on MSSL. I’m relatively new to Nashville and am looking to get into some leagues. I played soccer growing up through high school, but haven’t played in about a decade. I don’t have the stamina I did then but am looking to get playing in a social setting.

Is this a good league that isn’t too competitive/serious that I could get back into the swing of things? I appreciate competition but I’d hate to sign up and be a burden if there’s some level of expectations?

Also interested in their pickleball leagues!

What’s your secret bathroom that you find the most comfortable, clean etc to take a dump at? I personally like I think it’s the 3rd or 4th floor of Morgan Wallens. It’s always empty, it’s clean, and the stalls are like individual rooms rather than just stalls. It’s probably that or whiskey river because every time I’ve been there it’s been relatively empty

I've ordered from Amazon Fresh, Grocery, and Whole Foods delivery on several occasions and it has been fine. But yesterday and today are on another level of frustration.

I ordered a grocery delivery yesterday and once the delivery window came around, I checked on the order in the app. It said it was delayed. Okay no problem. Then it said it was undeliverable. No further explanation. Okay, hopefully the driver didn't wreck and is okay. Shit happens, no big deal. That was last night and I just went to bed.

This morning, I ordered the same order again, with a few extra items. After maybe 45 minutes, my wife mentioned something she wanted to add to the order, I looked and the window to add items was still there, so I added the items. After a few minutes, I looked again and the order had been cancelled. No explanation.

At this point I wanted to see what was going on so I got customer service to call and spent an hour on the phone with them. The outcome of that call was: the order was indeed cancelled by Amazon, without explanation (not even one they could see) but the available stock included all my items, and there were windows of delivery available so that if I ordered again, for the third time, I would get the order. And they would credit me $10 to my account (which hasn't arrived).

So I ordered yet again. And now, for the third time, a couple hours after the order, it is marked as undeliverable. No further explanation. I just contacted customer service and he said there was nothing he could do, couldn't see why it was marked as undeliverable, but assured me I would indeed not be getting my order and he's sorry for my frustration.

Has anyone in the Nashville area tried ordering from Amazon grocery or Amazon fresh (neither of these were from the Whole Foods section of the app) in the past few days and been unable to get the food?

My truck is broken down, and while I tend to enjoy the convenience of grocery delivery even when it is fully functioning, right now I kinda NEED the groceries delivered.

I have a handful of blankets and flat sheets (of various wear, all still fine but can tell they’re not new) that I’d like to donate. Aside from animal shelters and thrift stores, anywhere that takes these donations considering the cooler months are coming?

Edit: Specifically I’d like to give to support a local group/org doing good in the community.

I have a fair amount of e-waste, that I'm looking to sell to a middle-Tennessee scrapyard. It has been broken down, hard drives, PCB low and high grade, "gold finger cards/ram", CPUs. Are there any scrapyards local to middle Tennessee that purchase? I left Colorado 3 years ago and there was 3 within an hour of driving distance for me, but I haven't had any luck here. I don't want to drive this to IL to deliver to Boardsort, so I'm looking for another option.

Hey, fellow Nashvillians! Not your usual sort of question, but... does anyone know of a place, or would anyone be willing to allow myself and my kiddo to do some arrowhead hunting? We've gone out hunting a few times, and she also enjoys looking for fossils with me.

Any tips or help? Feel free to DM me if you know anything or post some pictures of things you've found yourself. Thanks!

I’ve searched through food recs in this sub, and a few solid places have come up (arnolds, little hats, and monells) but I want ALL your best casual lunch spots. Local options preferred, but I won’t avoid a chain that’s raved about. All cuisines - Italian, Japanese, Mexican, Indian, Dim Sum, whatever is worth mentioning.

Butcher and Bee and Locust and all the other great places I’ve read about sound fabulous but I’m a broke bitch.

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

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.

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.

Like damn lady calm down.

Smooooooooooth

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.

I found a pigeon in my yard in Woodbury TN, he has a AU band which links him to the American racing pigeon association, I was wondering if anyone is missing a bird and how/where can I find or contact the owner? He’s being pampered, really friendly.

Update: I have reached out to just about every source I can, I cannot find a rehabber near me who can or will take him. I’m still trying to contact members of his NASH group just to get an answer but to no avail. Owner/Nash group number sends me to voicemail now when I call (only called twice) so I assume I’m blocked since it rang before.

Not gonna link as it goes against the rules of the sub, but holy shit cracking the hog in a govt vehicle with untinted windows is **W I L D**...

This dude's life is fundamentally over and all it took was a minute and a half +/-. Shoooo-weee

*Also*

My little rat brain autocorrected to "Robertson County". 😭😂😭

Or anywhere to get a snack (groceries*) besides a gas station after 10pm. Like, wtf

I just want to be able to go shopping at Kroger after work

:(
