Happy Thursday! This takes the cake for most absurd headline of the week: “After Eric Clapton concert, pantless woman drove car with missing wheel through Nashville, police say” 👀

What's CITY Talking About?

🌮 Where To Find the Best Latino Restaurants
From tacos to ceviche, we’re running down the list of Music City’s best Latino food on today’s City Cast Nashville podcast with local foodie Anas Saba, creator of Nashville Hidden Gems. [🎧 City Cast Nashville]
🏛️ We Have the 3rd-Largest Metro Council in the U.S.
Vice Mayor Angie Henderson says Nashville’s 40-member Metro Council reflects the city’s diversity, and means councilmembers are more accessible to their constituents. As Vice Mayor, she’s implemented changes to make meetings more efficient. A Tennessee Supreme Court ruling earlier this year backed a state law cutting the council size in half, but Nashville’s law department is challenging it. [The Tennessean]
🤫 Tunnel Secrecy & Public Records Laws
Metro Legal is frustrated with The Boring Company’s lack of compliance with the Tennessee Public Records Act. The company marks some information as “proprietary and confidential,” preventing Metro from sharing it according to a nondisclosure agreement, but then releases that information on its website.

🏈 New Titans Stadium Halfway Complete
After 18 months of work, construction on the new Nissan Stadium has reached the halfway point, and crews will soon begin installing the stadium’s translucent roof. Seating capacity will be about 60,000, and 70% of ticketing inventory has been sold. [Nashville Banner]
