Hi all, recently gotten more into singing and I was hoping to find some more affordable singing lessons for complete beginners, can anyone help point me in the right direction foe this? Google is so bad at this kind of thing now.

Will Halloween festivities be postponed from Thursday to Friday due to the anticipated rain between now and 9 PM? It seems like it could be quite a washout. I'm asking for the kids, of course— as a parent, I’d prefer to avoid being out in the downpour of rain w/ strong winds for hours!

mending Hearts Inc. is currently in need of donations for our annual holiday toy store!

this toy store allows many of our women who are in treatment to send gifts to their little ones back home at no cost to our women!

i was able to witness this in action for the first time last year and i can not explain what an amazing experience it was to help our clients pick out gifts for their kiddos and how much this experience meant to each client!

sharing the flyer here! if you know of anyone who would like to donate they can reach someone at the email attached or can reach out to me directly! 🫶🏽

thank you & (although it’s early) happy holidays!

Claiming they are in the right of way. However, they are not! Also a little info of inward corruption on their company.

I’m a native, and I’m starting to think that it’s not worth it to rent out or buy a house in the Nashville area.

Nashville’s cost of rent and homes are almost if not comparable to other major cities like Denver, Austin, ATL, Chicago, Phoenix, Portland, etc.

Not exactly comparable, but the difference is a couple hundred of dollars off.

I notice that other major cities have more variety for mid to low income tenants. Nashville is either high income or low income.

Nashville doesn’t really offer nearly as much amenities compared to the cities I listed, excluding maybe food.

Portland is about an hour or so away from both the mountains and the coast. 2 hours from Seattle and also the scenery surrounding Seattle and another 2 hrs to the Canadian border.

Austin is 2 hrs from 3 major metro areas and 2 hours from the coast, not including being in Hill country.

ATL is a top 10 US city in the US and 3 or so hours from both the mountains and beaches.

Similar for the other cities listed, so what does Nashville have excluding country music and hot chicken?

I guess the weather is relatively mild, but not like the West coast.

Nashville was fine when the col was cheap/affordable, but now is it really worth it?

Nashville is also lacking in infrastructure, while most of the cities with comparable cost of rent/mortgage has significantly better infrastructure/transit, Excluding possibly Austin lol

Went to Hermitage and one of the poll workers advised coming here as the wait was about 2 hours.

Curious what y'all think.

Looking for something fun to do for Halloween tonight. My GF and I are local so not looking for a Broadway thing unless it’s worth doing. I feel like it’s been pretty quiet with Halloween activities this year. Anyone know of anything going on?

hi guys last night i lost my bear and camera charm and thought this was the place to ask if anyone had seen it. It has a pink crown and wand (the bear) and the camera had a little thing that said “i can freeze time” please let me know! i was on the left side of the stage when i lost it

Hi everyone! My brother is a dental hygiene student at a Remington College (441 Donelson Pike #490, Nashville, TN 37214, 615-493-9398). He needs a patient TODAY from 1:00 PM until 4:15 PM, for a FREE dental cleaning.

Please note that multiple appointments may be necessary due to the thorough process and the need for check-ups from the instructor and dentist.

If you are interested or have any questions, please feel free to message me. Thank you!🎃👻🦷🪥

Hey. If the rain holds out my daughter (15F) wants to walk around and trick or treat. What’s a good neighborhood to go to in Nashville. I’m driving up from Murfreesboro to pick her up. Thanks

My husband and I are going to the Titans game on Sunday and I’m wondering what safe parking options yall recommend? Thanks in advance! 🙂

Dearest Cecilia,

Horror and terror are often confused. At their core they both seek to explain a transformatively negative experience. “Two sister words having their way with the letter R,” you once jested, a sweating bottle of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc in hand, half-assedly watching Halloween on the TV. Put generally, horror is the explicit experience of the grotesque, and terror is the anticipation of it. Having recently provided both to my neighborhood villains, I know the difference intimately.

It is once again fall in Tennessee. If you expected more of Inglewood, I apologize. There is yet again a transit referendum. Virtually everyone has stabbed some sort of political sign into the unsuspecting clay of their yards. These signs consist of a rickety wire frame propping up a waxy corrugated message. You used to put your cigarettes out on the ones that you didn’t like. You’d be upset with the price of cigarettes these days. 

Leopold Street has recently become the epicenter of a sign-stealing scandal. Hushed whispers abound. Mary and I suspiciously lost our pro-transit sign last week. I’ve done a bit of detective work but you know the neighborhood, Cecilia. Susan Price, in a moment of panic when questioned, gave an awkward wave and piled into her car. Susan Price’s Marsha Blackburn signs have notably remained intact. It is only a certain class of sign that seems to have gone missing. I’ll let Edith Gregory at 992 Leopold tell you what she told me:

“Wale it’s them fuckers from New Jersey. I got the Ring, ya know. Barbara Cathcart, mhmm. I seenter grab them signs at night, clear ast day. She’s all no transit tax and all. They haint been here what a year. And that teeny dog. Christamighty.” After declining a Miller High Life from her porch fridge, I helped Edith light her Black and Mild.  

You and I shared a profound love of Halloween. Mary and I do as well. Mary has chosen to dress as Rumours-era Stevie Nicks this year. I hesitate to say it, but most of the time Mary is dressed as some permutation of Rumours-era Stevie Nicks. She bought several bags of candy in the vain hope that we would somehow have trick-or-treaters this year. 

Things were not looking good by 7:45 PM. Darkness had set in. Four little kids had shown up, all in one bunch. They were rewarded handsomely. Despite the dismal turnout Mary was smiling. She takes some sort of long-term approach to emotions that I do not understand. She sees how this year’s holiday features among the great book of tales that we may or may not have the chance to tell one another. She is remarkably and admirably of the moment. 

Sometime after 8, in the pale light of our living room, Mary stood and approached me. Time is man’s attempt to quantize the motion of the universe. Mist was swirling despite the lack of a fog machine. Mary had Gold Dust Woman going on the speaker. She took my fourth high-gravity beer from my hand and put it down on the coffee table.

“Are you going to behave yourself tonight?” she asked. I legitimately did not know the correct answer to this question. Her eyes have the rare ability to damn and redeem at the same time. I stood. 

This year I’d chosen to dress as Michael Myers. I was in an old set of coveralls with an expensive mask propped up on my head. I have always related to the character, much to your chagrin, Cecilia. Mary got up on her tiptoes and kissed me. She pulled the latex mask down over my face and I reveled in the claustrophobic sounds that the breath made. 

Hhhhnnnhhh. Hhhhnnnhhh. 

“What are you thinking?” she asked. 

My mother always said that we are who we are when no one is looking. I fail to make a potent literary connection here, but when I had the Michael Myers mask on I was no longer Hector Fogg. I looked down at my hands and vaguely recalled dreams that I’d once had. Mary put her body against mine. 

“Rulers make bad lovers,” she whispered. I smelled latex.

Hhhhnnnhhh. Hhhhnnnhhh.

“Happy Halloween, Hector.” she said. 

Hhhhnnnhhh. Hhhhnnnhhh. 

The cool evening air was redeeming. The sounds of brush against the mask were unusually satisfying. I pushed my way through the hedgerows and the darkness. 

Hhhhnnnhhh. Hhhhnnnhhh. 

The lights of the kitchen were blazing. Barbara Cathcart was folding laundry on the kitchen table. She was in her nightgown and slippers. She gently turned a turquoise kaftan over in her hands and laid it into a pile. What was that?

Barbara walked over to the picture window. 

Hhhhnnnhhh. Hhhhnnnhhh. 

She turned to her Indonesian teak-wood bureau and retrieved her reading glasses. She stuffed them onto her face and looked out the window. The hedgerow was empty, limp leaves gently waving in the cool autumn air. She crossed her arms and retreated to the pile of laundry. She picked up her glass of Chablis and grimaced at the temperature. The delicates were always such a pain in the ass. She put the glass down and dug into the warm pile. 

Marty Brodeur, her aging Yorkshire Terrier, let out a single yip. Through the front window she could only see the reflection of interior lights. The dog minced its paws on the couch and gestured outside. Barbara gulped down the cheap Chablis and put the glass down on her great aunt’s antique davenport. She approached the window and tried to make sense of the terror before her.

Hhhhnnnhhh. Hhhhnnnhhh. 

“Joe? Joe!” she called out. Marty Brodeur licked his lips and retreated to his cage. 

Joe Cathcart did not respond. He was upstairs working on his novel and listening to Paul Simon’s Graceland through expensive headphones. It would only be Barbara and the stock-still maniac on her front lawn. It would only be Barbara and I. 

Hhhhnnnhhh. Hhhhnnnhhh. 

I could see her scream at me behind the glass. I couldn’t hear anything. Her eyes were bugging out in horror. So were mine. She unlocked the door and ran out the porch. 

“No! NO! YOU MANIAC!” she screamed. 

I reached behind me and found metal. I pointed at Barbara and raised the spear above my head. I took a deep breath and plunged the disgusting, evil, forbidden thing into the heart of her front yard:

VOTE FOR NASHVILLE, VOTE FOR TRANSIT

Barbara clutched her collar and sank to the ground, screaming, losing her mind, writhing under the light of a crescent moon. 

Hhhhnnnhhh. Hhhhnnnhhh. 

Happy Halloween, Cecilia. 

Yours,

Hector Fogg

I live near the state parking garage at 4th Ave and Harrison Street (right near the Sounds Stadium). In the past two weeks I have seen two large meet ups of what seems like street racing groups. The first time they filled up the upper levels of the parking garage then fled when a cop entered. Tonight it sounded like they were continuously driving around Germantown area, so loud and fast that it sounded like gunshots ringing out.

Has anyone else heard them? Should I be doing anything to get this more attention. I assume the cops must know after chasing them out of the garage and stepping up the street racing response recently.

I thought it'd be nice to see my first NFL game (just for the hell of it) for cheap. Seet Geek has them as low as $75? What? With all of the jokes I see on here, I was thinking some could be had for $15 or $20. Any places that may be able to make that happen? I really couldn't care less about sports in general but I mainly think it'd be neat to see an NFL game.

Edit: I can't spell.

Does anyone know where I can buy a racing helmet (as opposed to a motorcycle helmet)?

Im visiting from out of state and looking to purchase the platinum package, but want to make sure it's worth the money for 3 people.

How long does the main attraction take? Typical wait line for side games?

What say you, fellow Nashvillians?? It looks like a pretty strong storm front is coming through between 4-8pm and Friday night looks perfect. Is anyone’s neighborhood going ahead and making the call to push to Friday, November 1st? Thx!

Hi there!! A friend and I are heading to Nashville tomorrow (Halloween) to go out to the bars on broadway. Since we’re only coming for the night, we don’t have a hotel room to get ready in before we go out. I’m wondering if there’s any place we can get ready (makeup, hair, change outfits) downtown either cheap or free. I looked into the daytime hotels but most of them only let you rent the room until 5pm and the time we’d need the space to get ready is around 8pm. There must be some place we can get ready besides our car?! Any help is so much appreciated.

I have 2 very disappointed nieces (and one very disappointed me, because I planned and sewed an entire costume and drove 6 hours to get here) because of trick or treating being rained on tomorrow. What are our indoor options for tomorrow? Kids 8 & 3? Please help:(

UPDATE: green hills Mall, Opry Mills are a no go. Nothing on their socials about events Thursday

We are road tripping to Nashville from Indianapolis leaving tomorrow through Sunday (gotta get the hell out before all the Swifties take over). It also happens to be my birthday on Friday. We're staying near downtown. Where can I get a quality slice of birthday cake? 🍰🎂🍰🎂🍰🎂🍰🎂🍰

Thanks!!

Can't make the show tonight, two tickets up for grabs! Seats are next to the sound booth on the aisle because I'm a claustrophobic audiophile haha

Fun bonus - my buddy bought a third ticket next to us, and is likely bailing as well, so you get extra elbow room for dancing!

Leave a comment and then message me. Enjoy!
