pedestrian bridge

Hello District 29 Neighbors:

The following is a guest post. I never have guest posts, but I made an exception this time as the guest post is written by someone who has me wrapped around her little finger.

There's no polite way to say it...I come from a bunch of white trash rednecks and somehow have never shaken those roots.

A minor altercation today made me really question myself and my behavior.

After work a couple of guys left our Germantown area office and road across the pedestrian bridge to the Shelby Bottoms Greenway on to the new bridge near Two Rivers park and back.

Nashville opened the Cumberland River Pedestrian Bridge Saturday
morning.

The 700-foot bridge spans the river from Shelby Bottoms to Two Rivers Parkway, joining pieces of the Stones River and Shelby Bottoms greenways.

Outdoor enthusiasts walked across the bridge with Nashville Mayor Karl Dean to mark the official opening.

Today, we introduce a regular feature on Pith: Mayor Karl Dean's weekly schedule of public appearances, which we will deliver to you with a minimal amount of snarkiness. That said, Dean isn't exactly killing himself this week. Maybe Clement could have handled the job after all.

And here you go:

Greetings Park, Greenway Friends, Parents, and Neighbors,

Knoxville News Sentinel:

A 17-acre addition to Knox County's Seven Islands Wildlife Refuge will be purchased this week by a private foundation set up to expand the area's public green spaces.

The end of summer/beginning of fall is just an incredible time of year in Nashville. I was driving to lunch yesterday with a friend from work and we had the windows of my car down and the world just looked different. Everything was clearer, brighter, yet not so bright that you couldn’t take it all in. So enjoyable. So gorgeous.
