Gone With the Wind – PROM 2010
Sitting on the patio at Bricktops, enjoying cocktails with Nashville’s Girl Friday, Ashley Kemp, I spy a group of teenaged girl dressed for the Prom sashaying down West End. What struck me was the sashay, they were literally wearing hoop skirts!
Having only heard lore of that long lost fashion trend, I jumped up and accosted them on the sidewalk. They modeled and showed me the complex construction of their gowns. I insisted on taking their picture. I couldn’t believe it, Gone With the Wind was finally back!!

Why the Media Ignored the Nashville Flood
by Andrew Romano
As you may have heard, torrential downpours in the southeast flooded the Tennessee capital of Nashville over the weekend, lifting the Cumberland River 13 feet above flood stage, causing an estimated $1 billion in damage, and killing more than 30 people.
It could wind up being one of the most expensive natural disasters in U.S. history.
Or, on second thought, maybe you didn’t hear.
Nashville Under Water
by Olivia Sarratt McCarthy
How you respond to crisis is a measure of your character. How a community responds is a measure of an entire culture.
Nashville is a special community of people who pull together and, even in times like these, look for the art among the devastation.
