Friends, it's time. After five years, I'm moving on from covering #MetroCouncilNash.
The July 15 meeting will be the last one I cover. It'll also probably be the last one I watch for some time.
I'll have more to say about this decision later, but for now, I want to thank some folks.

If you are tired of the Tourism Industrial Complex, whatever that was last night for the New Years Eve event, the fact that we have already had a pedestrian death in 2026, or other issues there is a place you can post your snarky quips and we can all cope together.

for the late afternoon crowd - I built iwantyoutostay.com as a way to lament how the people in charge wanted us to stay and give Nashville a chance. Now after 2 years it feels like the city, which had a lot of hope when we elected such people; has actively regressed.

My current understanding of our city’s plans for the future:
Downtown = downtown
East Bank = downtown
Airport = downtown
Wedgewood-Houston = downtown
Berry Hill = downtown
Downtown = downtown
East Bank = downtown
Airport = downtown
Wedgewood-Houston = downtown
Berry Hill = downtown
And as @citycastnash.bsky.social highlighted, Bristol’s other dream for the Fairgrounds may well include a casino. Someone should ask @freddieoconnell.bsky.social if he agrees with James Weaver’s plan to repeal and replace Wedgewood Houston….

I really do not think CMs should meet individually with an entity that has refused multiple requests to attend a relevant committee meeting.
They're doing major work in the public ROW and crippling our ability to save lives on Murfreesboro.

My favorite thing about the Costco hot dog is how the founder threatened to kill the CEO if he raised the price above $1.50 for the hot dog + soda package.
“If you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.”

![When longtime Costco president W. Craig Jelinek once complained to Costco co-founder and former CEO Jim Sinegal that their monolithic warehouse business was losing money on their famously cheap $1.50 hot dog and soda package, Sinegal listened, nodded, and then did his best to make his take on the situation perfectly clear.
“If you raise [the price of] the effing hot dog, I will kill you,” Sinegal said. “Figure it out.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:htiefa6a7arktg5x5u33bhxo/bafkreidwi6mayofn7nydcg574g6iz2pwzu7niicskqrohvfmr23akpkkd4@jpeg)
