I stand corrected. You know me, I just like to hate on the gov't in general and usually jump to conclusions without reading the linked article or anything. Just trying to prove an overall point of government expansion and abuse ;) Ah ok. I stand corrected.

So, they probably receive some grant funding but it's not like it's completely taxpayer funded. And once businesses buy in and purchase extenders to stretch out the signal, that's not funded by taxpayers either. It probably won't be the best setup, but it's citywide wireless internet and it's free!

We got so many great shots in the pool that I want to showcase them all! I'd say we've got another two or three left. ;) Haha, definitely.

You're So Nashville (obviously). <br><br>LRT and such are indeed a long way off, but I'm excited that a serious and ambitious transit plan is being considered. This definitely sounds like more than the routine talk. Also, I agree about the free circulator routes (which I thought were going to be in the fairly distant future too)--awesome.

I think it starts at 10pm on Saturday night and continues through Sunday, but it's hard to tell because there is nothing about it on TDOT's website or twitter accounts.
