Author: City Cast

Join Rachel Iacovone and the City Cast Nashville team every weekday morning as we bring you the day's can't-miss conversation about life in Music City. With the help of local journalists, artists, activists, experts, and everyday residents, we explore this promising, frustrating, still-sorta-small town, where old bumps up against new, natives adapt to transplants, and everybody struggles to navigate the Binge Drinking Tourism Industrial Complex that threatens to consume us all. Alongside our daily newsletter, we cover the news and culture of our endlessly growing city from every perspective we can find including yours. Its like a backyard barbecue and the whole towns invited, so whether youve lived here for a blink or a lifetime, we hope youll pull up a lawn chair and sit a while.
