Five years ago today, we awoke to one of the strangest Christmases ever in Nashville that left a historic part of the city badly damaged.
Today, we can be encouraged by the process of rebuilding and recovery that has left some things—while different—better above ground and below.

It has been nearly five years since a suicide bombing on Christmas altered the architecture and identity of Nashville’s Second Avenue. With a reopening next week, the street is coming back.

One of the reasons we started posting weekly events calendars at @nashville.gov was to highlight how many great—often free—things for kids of all ages are happening around the city in public spaces, often easy to access.
Being a parent in Nashville you realize how few great places there in this city that are free and easy to take your kids.
The downtown library was one of them, and we sorely miss it.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Today I’m especially thankful for those who keep the world working even on holidays and those who work every day to make the world just a little better (best of all when that includes acts of kindness).

We invited you to share acts of kindness. The topics include new shoes, a basket of berries that aren't very tasty and an unexpected twist for someone treating the person behind them in line. n.pr/4iqqWWw
Our readers' tales of kindness will surprise you, warm your heart and make you smile
