## Resource

The development situation on the eastern bank of the Cumberland River remains confusing, so D7 Councilmember Emily Benedict joins host Marie Cecile Anderson to help us untangle it all. From the amendments Council recently passed putting boundaries on the scrapyard neighborhood (a.k.a. Wasioto Bend) to why the state rerouted $300 million of surplus convention center cash to the East Bank, we’re hashing out the future of Nashville’s most valuable patch of land. When all is said and done, will it still be East Nashville — or are we creating a second downtown? Election Day is TOMORROW! Here is a sample ballot for the May 5 election with early voting locations and hours. If you haven’t yet registered to vote, you cannot vote in the May 5 primary election — but you can still register for the state and federal primary election on Aug. 6.
