I mostly talk about living intentionally in South Nashville. Former NYC and Nashville educator.
I see there is a plan to add more trees. I truly love my neighbors. Youth & teens hang out in my backyard for firepit. We go to each other’s homes for dinner. If ya have suggestions let me know as we have no driveways. Pic from Mon. dinner when I took 3 teens temp living w/ me to my neighbors 3/3 ❤️

Ahhh it makes sense now! The street sweeping program is a way to give tickets for expired tags not just ticket and tow for not moving your car. Again, we do not have signs to remind people!

Coming to your neighborhood soon?? No where else in the city is NDOT ticketing for expired tags in neighborhoods. I live in Napier area. Two of my neighbors were ticketed last week. We have NO DRIVEWAYS!Plus the BnB’s on our street. This doesn’t feel good. It needs to stop!

This! My neighbor said this! In NYC after a couple tickets you got booted and then towed. I referenced that and NDOT’s response was the pilot time is now over. Not to mention the three airbnbs on our small block. There is also a monthly team that cleans the street. What is this really about?!

This was 2wks ago! An abandoned car was towed. I appreciate NDOT tried to contact the owner for weeks, I get that; however in a month this could be my car or my neighbors’ car if we forget to move our car by 8am! Some have low income & we have no driveways. Towing is excessive! Why Napier area?!

…some elected off. are sadly the obstacle too. Most do a lot of good & then theres a defining MOMENT or two where elected officials have power to make change to laws/initiatives; ex: st. sweeping towing will disproportionately affect neighbors (esp. public housing).Posting for awareness & a reminder

2 yrs ago my friend DJ @urbaneastnash.bsky.social asked if we needed pumpkins for youth. I said yes but initially I didn’t realize the power of a pumpkin, now I do 🧡He is collecting funds again so that over 100 youth can have one. Consider sacrificing one pumpkin latte this week & donate $10 🙏🏾

My first vlog and its about moving my car to comply w/new street cleaning times & avoid a citation. I found out that around 11am one of my neighbors got one. 😬 NDOT pls don’t tow as folks forget. It’s been a long week. Oh and I should bike to work more often 💜

Also can we do budget hearing the week before or after CMA fest!It was like this last yr too bcuz #TrafficIsNoBueno

Based on my last post this is what Freshman X sent me: a letter stating why he wants a school bus to stay at McGavock High school. Or he is willing to take WeGO if service was restored on McGavock Pike so it doesn’t take almost 2 hours which includes 2 miles and gaps in sidewalk on McGavock Pike 1/

Bus 55 selfie & 2nd pic: Bus 75 to Urbanism mtg. Every time I leave my barrio to take a bus 2 things usually happen 1) I get asked by a neighbor what happened to my car 2)I see bullets or casings on the ground.I choose to ride the bus on occasions but access is a necessity for most of my neighbors.
