Good morning, Nashville. We hear it’s been a rough road for our favorite former Director of Schools Pedro Garcia ever since the city ran him out earlier this year, but we didn’t know it was this bad: He’s having such a hard time selling is $1.2M Brentwood mansion that he’s now throwing a pair of [...]
