NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Area auto body shops say they're preparing for an onslaught of cars coming in as potholes around the mid-state keep getting bigger and bigger.

While TDOT took to social media Friday to share they had patched several major potholes on Nashville's interstates, Chris Figlio with Link Automotive says the ones the agency or NDOT hasn't gotten to yet will continue to get bigger.

"Every time another car hits that pothole, it takes another chunk out of it, it's gonna get worse," Figlio said.

Figlio said that means he anticipates a large group of drivers that will soon be heading to his shop, which is already packed. But he says he'll be ready for whatever damage heads his way.

Nashville music school offering lessons for just 50 cents for families with limited income

Music lessons for just 50 cents! A Nashville music school has been providing that to area students for over 40 years including for the city's current mayor. As a child, I always wanted to take piano lessons. I was able to for about 6 months but had to stop due to family finances. I would have loved to have had access to a program like this at the W. O. Smith Music School.
