On today’s Friday News Roundup, producer Marie Cecile Anderson and EP Whitney Pastorek are joined by City Cast Nashville contributor and Metro Council columnist Nicole Williams, who’s helping us celebrate the current Metro Council’s first year in office by grading their progress. We’ve also got info on the sticky situation unfolding at the Belle Meade Historic Site and Winery — where the creator of their acclaimed “Journey to Jubilee” tour says her work is being altered to make white folks more comfortable — and a roundup of trusted nonprofits and mutual aid orgs you should consider donating to as recovery from the devastation of Hurricane Helene continues in the eastern part of our state.
And stick around after the roundup for our Don’t Go Gently tip for the weekend, presented by our exclusive launch sponsor, Tecovas. Nashville Oktoberfest takes over Germantown this weekend! It’s the longest continually running party in the Southeast, slinging beers, brats, and schnitzel since 1980. General admission tickets start at $10 — beer and food is extra — and don’t miss the Dachshund Derby on Sunday in Bicentennial Park. We recommend a rideshare for this event, since parking is bonkers and you’ll probably be imbibing. Make good choices and have fun! And hey — don’t go gently, go in Tecovas!
The deadline to register to vote for November’s Federal and State election is Oct. 7. Register, check your status, or update your information at govotetn.com.

Did you know that Nashville has nearly 100 miles of greenways? In this episode, we’re joined by Vice Mayor Angie Henderson to discuss one of her passions — Nashville’s greenways. These essential pathways do more than provide recreation; they link parks, neighborhoods, libraries, schools, and even play a role in the city’s transportation network. We discuss the expansion of Metro’s greenway system, the challenges of accessibility, and the efforts to make these spaces safer and more interconnected. Plus, the Vice Mayor shares her favorite greenways and why they’re such valuable assets to Nashville's community.
