@UrbanEastNash Move along, nothing to see here.

@WKRN @DwntwnNashville Do you know anything about the status of this iconic mural? Are they painting over it?

[Cliff Lippard @CliffLippard]

@UrbanEastNash Four levels or you aren’t really trying.

@nkornutick Whenever one of those trucks is blocking my path on the sidewalk, I politely fold in their passenger mirror. With a bump from my shoulder.

[Cliff Lippard @CliffLippard]

@nkornutick Excellent. I'd really like to see the offense above that one enforced. Often see large vehicles, mostly from outside of Metro, parked on sidewalks around Eastwood. Contractors parking in the middle of the alley is also common.

@lorendasue @emilyfor7 Notary Publics can officiate.

@UrbanEastNash I'm eagerly awaiting the driver freakout that is going to occur in about 7-8 months when Metro installs speed cushions on Greenwood (between Gallatin and Chapel) and on 14th (between Greenwood and Stratton). I may take the day off to enjoy the festivities.

@nkornutick There have been pockets of people living downtown since at least the 1980s, but yeah, the growth has been exponential.

@UrbanEastNash Generational accounting: pay for current operations and short term projects with current revenue; use borrowed capital funds to spread the costs of long term projects across all of the generations who receive their benefit.

@pw_garner Nothing a well-placed brick wouldn't help remedy.

@Arditi_d_Popolo Awareness.

[Cliff Lippard @CliffLippard]

@UrbanEastNash Alas, I predate that window. NTL, I still have two tix.

@NashSevereWx Following you on BSKY, waiting. You’re about the only reason I even check Twitter anymore.

[Cliff Lippard @CliffLippard]

Not that anyone sees my tweets, but just in case, I’m heading on over to Bluesky. I’ll probably check in here occasionally, but what little enjoyment and utility that remains isn’t worth Elmo’s toxicity.

@medeabenjamin @codepink They should go post them in Moscow.

@AgathaChocolats Service so fast, it melted Tom.

We said goodbye to Lucy today. Sweet. Loyal. Stubborn. 16 1/2 year run for my girl.

[Cliff Lippard @CliffLippard]

Huh. Half the people in the room with me just turned into zombies. #emergencyalert
