🏈 Your Guide to Nashville’s Football Scene

College football season is underway, and the Titans kick off their season this weekend. The City Cast Nashville podcast chats with local football expert and 440 Media owner Braden Gall about everything you need to know about fall football in Nashville. [🎧 City Cast Nashville]

🚗 Rideshare Drivers Strike

Over the weekend, rideshare drivers went on strike at BNA, protesting long work days and Uber and Lyft increasing the percentage they take out of fares. The strikers are members of The Tennessee Drivers Union. [Tennessee Lookout]

🙏 Praise Metro Employees on hubNashville

hubNashville, the online portal for non-emergency requests, now includes a section for complimenting Metro employees. If you’ve had a good experience with a Metro worker, tell hubNashville about it! [Nashville Scene]

🚌 North Nashville Transit Center Opens

The Dr. Ernest Rip Patton, Jr. North Nashville Transit Center, named after a Nashville Freedom Rider, is now open. The new transit center will help simplify WeGo bus rides by requiring fewer Downtown transfers. It’s Music City’s third transit center, and includes a historical display honoring Civil Rights leaders. [WPLN]

Where Is It?

It’s time for our weekly photo challenge, where I show you a cool place around Nashville, and you try to guess where it is.

Last week’s challenge and winner:

A giant pac-man arcade game in a mall.
I want to play this! (Whitney Pastorek / City Cast Nashville)

This giant Pac-Man game is located in RiverGate Mall! I wonder if it used to be part of the Game Galaxy Arcade? Y’all remember that? RiverGate is one of our few remaining malls, though its days might be numbered.

Only one person correctly guessed its location: Congrats to Regina Egan! 🏆 I hope this is the first of many wins for you today.

Now onto this week’s challenge:

A children's area in a library with a brown polka dot rug, blue soft stools, and a blue puppet theater with sunflowers on it.
Puppet show, anyone? (Margaret Kingsbury / City Cast Nashville)

Okay library friends, do you recognize this children’s area? Reply to this email or click the button below to tell me where it is!
