NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Folks who made their way downtown to join Nashville's 4th of July celebration had to deal with temps nearly hitting the century mark; in fact, it was the 3rd hottest 4th of July in Nashville history.
The music from the live performances wasn't the only sound dominating Lower Broadway today; the motors of oscillating fans misting passersby were also noticeable at several hydration stations throughout the downtown area.
