Letters from Antioch and Hermitage and...

As I noted in my previous post, people turned out to support the Bells Bend/Scottsboro neighbors from all over the city. In today's Tennesseen is a wonderful letter from a woman in Antioch giving us a glimpse of Bells Bend's future if May Town and its super sized infrastructure are allowed in. The ever fabulous Susan Floyd of the Donelson Hermitage Neighborhood Association noted her community's support for Bells Bend and the community planning process on Enclave.

Every day we get a few letters in support of the Bells Bend Neighbors. As with the planning meeting itself, people from all over the county are speaking out and they express like nothing I have seen in a very long time a vision for Nashville. We want to grow and change and be a successful city but we aren't willing to do that at the expense of what makes us special. We don't want to be Cool Springs.

So, for the time being I have added to this here blog a new feature. Everytime I hear from some corner of Nashville, I will note from whence it came. This feature shall be called the NIMBY roll in honor of witty 23rd resident Sally W who redefined that acronym.

Drum roll...I mean NIMBY roll please!
