Good morning, Nashville. Because we just love you guys so much here at Nashvillest, we’re going to continue our annual tradition of being the one place on the internet that isn’t foolin’ around on this fine first day of April (and it is fine, isn’t it?) (and clearly, some of our friends don’t love you [...]
