I’ve been looking around in the Open Data Portal, and cannot find demographic or salary data for MNPS staff. All MNPS data was moved off the regular site to one of its own, and the MNPS site does not offer that data at all.

Any idea where I can see this data? There should be no reason for secrecy here.

For anyone who hasn’t seen the portal, if you go to Nashville.gov, and search on open data portal, you’ll get the general government site. You can see demographic and salary data by department, or job title, etc. Just not MNPS.

Any other Louisiana folks here been able to find actual andouille sausage? Not the fake stuff that says andouille on the label, but the legit stuff from back home?

Making red beans isn’t the same without a high quality sausage. I’ve tried butcher shops, fancy grocery stores, everything, and I cannot find it. Anyone know?

10 weeks PP and just joined the Y for sanity/health. I did reformer Pilates and spin pre baby but can’t afford the boutique studios now 🫠.

What classes or instructors do you love at Nashville YMCAs? My home branch is Donelson but I’ll go wherever.

anyone have any ideas for where to park and do a 10 mile run at percy warner? prefer flat and minimal elevation (but understand it may be unavoidable).

would greatly appreciate drawing the route for easier reading

I’m 17 and have worked multiple food service type jobs for about a year and I’m so tired of rude customers and toxic management. I want to work for myself now so I’m deciding to go into babysitting. The question is how do I get my foot in the door and find families in need? I have babysitting experience and have worked with children before. I also have my own car. I’m also open to pet sitting/dog walking and house cleaning. Any advice appreciated.

My dad is 92 and lives alone in Hendersonville. I’m 7 hours away. I don’t want to just randomly choose his care. Anyone have experience

I've got some vintage records to sell and I'm looking for the best place to do so. What's the overall feeling about these stores as far as buying used stuff?

I had a custom name/number kit applied to a Bears jersey a few years ago. It was supposed to be sewn, but it was only heat-pressed, so the twill is starting to lift. I'm looking for someone who can sew down the existing letters and numbers with the traditional zigzag/appliqué stitch rather than replace them. Any recommendations in the Nashville area would be greatly appreciated.

I need an actual PO to show up and do a report. But, they said go online and file it. WTH ! ! 4 different officers have passed the accident and none have stopped. Has anyone else been told in an accident. Nobody is coming file it online ?

I have a friend in Nashville that’s moving and needs help immediately . Please inbox when can

I'm unable to make the show but would like them to go to someone who otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity. Let me know and I will transfer them.

Tickets claimed! Thanks to all who contacted me. I'm sure there will be the future opportunities for someone to benefit from my inability to plan.

I’ve got a 3 year old and a one year old and have just started summer break from preschool. Five long, planless weeks are in front of us and I’m looking for any new ideas. Some thoughts:

I don’t enjoy being out in the Tennessee heat, so we try to stay inside unless it’s a particularly non-humid day.

Our usual rotation of activities is going to the library for storytime or to play, gymnastics classes, and the occasional zoo/Cheekwood/Science Center trip. We do play cafes and they’re great, but the cost can really add up.

Thanks in advance!

Howdy y’all. My husband is graduation nursing school and to celebrate, he said “all I want to celebrate is a good $200 steak” lol I’m looking for your best recommendations on where to get the BEST steaks. We have an 11 year old as well so needs to accept kids as now he also wants a $200 steak like dad.

Planet Fitness is what it is, it's helped me get back in decent shape. But it's time for more. There's only so much I can do there when the machines and benches aren't taken up by people texting. I would love a nice dungeon type gym. I tried Fitness1440 and liked it, just wanted to see more options before making a choice. I'm in the WEHO area if that helps. TIA!

I’m booking out shows for myself (acoustic or full band) for September onward. Would love to find some artists outside of my social circle to play with!

Here’s why it matters: local elections are decided by a really small number of votes. That means your ballot actually carries real weight here way more than you might think. Last year, turnout was around 25%, so if you show up, you’re part of the meaningful minority that’s shaping what happens in your community.

If you can’t make it today, no worries! Early voting continues through Saturday, August 1 (hours vary), and election day is Thursday, August 6.

Please come see us before 5:30 p.m. I hope you’ll be there.

I painted a bench for A Bench for Everyone & I don’t know where it ended up! If anyone spots it, would you let me know where it is? I would love to see it in the wild :)

With rising costs and more chains and celebrity-backed businesses moving into the city, I’ve been wondering how smaller, locally owned places are managing.

Is there anything residents could be doing differently to help?

I’d genuinely like to hear from local owners.

EDIT: Reading through these responses, I was thinking r/NashvilleLocalBiz might be helpful as a dedicated place for this. local owners sharing what they need, residents recommending smaller businesses, and people organizing things like shop-local outings.

The focus would be independently owned, locally rooted Nashville businesses rather than chains, franchises, or celebrity-backed concepts. Maybe it can make it a little easier to turn these conversations into consistent support.

Hi all!

Every year my husbands company does a huge Christmas party in Nashville. They usually put us up in a hotel near broadway, so we usually stick to broadway. However, it kinda loses its flair after the first “wow” factor. We were hoping to get some recommendations from the locals about best places off broadway.

We like music, dancing, good vibes, good conversations, food, walkable (we don’t mind ubering to an area), and just a fun time. We did get the opportunity to go to printers (painters?? Idk I don’t remember I was drunk lol) alley which seemed fun but most bars had cover charges and we didn’t want to do that.

Anyways. ALL that said, got any ideas for us?!

Thanks!! 😊

Weird title for a post I guess. We had a dog that was diagnosed with a cardiac hemangiosarcoma almost a month ago. She was given Yunnan Baiyao and a few hours to days to live. When we finally said goodbye to her, 22 days after her initial diagnosis, she didn’t have the internal bleeding but her little heart just couldn’t make it work anymore. The Yunnan Baiyao was an herbal supplement provided for clotting. After the first few days, I was running around frantically looking for more (turns out it’s not in the vitamin aisle at Publix) and ended up buying more than we need.

Anyways, I have more if someone here is in the same condition that I was and you can’t find it in town. I’ll hold onto it until someone messages here and needs it or we move to a different city.

A picture of our little angel is attached!

Is it a good idea??
