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.

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
