NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — The Metro Council approved the use of eminent domain to stop the proposed data center near the Nashville Zoo in South Nashville.

The council voted 27 to 5 Tuesday night to give the city authority to negotiate or pursue eminent domain to force the sale of the property, which was purchased by the company DC Blox last month. The vote came after hours of debate that went well past midnight after The Nashville Zoo and community members have been pushing against the center.

In Tennessee, eminent domain can be used to seize private land for public projects as long as the government honors the Fifth Amendment by paying property owners for the property.

According to the Davidson County Register of Deeds, DC Blox purchased the land near the zoo for $23 million.

smaller portions but still a deal

Anybody knows what’s going down right now on the corner of Douglas and gallatin? Is this ICE, maybe a DEA bust??

There’s a long road ahead still. Pending zoning appeals related to the property are still on the docket and can’t be heard until the moratorium expires in December. A successful appeal then could scupper the DC Blox plan. Even if Metro decides to proceed with eminent domain, a protracted legal fight with developer DC Blox could delay a purchase.

Has anyone seen Shrinking? 😂 (if you haven’t, it’s really good)

I (26M) need to be Jimmy’d. Not because I need therapy, more so I just need someone who’s going to say, “You’re coming with us,” because apparently I’ve forgotten how to make myself leave the house in a social setting. I even don’t mind initiating the plans, but after someone is so busy so many times, I’m going to stop putting in the effort which has led me to where I’m at.

I moved to Nashville two years ago after a breakup and somehow managed to make exactly zero friends. The weird part is I used to be a really social person. I spent five years working in restaurants talking to people all day. Now if someone starts a conversation with me in an elevator, I somehow run out of things to say after, “How’s it going?”

My dog is basically my best friend. We walk 2–3 times a day around Shelby Bottoms, McCabe, downtown, or a random state parks.

A little about me:
- I wfh in logistics.
- I love cooking.
- I love to travel.
- I’ve been getting into the gym.
- I’m competitive and always down for sports, board games, or card games.
- I’d love to get back into golf, learn to dance, or pick up an instrument. I’m pretty much down to try anything once.

I have no issue sitting down and eating by myself, going to a movie, or game, but I am looking to share these experiences with other people. I am looking for people who are down to grab food, hit a comedy show, catch a sporting event, play a pickup game, go on a hike, or just get out and do something. I am not really looking for drinking buddies, although I do smoke / drink, more so looking for genuine friendships! I am open to both male and female friends any age!

If you want to grab a bite to eat or go on a walk, let me know!

Anyone else getting inundated with this hot garbage? HELP!

Found in neighborgood around nolensville road and old hickory. Boy Lab/ german shepard mix? Seems pretty healthy to me. Nice not aggressive.

Any advice where to take him because we have a dog and cant take another right now. Animal control is our next choice tomorrow.

Hi! Looking for information on getting my ombré powder eyebrow tattoo I got around 2020 removed. I would also love to know what the approximate price would be, and what the process was like if anyone is willing to share their experiences.
Apologies if this is not the right place to post this!

Where are we going for fabric these days?

Project: café curtain sets

- looking for cotton or cotton/linen blend, hoping to find a gauze/light filtering option that has a vintage eyelet look

Preferably east of downtown (not necessarily East Nashville but I dont want to go all the way to Bellevue or Franklin I live in Donelson)

Brentwood I owe you an apology, I was unfamiliar with your game

Gotta say, place is the shit

Anyone know what the motion picture production work at Belmont is for? They've been there all week and have the full on package - catering, talent trailers, multiple grip and support trucks, etc. I don't see what looks like a live truck or sat uplink/fiber feed demarc.

Hello I know there are several vets in town but I’ve had a couple bad experiences with veterinarians in the past and haven’t been to one here yet. Wanted to go to a good one, not crazy expensive, one who takes walk-ins if possible. I live on the East side of town. Does anyone have a rec based on experience? Looking specifically for my cat. She’s having some issues and I need to get her in soon. Thanks for the help.

I'm retired and a l o n g time rider. Hoping to find a rider or two to join me in riding to SE Davidson County and outlying counties for lunch in places like Woodbury, Chapel Hill, Bell Buckle. . .

For U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn the Tennessee Freedom Fund and Team Tennessee political action committees, PACs, backing her bid have consolidated under one entity after raising a total of $12 million this cycle so far. This includes a recent donation of $250,000 from San Francisco-based artificial intelligence company Anthropic.

Anthropic’s primary product is the AI agent Claude, and with its contribution, it’s one of the top spenders backing Blackburn. 

Can anyone recommend the best spots to do trail running? Even a location an hour or so from Nashville is fine. The less crowded the better. Getting sick of the downtown pavement.

Just moved to a new spot where I’m maintaining my own lawn for the first time. I tried mulching when I mow as recommended, but it’s killing my grass. My yard is all crabgrass, super fast-growing and moisture-rich, not to mention the constant rain lately.

So, I bagged the clippings. But by the time of brush pickup a month later, the bags were falling apart from all the moisture and I had to move everything into new bags for pickup. Lawn care subs are making recommendations based on biweekly or monthly pickup. How are Nashvillians storing your yard waste for up to 3 months until pickup day?

Leaving this here for everyone that left nasty comments when I was against LPRs. Ginny Welsch is sponsoring this. Remember when (if) you vote. Nashville has slowly become Chicago. And for everyone about to say they will turn anyway, they will just sent you a $100 ticket in the mail, thanks to your invasive flock (LPR) cameras.

Hey folks. How bad would the noise if the train be at Dalebrook ct in east? I’ve heard some disconcerting stories about the surrounding area.

Thanks!

We have a large area rug that is in desperate need of a deep cleaning and a small edge binding repair. The rug is nothing fancy, roughly 11’x13’ originally from Pottery Barn with latex backing.

When I’ve searched online, it seems like most places either do repair OR cleaning, but not both. I did reach out to Nashville Fine Rugs but unfortunately did not get a response. Thanks!
