NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Get out and get active! That’s the goal for Sunday's Open Streets Nashville event in South Nashville on Antioch Pike. It’s an effort to walk, bike, skate, and dance in an area that’s typically occupied. Antioch Pike will be shut down from noon to 5 p.m. from Wright Middle to Glencliff Elementary.

Open Streets Nashville temporarily closes streets to cars, encouraging community connection, physical activity, and support for local businesses. There will be a Community Zone, an Arts and Culture Zone, and an Activity Zone along the route.

Families can also tour the nearby Glencliff Elementary gardens, have a poem written by local poets, enjoy a Titans tailgate, and connect with neighbors in the streets.

Open Streets is brought to the community by Mayor Freddie O’Connell, NDOT, and Amazon.

Hermitage clinic for disabled patients set to close, cites loss of funding

I'm so thankful Robb Coles highlighted the Kamer Davis clinic in Hermitage and the hardship that may force its closure. The clinic provides care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities and there is no other place like it nearby. You can tell the staff is so passionate about the care they provide. I hope by shining the light on this, the right person can step in and make a difference.
