Tacos x2: The Local Taco Settles Down In Brentwood

In just a little over a year, The Local Taco has become a Sylvan Park culinary staple, with a line out the door most nights and a packed-out patio year round.

Dose Coffee & Tea Replaces Murphy Road Portland Brew [Nashville Newcomers]

Don’t be alarmed if you happen to be driving by when the Portland Brew sign at Murphy Road comes tumbling down – The coffee shop has indeed departed from the Portland Brew fold, but the caffeine isn’t going anywhere.

Bright & Early: Left Or Right Edition

Good morning, Nashville. Some West Nashvillians are concerned about Metro’s pending decision to move the West Precinct from the Hillwood neighborhood on Charlotte Pike to a new location near Sylvan Park. The Metro Council announced a plan to buy up an old Ford dealership at 5520 Charlotte Pike and renovate the space to make more [...]

The Green Wagon Gets Second Home In East Nashville

The Green Wagon, the tiny little environmentally-friendly general store tucked away in Sylvan Park, is ambitiously opening a second location near East Nashville’s 5 Points this summer. Owner Jennifer Casale opened The Green Wagon’s first location less than six months ago, in early January. What’s that you say about a recession? Our favorite part about [...]

Today Is The Local Taco Day In Sylvan Park [Comings & Goings]

The Local Taco. No, it’s not a type of taco indigenous to Nashville (but that would definitely be interesting).

Think SATCO’s a la carte order-at-the-front style, but with way less frat parties and way more neighborhood get-togethers. [...]

The Green Wagon: Nashville’s First “Green” General Store

Entrepreneur Jennifer Casale is opening what she calls “Nashville’s first green general store” this Friday in Sylvan Park, and we’re loving the idea.

Happy Hour: Why So Blue?

Congratulations, Nashville! We broke our own early voting record and may end up having our biggest turnout ever on election day. [WSMV] And in light of the whole white supremest assassination/massacre/decapitation plot, a Sylvan Park neighborhood woke up to the number 1488 spraypainted on their welcome sign. Now that we’re all painfully aware of what [...]

Celebrate Independence Day The Nashville Way

Let’s brag on Nashville for just a few minutes. AOL CityGuide’s “Booms with a View” ranked us second in the nation for the best Fourth of July firework shows and events. In 2005, we were also ranked in the top ten fireworks displays by the American Pyrotechnics Association. Basically, our Fourth of July celebrations are [...]

Bright & Early: Yes He Did Edition

Good morning, Nashville. It was a big night in politics last night, as Barack Obama pretty much clenched the Democratic nomination and became the first black man to ever do that. We say “pretty much” because everyone seems to be acknowledging it except Hillary. Even McCain spoke of her in the past tense which didn’t [...]
