NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro Council is considering an ordinance that would rename a portion of 3rd Avenue South to Johnny Cash Way.
The ordinance was filed in February and Metro Council passed the first reading of the proposal on March 3.
The bill references the Johnny Cash museum as the "largest and most comprehensive collection of Johnny Cash artifacts and history in the world" and how it contributes tourism in Music City.
"It is fitting and proper that the Metropolitan Council memorialize Johnny Cash through an honorary street renaming on 3rd Avenue South, adjacent to the museum that honors his legacy and blocks away from where he made his mark on country music," the bill reads.

Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
