NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Edley's Bar-B-Que in Berry Farms was damaged by a Thursday night according to Franklin Fire.
Firefighters were dispatched to the restaurant just before 8 p.m. and found heavy smoke coming from the exterior of the building.
Upon further investigation, they found a fire in one of the smoker rooms that had spread to the rafters.
Firefighters used handlines to completely extinguish the blaze.
Officials say the damage was limited to the room of origin and that Edley's is expected to reopen soon.
For people of my generation, in our younger days we spent part of our weekends watching music shows like American Bandstand and Soul Train. That was before the age of music videos. Several years before Soul Train was syndicated out of Chicago, another syndicated R&B show was taped in Nashville at NewsChannel 5. Night Train aired in the 60s and included what may have been the first TV appearance for legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix. Forrest Sanders has another great look back at station history.
