The mural is a tribute to Z. Alexander Looby’s legacy and the people who fought alongside him. It is the result of the Bordeaux North Nashville Participatory Budget process.

My drop in this week is in East. I don’t think all the East/Madison CMs are on here, but @emilyfor7.bsky.social & @seanforfive.bsky.social if you have constituents wanting to know what’s going on with Metro Arts, here’s a time to talk!

Coming up for air to say the MHRC 60th anniversary today was so grounding and soul filling. I’m grateful to be part of this team and work 🦞

Support the local arts scene, especially small orgs! Street Theatre Company’s VHS Christmas Carol at Barbershop Theater was soooo fun! It goes through next weekend. Go!

Folks it’s time to order some hot hand warmers to keep in your car and bag. These things can be life and limb saving for folks who live outside as the weather drops. 🦞
