Summary
The Nashville Scene’s YASNI winners were revealed yesterday, and here’s our belated submission: You are so Nashville if… you recognized Elliston Place Soda Shop as the place where Mayor Freddie O’Connell kicked off his reelection campaign by throwing more than a little shade at Sen. Marsha Blackburn’s recent fortune cookie debacle. On today’s Friday News Roundup, contributor Nicole Williams joins creative producer Marie Cecile Anderson and executive producer Whitney Pastorek to talk through Freddie’s reelection chances, Marsha’s just-revealed ethics investigation, and CNBC ranking Tennessee dead last in quality of life. Plus in our bonus segment for City Cast Nashville Neighbors, should daylight saving time be permanent? Early voting in the midterm state and federal primary election and the municipal general election is NOW OPEN through Aug. 1! Here’s everything you need to know to go vote. We’re doing our annual survey to learn more about our listeners. We’d be grateful if you took the survey at citycast.fm/survey — it’s only 7 minutes long.
