NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — It's been nearly a month since an explosion rocked the heart of downtown Nashville and Friday morning, the city answered some questions people may have to help them get back on their feet.

Metro hosted an online Q&A session about recovery and rebuilding efforts. Several city departments attended, as well.

Not only were people's homes destroyed, but several businesses as well, so they are looking for guidance during this difficult time. Thankfully, some are making a comeback.

The Stillery, which only suffered minor damage, did reopen Thursday night and managers are thankful during what's already been a tough time for the restaurant industry.

"It’s really awesome that we get to come back again and again and again and still be here so it’s miraculous really,” said Mollie Tobin, assistant general manager for The Stillery.
