Two rezonings dominated Tuesday’s Metro Council meeting: An Urban Design Overlay in The Nations, and a logistics warehouse on Franklin Limestone Road. What did public comment teach us about neighborhood outreach in Nashville? District 29 Councilmember Tasha Ellis joins host Marie Cecile Anderson and executive producer Whitney Pastorek to explain why she voted no on the UDO, and how she’s hoping to kill the noise from loud cars on our streets. Plus, breaking news about the Tesla Tunnels potentially going under the Music City Center, and why Hayley Williams’ new video for “Ego Death At a Bachelorette Party” is giving us hope.
