Glad I listened to today’s episode of @citycastnash.bsky.social to remind me about Fridays by the River at Shelby Park. Great way to start the afternoon before homecoming and turf field dedication at Hunters Lane HS!

Imagine pulling something off first reading in order to make a comment to the department that could’ve been an email. Oh wait, we don’t have to imagine.

Believe it or not, I got the point and actually think I agree with the point you’re making. Even a broken clock is right twice a day (and for reference I am the broken clock on this analogy, not you).

I simply cannot put into words the amount of talent these student and our world class music educators have in Nashville. Their EP is available on streaming platforms and here is the link to one of their music videos- youtu.be/hXA0mJ0vAp4?...

To celebrate Tomato Fest, I spent enough time outside today to make my face look like a tomato. From the parade, the festival, some porch sitting, some racing, and some celebrating a friend’s master’s degree I can officially say I am exhausted. Well done, Nashville.

Well thanks. I’ve long made it a personal policy to not comment or interview with Sinclair Broadcast media like Fox17. But for whatever reason it really got around today on the socials ha

We have got to do a better job figuring out how to make WeGo the most accessible and convenient option at BNA. The gridlock this evening is crazier than anything I’ve ever seen in my life.
Zach Young (@zachyoungtn.bsky.social) reply parent
BNA has got to find a way to get buses in and out. Meanwhile he is taking a taxi to my location offsite because that was the most efficient way to navigate this situation and prevented me from adding my car to the gridlock.

The existing loading zone is safe. NDOT is recommending this in response to a pedestrian that was struck when a vehicle was parked OUTSIDE the loading zone and potentially blocking the view of the pedestrian crossing might. But, hey, happy pride.

It was a YIMBY kind of morning here in Goodlettsville as we celebrated the grand opening of Stone Bridge Lofts. 311 affordable units at 60% AMI and featuring some retail space fronting Main Street. So proud to have played a small role in helping identity this site & secure entitlements. 😁

Just to clarify, y’all, my post is about highlighting the improvements we must prioritize to increase ridership. You and I know the true benefits of transit but we have to meet everyday people where it matters to them—time and convenience. Bus lanes, priority signals, increased frequency. Boom.
Zach Young (@zachyoungtn.bsky.social) reply parent
I don’t necessarily expect transit to be faster or the exact same, but for us to attract more riders it’s need to at least be a competitive option. (And the transit time doesn’t include me having to drive to Rivergate Mall)

In other news, future First Husband Chasten Buttigieg was in town this evening on the book tour for his new children’s book. He’s so darn friendly!!

I want to take the bus to the courthouse for Thursday’s council budget committee hearing but it will more than double my travel time one way.. and still require me to drive nearly two miles to get to the transit stop. Happy for the CHYM committee to get to work!

On May Day, we honor the sacrifices workers make to support their families. As someone raised in a second-gen UAW home, I’m thankful for the 8-hour workday—it gave my dad and granddad time to earn a living and be present. To our MNPS staff: I see you, and I’m fighting for the pay you deserve.

Listed a unit there last year. Due to buildings plumbing, none of the units have hookup for washer/dryer & building fee is very high for few amenities. It was $815 a month for the 3BR I listed. Many units have door from hall directly into kitchen. I was told this was for domestic workers to use.

Our country is a very different place than it was two weeks ago. And it will only get worse in the next several months. Our Metro Council should not make decisions in a vacuum.
