Council advances rezoning for Belle Meade Plaza project

BY WILLIAM WILLIAMS

The Metro Council Tuesday night voted to advance a specific plan rezoning request related to a high-profile development proposed for the Belle Meade Plaza shopping center.

The vote on second reading came after about three hours of debate and citizen feedback, with the project having previously spurred significant community opinion — both positive and negative. Prior to the vote, a motion to defer voting on the rezoning bill failed by a 23-9 count.

The vote follows the Metro Planning Commission having voted unanimously (8-0) in late March to approve the rezoning. With the commission having approved, a simple majority vote of approval from council was needed. The body will need to finalize approval on third reading.

Nashville-based Adventurous Journeys (AJ) Capital Partners plans to acquire the property, which includes a retail and office building hugging the White Bridge Road viaduct and recognized as the home of Agave’s Mexican Restaurant and Belle Meade

Premium Cigars, among other businesses and the Kroger structure. The address is 4500 Harding Pike.

The property sits within Metro Councilmember Kathleen Murphy’s District 24, with Murphy having previously noted the project proposal offers numerous favorable elements. Murphy is sponsoring the rezoning bill.

Tuesday night’s meeting drew both proponents and opponents of the plan. Many of the people who have concerns about the future project live in Belle Meade, with the property to be reinvented not located within that satellite city.

AJ Capital officials declined to comment after the vote.

As the Post recently reported, and according to a multi-page Metro Planning Department document, the heights of all the planned buildings have been reduced. In addition, a Nashville Department of Transportation study shows multiple findings that AJ Capital said it plans to incorporate. These include the widening of a portion of

Metro Nashville Police arrested a 14-year-old boy on the afternoon of May 6 after the child allegedly stole a school bus in Antioch and led a high-speed chase that ended just outside of Bellevue.

According to an MNPD news release, the unidentified child has been booked into Juvenile Court on multiple charges after stealing a school bus from Kipp College Prep on Murfreesboro Pike in Antioch before “recklessly driving” into West Nashville by way of Briley Parkway and onto I-40 west.

“The 14-year-old, who is in state custody and living at an Antioch residence, hit the diesel fuel pump at Casey’s Market on Centennial Boulevard just before 4 p.m. He is also alleged to have attempted to run over a person at the market,” the news release reads.

Police said that the teen also hit a car

“The teen evidently saw the spike strip, slowed the bus, and attempted to turn around in the middle of the west bound lanes,” the news release reads. “Officers at that point ran up to the bus, broke out the door glass, and used a Taser as the teen was attempting to continue operating the bus. He was taken into custody without further incident.”

The teen is now being held in the juvenile detention center where he is facing charges of vehicle theft, aggravated assault, evading arrest, reckless driving, driving without a license, leaving the scene of a crash and failure to report a crash.

Due to the teen’s age, no further information has been made public.

considered 60,000 square feet of retail space, with the proposal now at 80,000 square feet. The number of parking spaces, originally about 680, was upped to 950 and then reduced to 920. One of the proposed buildings will include 78 hotel rooms (down from 120) and 388 residential units (down from 500).

As previously reported, extensive landscaping and full incorporation of Richland Creek as a water feature and river walk are planned. The plan will involve a partial rerouting and restoration of the creek, with flood mitigation to be undertaken. A platform rising above Richland Creek will be part of the effort. About 60 percent of the site’s 10.5 acres will be devoted to green and open space.

Opened in 1961, the two-level modernist Belle Meade Plaza sits on roughly 10.57 acres. The building includes about 205,500

square feet and was one of Nashville’s first mixed-use buildings (retail on level one and office on floor two) oriented in a suburban manner, with the structure separated from the street by surface parking.

Nashville’s May family owns the property, seemingly having paid $14.5 million for it in January 1997, according to Metro records. The property also includes the Kroger structure, with the grocery business to eventually relocate to the former Belle Meade Theater building, the space last occupied by a Harris Teeter.

Sources said the property could command a minimum of $80 million. Tenants include Wells Fargo Bank, Ninki, Pho Ann, CVS, Starbucks, Office Depot and Katy’s Hallmark Shop.

Area sees median home price drop year-to-year

STAFF REPORTS

The Nashville area saw 2,753 home closings in April — a 27 percent decrease from the 3,818 figure of the same month in 2022 — with the median prices for both single-family homes and condominiums also dropping compared to the corresponding marks of last April.

According to data compiled by Greater Nashville Realtors, the median price for a single-family home in April was $468,300. For a condominium, the median price was $326,000. The figures compare with the April 2022 median residential and condominium prices of $480,000 and $337,628, respectively.

Previous GNR numbers show that yearto-year drops in average median prices for single-family home and condos have been uncommon, with the most recent time likely having happened due to the Great Recession.

The drop in closings in April follows 3,063 home closings in March, a 19 percent decrease year over year; 2,186 home closings in February, a 25 percent decrease from the total recorded in the same month of 2022; and 1,802 home closings in January, a 31 percent decrease year over year.

Gov. Bill Lee on Monday signaled his intention to call a special session of the Tennessee General Assembly to begin on Aug. 21.

In the wake of Nashville’s deadly Covenant School shooting in March, Lee — who has said that his wife Maria was close friends with shooting victim Cindy Peak — released language for an extreme risk protection plan that would temporarily remove guns from people deemed a danger. This year’s legislative session adjourned in April without heeding the governor’s calls for action, with Lee immediately saying he would call for the legislature’s return in the coming weeks.

While Lee still must issue a formal call for a special session, the governor said he plans to bring the body back with the intent to “strengthen public safety and preserve

constitutional rights.” Some Republican lawmakers have already come out in opposition to legislation like Lee’s suggested extreme risk language.

In a release, the governor’s office also requested public feedback, sharing a form where Tennesseans can “engage in the conversation.”

For most public schools — including those in the Metro Nashville Public Schools system — the 2023-2024 school year will have already begun by Aug. 21.

Nathan Weinberg, GNR vice president, said the year-over-year declines in this instance are to be expected.

“Last year we hit a peak of market capitalization,” Weinberg emailed the Post. “We had record-low inventory and record-high demand, and those led to record-high increases in both median and average sale prices. As our current year has moderated, we are seeing a more accurate and sustainable metric for growth. While the year-over-year data shows a decline, we have seen monthly numbers grow at a healthy rate. And we are seeing total capitalization of active listings grow indicated by the activation of pent up demand.

Weinberg said next month’s numbers should show an additional increase in month-to-month and year-over-year data “moderate further.”

There were 3,196 sales pending at the end of April, compared to 3,282 pending sales at the end of April of last year. Similarly, pending sales have been down each month since September.

The average number of days on the market for a single-family home in March was 53. This compares to a March mark of 54, a February number of 59 and a January mark of 61. Prior to mid-2022, the monthly days-on-the-market numbers consistently had been in the high 20s.

Inventory in April was 8,788, up 103 percent from the 4,314 figure of the same month from last year. For comparison, in April 2019, inventory was 11,627.

The GNR data was collected from Cheatham, Davidson, Dickson, Maury, Robertson, Rutherford, Sumner, Williamson and Wilson counties.

Swifties line up to enter Nashville music’s “Holy Ground” at the Bluebird Cafe

BY JAYME FOLTZ

Pop superstar Taylor Swift made her homecoming to Nashville this past weekend with the highly anticipated “Eras” tour. The city Enchanted the singer’s three-night residence at Nissan Stadium by paying homage to her at a lineup of local spots.

The Bluebird Cafe, a music venue beloved by locals and on most tourists’ visit lists, was no different. Nashvillians and Swifties know that Swift got her start at the historic music venue, and the cafe hosted a free open house to celebrate. At 14, Swift got a record deal after inviting an executive to hear her sing at a Bluebird writer’s night.

I don’t think it would be fair to call myself a Swiftie. I never had her whole discography on repeat or traveled over state lines to lay eyes on her in full concert regalia.

I don’t know the T-Swift lore and can never remember which album was about which exboyfriend. But, on Saturday, I decided to live a few hours as a Swiftie.

My work was already cut out for me. Thorough research led me to discover that the line for the open house started around 9 a.m. each day. If you arrived by 9:30, you would’ve already been caught up in the hustle to join the line. Cars were squeezing

through the back of the venue, hoping for an open parking spot by the building, and groups ran to join the line because of one cardinal rule: no saving spots in line.

As the weather grew humid and the line grew longer, fans could be seen sipping some Lavender Haze lemonade and chattering about last night’s concert, including Swift’s surprise announcement for the release of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version). Many devotees rocked “Eras” themed outfits, while others sported a combination of sparkly cowgirl regalia and bright fashion rarely seen outside of Nashville.

Darcy from St. Louis, Missouri had the opportunity to go to a show closer to home in Kansas City but ventured to Nashville with her mom to experience the city where Swift got her start.

“I saw they were having the open house on TikTok and knew we had to make a stop here before the show [on Saturday night].”

Almost an hour-and-a-half into waiting to enter the cafe, I had made it to the front of the building. Fans could be seen striking multiple poses in front of the famous Bluebird awning. No doubt they all would post them to their socials with clever captions referencing their favorite T-Swift lyrics.

Around the two-hour mark, I entered what might be considered by some as one of Nashville music’s Holy Ground: the Bluebird cafe, the site of Swift’s discovery.

The intimate dim lighting didn’t hide the excitement of the Swifties inside.

Groups made circles around the tables filled with keychains, stickers, and other Bluebird merch, and stragglers in the left corner pointed out Swift’s wall photo while trying to decide which T-shirt to buy.

Liana Alpino, The Bluebird Cafe’s Brand and Merchandise Manager, had the idea for the event.

“We did one when she had her ‘Reputation’ tour,” said Alpino. “It was a one-night show in Nashville, and kind of on a whim we were like ‘well, let’s just see if they come,’ and her fan base really came out for it. So, I wanted to go big this time and do three days like her tour, and we added a couple of special things for this year.”

Swifties have been making and exchanging friendship bracelets at each concert of the tour as an ode to a line in “You’re On Your Own, Kid” from her latest album, Midnights. The cafe joined the fun by making Bluebird-themed friendship bracelets, and they were quickly sold out within a few hours of being open.

“I didn’t know what to look forward to, but the whole experience has been wholesome. Like more of a small town kind of intimate thing, and it’s been awesome,” said Mackenzie from Richmond, Va.

On the stage, to the right of the cafe, was the reason behind everyone’s decision to wait for hours in humid weather: Taylor Swift’s chair. Engraved with her name, it stood Fearless on the stage waiting for the next group of eager Swifties to take a seat for an 89-cent Polaroid, the price of which is ode to her album 1989. Fans also had the opportunity to guess how many gems were in the Bejeweled jar to win a prize on each of the days.

“We knew that she was having an unprecedented three-day tour weekend here in Nashville, and we wanted to give her fan base something fun to do to celebrate her,” Alpino said.

The experience was Sweeter Than Fiction for the fans. Each Swiftie exiting the cafe looked Breathless from the experience, and many were off to the next local spot honoring the star, the Country Music Hall of Fame, to get a glimpse at 10 of the artist’s costumes. The 10 outfits represent each of the 12-time Grammy-winning artist’s 10 albums, ranging from her eponymous 2006 debut to 2022’s Midnights.

As I exited the cafe’s parking lot in our Getaway Car, I reflected on the fan experience. For Swifties, it’s a real Love Story to not only see Taylor Swift in concert but to retrace the steps that made her the star she is today. This is why each fan would continue to wait for Evermore to step inside The Bluebird Cafe.

Nashvillians aim to become a Major League Baseball hub

BY BILL FREEMAN

After several years of anticipation, it appears that Major League Baseball may soon be expanding its league by two teams.

As of now MLB has 30 teams, but as ESPN reported last year, Commissioner Rob Manfred has been pushing for the addition of two new teams. Rumors have been circulating about potential expansion cities, and Nashville is among the top contenders.

Music City Baseball (aka the “Nashville Stars”) is the local management group working to bring MLB to Nashville. The Nashville Stars is also the proposed name for an MLB team, should it arrive in Nashville, and would honor a semi-pro Negro Leagues team that existed in the mid-20th century. According to Sportskeeda.com: “If the Nashville Stars were set to become the next expansion team in Major League Baseball, they would be the first new franchise since 1998. … If Major League Baseball approves the expansion, the franchise would become the first to honor a team name from the Negro Leagues.”

Former MLB pitcher Dave Stewart, a member of the Nashville Stars’ board, is leading the diverse equity ownership initiative. According to the Stars’ website,

“Stewart was a legendary Major League Baseball All-Star with the Oakland A’s as well as the general manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks … [and] is a 3× World Series Champion.” Additional leaders in Music City Baseball include veteran real estate developer John Loar and former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

Early in this venture, I traveled with John Loar to several cities exploring the possibilities. Other longtime friends — like Reese Smith III, whose name is synonymous with baseball in Tennessee — are also excited about this possibility. And we’re not the only ones. Former MLB All-Star Don Mattingly has also joined the Nashville Stars as an adviser — and according to a January story from The Tennessean, he did so because he believes “the approach that Dave Stewart and his team have in Nashville is exactly what the game of baseball needs.” Mattingly added that more diversity is needed in baseball, and that “it starts from the top down.”

If the stars align (pun intended), Stewart would like to see the Stars “play their first regular-season game on Opening Day of 2026.”

The city’s economy is also pretty well-

suited to support a Major League Baseball team. The Nashville Business Journal reported in December that Nashville’s gross domestic product is growing at a faster rate than the national average: “All 13 counties in the metro area posted GDP growth in 2021, led by Davidson County’s 13.8% increase.” In addition to its favorable economic climate, Nashville is also geographically wellpositioned for a Major League Baseball team. The city is centrally located — and there are no MLB teams currently located in Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina or Kentucky.

All this said, we have been on the radar as a potential expansion city since 2018. So while an MLB team would be one more feather in Nashville’s already well-adorned cap, we can’t know if and when this will actually come about. And bringing a Major League Baseball team to Nashville would not be without its challenges.

One major hurdle would be the construction of a new stadium. An area near TSU is already under consideration for its placement. Another challenge could be recruiting a team to relocate to Nashville. Earlier hopes had been resting on the Tampa Bay Rays relocating, but as Commissioner Manfred recently said, Rays principal shareholder Stuart Sternberg is “much more positive about being able to get something done in Tampa — which I think is the right answer for baseball — [and] that puts Nashville in the expansion category.” The prospect of expansion might encourage some teams to make the move, especially if they are struggling in their current markets. But let’s not forget about our minor league team the Nashville Sounds. What would an MLB team coming to our city mean for them? Back in 2020, The Tennessean reported that Sounds owner Frank Ward said if Nashville gets a MLB team, “the Sounds would leave Nashville and go look for another Triple-A city.”

But overall, the possibility of Nashville joining the MLB lineup is an exciting one for sports fans in the city and across the region. Only time will tell if Major League Baseball decides to expand to Nashville and whether residents will get to cheer on their own team. Like many others, I’m hoping for the best.

THE GREEN HILL TO CALVARY

Six people went to school that day; Six people went to learn and pray. . . They didn’t know that Monday morning That all the world would be in mourning. For as their lives came to an end, Their ones in Heaven would begin. So loud and clear the shots rang out, And without fear or any doubtOur men in blue searched down each hall Before another child could fall. The teachers hid their kids from harm, As loudly rang the fire alarm. . . They felt no fear and were so brave, Protecting many from their grave. Alas, the Head of School proceeded To stop the violence that was needed; She and two others gave their life So students would not bear the strife. Three innocents were feeling fine Til their lives ended at age 9; Medical staff and firemen too Raced to help those at the school. More Metro cops were on the scene To stop this demon-mental mean. . . They took her down as parents hurried Across the campus-they were worried.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

School buses came and drove each kid Away to safety where they hid; Activity so fast and franic, Forever felt to be traumatic.

It’s just one week til Easter Season, And we all seek to know the reason Six precious lives on earth were lost, And like our Lord, endured a cross. We ask ourselves why evil lurked Inside the Covenant School and Church?

To join in prayer-community, Til all live in Eternity.

High on a hill, With classrooms still;

Where peace and knowledge should belong, The people plead their voice in song. . . They wear the white and red and black Because they want their school days back. The mood in Nashville—ever somber, With many things and laws to ponder— The solemn promise will go on:

To keep our city Covenant strong! We must not be too forsaken

As to why these lives were taken— They were given up for Lent, And now are angels-Heaven sent. We cherish each and every year They shared with us-and shed a tear; They’re safe with God in all His glory, And fulfill the Easter story!

THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS

Thoughts and Prayers

Parents’ anguish cries the air

While dead and empty hearts declare Their wretched stink of thoughts and prayers

Blood cries out from desks and chairs

A pontificating, oily Mayor

Squeals his answer-- bloated prayers

Endless conversations fraught

With hollow prayers and useless thoughts

Thoughts and prayers to feed The Beast

A public glut

Self-serving grief

At last

Mute stones

The dead interred

Now deaf, thank God, To thoughts and prayer

TICKED OFF!

WHO DIED AND MADE HIM GOD

I would like to know who died and made Ron DeSantis God. How can he claim he is “taking care of the children” by trying to pass a bill which would remove transgender decisions from the doctors, patients and parents. If he wanted to “take care of the children,” then why does he not pass a gun law bill that would outlaw any large, multiple shots per second guns. Oh no. That is asking too much for this self-centered, egomaniacal, self-obsessed, self-serving, narcissistic person. It is proven that guns are the largest killer of kids and teens. NOT the decisions of aid to any person who wants to live a life of THEIR choosing.

As a side note – How can DeSantis stick his nose in other people’s lives, when he was asked in one of many interviews, the ethnicity of his wife and he said - “She is American and has kept the details about her family secret.” That statement is online. Check it out.

GUN LAW

Gov. Lee is utterly ridiculous and sounds stupid every time he makes the statement about gun laws and his response is always “to protect the rights of law abiding citizens of Nashville . . . “ How many law abiding citizens ANYWHERE uses an AR-15 rifle to kill multiples of people. How many AR-15 owners/murderers have been “law abiding?” The laws to protect the sale of the AR-15 are made to protect the profits of the NRA and Republicans. Gov. Lee needs to fess up because he is not protecting the rights of law abiding citizens.

The Lipscomb baseball team earned its second ranked win of the season on Tuesday, May 2, with an 8-6 extra innings win over No. 6 Arkansas.

The Bisons (26-21, 17-6 in ASUN play) scored two runs in the top of the 11th inning to earn the victory in North Little Rock, Ark. at Dickey-Stephens Park, which is the home of the Seattle Mariners’ Double-A affiliate Arkansas Travelers.

The Razorbacks (33-12, 14-7 SEC) took an early 3-0 lead with a high-scoring bottom of the first inning. Lipscomb earned one run back in the 3rd when Georgia transfer Caleb Ketchup homered to center field.

The Bisons tacked on two more in the fourth inning to tie the game at 3-3 after Mason Lundgrin scored on Jake Berg’s fielder’s choice and Trace Willhoite reached home on Parks Bouck’s fielder’s choice.

Lipscomb scored ahead 6-3 in the sixth inning when David Coppedge scored on

a bases-loaded walk, Berg plated on a wild pitch, and Bouck scored on a sacrifice fly.

Arkansas responded with a trio of runs scored from wild pitches in the eighth inning, which sent the game to extras. After a scoreless 10th inning, Willhoite then broke the tie in the 11th with a single to left field, scoring Alex Vergara.

Lundgrin scored on a sacrifice fly for the eighth and final run, and closer Hayden Frank retired the Arkansas side to secure the Lipscomb win.

Frank earned the win on the mound after pitching the final 3.1 innings and allowing just one hit while striking out four Razorbacks. In total, Lipscomb pitchers struck out 12 Arkansas batters.

Lipscomb also took down No. 18 Louisville 12-7 on the road on April 4. The Bisons are currently tied for first in the ASUN standings.

Predators’ draft selection set after Blackhawks win NHL Draft Lottery

BY JOHN GLENNON

The Predators’ luck wasn’t enough to overcome overwhelming odds in the NHL Draft Lottery on Monday.

They were given a 0.5 percent chance of winning the lottery and moving up 10 spots — from the 15th pick to the fifth — in the first round of this summer’s draft, which will be held June 27-28 at Bridgestone Arena.

Instead, it was the Predators’ Central Division rival, the Chicago Blackhawks, who won the lottery and earned the first overall pick, meaning the Preds will likely see plenty of superstar phenom Connor Bedard for the

next decade or two.

The Predators remained at No. 15, where they were slotted based on last season’s record of 42-32-8.

But don’t feel too sorry for the Preds heading into the draft.

In large part because of the players they dealt leading up to the trade deadline, Nashville has amassed a huge amount of draft capital for June’s big event. The Predators have a whopping 13 selections — a total that includes two first-round picks, two second-round picks, three third-round picks,

three fourth-round picks, two fifth-round picks and one sixth-round pick.

Who might the Predators select in the first round, assuming they remain at No. 15?

The Athletic ranks speedy, puck-moving defenseman Tom Willander from Sweden as the 15th-best overall prospect, while the Canadian sports website Sportsnet has skilled Czechian right wing Eduard Sale ranked 15th. The NHL’s Central Scouting Service lists high-scoring Canadian left wing Andrew Cristall as its 15th-best North American prospect among skaters, and 6-5, 203-pound

Czechian defenseman Jakub Dvorak as its 15th-best European prospect.

The Predators have chosen forwards with five of their last six first-round picks: Joakim Kemell (2022), Fedor Svechkov (2021), Zachary L’Heureux (also 2021), Philip Tomasino (2019) and Eeli Tolvanen (2017). Nashville hasn’t chosen a defenseman in the first round since Dante Fabbro in 2016. This story was first published by our sister publication Nashville Post.

BUSINESS BRIEFS

Lipscomb buys additional campus-area property

BY WILLIAM WILLIAMS

Lipscomb has paid about $469,550 for a campus-area property, the latest in a series of real estate deals the university has undertaken.

The Green Hills property is located at 1100 Maplehurst Ave. and offers a singlefamily home. It sits adjacent to the site of the Lipscomb Academy Athletic Complex.

According to a Davidson County Register of Deeds document, the sellers were five individuals who paid $282,000 for the property in early 2010, Metro records show, and details about whom the Post was unable to determine.

Of note, the sellers bought the property from Lipscomb in 1997 for $98,000.

According to Metro records, Lipscomb also owns four other properties located on the north side of Maplehurst Avenue, the most recent of which (1108 Maplehurst) it acquired in 2019. The university does not own three adjacent properties on the street’s north side (1103-1104-1106 Maplehurst).

The transaction follows Lipscomb having paid approximately $3.26 million in February for a small home at 1602 Glen Echo Road. The seller in that deal was RER Partnership, with which the university has undertaken multiple deals the past few years.

RER Partnership includes multiple members of Nashville’s Church family. Register of Deeds documents note RER offers an address that is shared with Green Hills-based auto insurance company Church & Associates, led by Bruce Church. Steve Church is also a member of the partnership. Lipscomb officials have declined to comment on their multiple property acquisitions

Parthenon to host wet-plate

photography exhibit May 18-Sept. 10 STAFF REPORTS

The Parthenon and Centennial Park Conservancy will host a new exhibit of wet-plate photographs by Florida-based artist London Amara, opening May 18 and running through Sept. 10 in the Parthenon’s East Gallery.

A free opening reception will take place from 6-8 p.m. on May 18, and guests can RSVP online here.

“London Amara: The Alchemy of Spirit and Light” features 33 large-format collodion wet-plate photographs and includes a displayed wet-plate camera and an explanation of the photography process for visitors.

“We are used to thinking of photographs as images of things, but London Amara is interested in exploring light which results in photographs that are mysterious and dreamlike,” a news release for the event reads. “In the age of Instagram, the ‘flaws’ in these photographs are celebrated as the unique characteristics of the wet-plate collodion process.

“This method of photography was in use during the Tennessee Centennial Exposition. In fact, Parthenon visitors will pass by examples on the way to the art galleries. I think they will be surprised to learn these hauntingly beautiful photographs were made less than five years ago rather than 125 years ago and provide new entry points into

appreciating contemporary art.”

According to a news release, Amara uses the wet-plate process “to create intimate portraits and haunting images of the wooded landscapes of Florida, Ohio, California, and British Columbia,” inspired in part by the work of Sally Mann and Justine Kurland.

The Parthenon will also offer free

admission to all Metro Nashville Public Schools students, staff, faculty, and their families at the MNPS STEAM Night from 4:30-6:30 p.m. on June 13.

The Parthenon is open MondayThursday from 9 a.m.-7 p.m., FridaySaturday from 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m., and Sunday from 12:30-4:30 p.m.

Five free and cheap family things to do in middle Tennessee

BY AMANDA HAGGARD

There are more than enough ways to celebrate the upcoming Mother’s Day weekend. If you’re looking for something a little less costly, this list has a great spate of ways to spend time with the fam on the weekend. Or dad could possibly hit up the events with the kids while mom does, well, literally whatever she wants. Whatever hits you right. On this list, there’s also one event for folks missing their moms and a storytime with a spectacular local visual artist.

As part of our series on free and cheap things to do with the family, here is our weekly roundup of places to spend time together over the next week:

STRAWBERRY JUBILEE FESTIVAL

At the Nashville Farmers’ Market on May 13, the market will be celebrating all things strawberry. There will be bluegrass tunes from Greenwood Rye, food trucks, strawberry merchandise, and fresh strawberries. There will be a water play area for kids with farm animal props, a plantpotting station, a coloring and chalk area and a strawberry-themed photo booth.

MOTHER’S DAY MEMORIAL WIND CHIME WORKSHOP

Alive Hospice is hosting a Mother’s Day event for those grieving the loss of their parents. At the event, which is asking for a $5 donation per person for materials costs, attendees will create a wind chime made of found objects, personal mementos and unique tokens that remind you of your mother. “These chimes can be hung on a porch, in a garden, or in another location where they can add music and memories to the air. With each gentle breeze, you’ll be

reminded of your mother’s love,” the event listing says.

SPRING ART FAIR

Down in Murfreesboro, Wilderness Station will be hosting a free Spring Art Fair on May 13. Local artists will display and sell artwork that is inspired by nature or made with natural materials. Among the artists are painters, potters, jewelers and wood workers. The event also includes food trucks, and activities for kids. Wilderness Station is a beautiful spot to spend the day before Mother’s Day.

BLOCK PARTY AND TOUCH-A-TRUCK

In La Vergne, the city is slated to celebrate its annual Block Party at Veterans Memorial Park as well as a Touch-A-Truck event at the same location on May 13. The Block Party includes food trucks, vendor booths and family-friendly activities. The Touch-A-Truck portion allows kiddos to explore different kinds of vehicles and equipment and meet the folks who work on or operate them: Vehicles at the event will include emergency, construction, military and public service.

STORY TIME FRIENDS WITH OMARI BOOKER

On May 15 at the Nashville Public Library in East Nashville, visual artist Omari Booker will host Toddler Tales. Booker, who splits his time between Nashville and Los Angeles, says in the event description that his work is freedom through art and that his young audience should expect to hear that their life and art should reflect their “unique and intrinsic ability to be free.”

Lemon Mousse Cheesecake

BY EDIBLE NASHVILLE

Cheesecake is the perfect foil for sweet local strawberries. Macerating the berries -- combining them with sugar and letting them sit an hour or two -- draws out the

moisture and creates a syrupy mixture, perfect with creamy cheesecake. Baking this cheesecake in a water bath tempers the heat and keeps the texture creamy and soft.

3. Combine sour cream, remaining 1/3 cup sugar, and vanilla; mix well. Dollop onto edges of hot cheesecake, then gently spread over top. Place back in oven for 10 minutes and remove. Cheesecake will set as it sits. Chill 2 hours or overnight. Slice and serve with macerated berries.

Tiffany Circle Spring Gathering

BY BRENDA BATEY

PHOTOS BY BRENDA BATEY

The Red Cross Tiffany Circle Spring Gathering was held at the home of Rowena Cuffe and co-hosted by Karen Moore to thank female philanthropists for participating in the organization with donations of ten thousand dollars or more annually.

Husbands Mike Cuffe and Bruce Moore were on hand to help welcome the guests.

The Tiffany Circle is a community of women leaders who advance the American Red Cross mission through an investment of time, talent and treasure by engaging women locally, nationally and internationally to help alleviate human suffering in the face of emergencies.

Celebrating 16 years, this group has raised more than $182 million to support vital services of the Red Cross, such as feeding and sheltering disaster-affected families, providing financial assistance to those affected by a home fire, purchasing bloodmobiles, delivering comfort kits for military members, and providing 20 million children around the world with lifesaving measles vaccinations.

After everyone enjoyed the food, beverages and mingling with other guests, host Rowena Cuffe delivered remarks about the importance of the American Red Cross and Tiffany Circle. Cuffe is the current chair of the Nashville Tiffany Circle.

Tennessee Region CEO Joel Sullivan introduced the speaker, Michael Jordan, VP of Service to the Armed Forces and International Services at the American Red Cross.

Jordan explained how the American Red Cross provides in-person support for military installations in 36 countries around the world, including the U.S.

A decorated combat veteran, Jordan has served the country since he was 18-years-

old, when he enlisted as an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves. He has since deployed to Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Desert Storm and restored a platoon that lost 241 marines, sailors, and soldiers in a suicide truck bombing in Beirut in 1983.

Jordan has won numerous awards and prior to joining the Red Cross he had a 27year career as an executive in Fortune 500 healthcare companies. He holds a doctor’s degree of education from Pepperdine University, a master’s in organizational management, and a dual bachelor’s in business and communications.

The delicious food for the evening was provided by The Salted Table, owned by Charles Hunter III, who specializes in providing in-home dining experiences.

The menu offered several charcuterie boards with assorted cheeses, meats, olives, dried and fresh fruit, breads and crackers. Tables were also laden with chicken and tomato skewers, mini crab cakes, and red pepper hummus with various crudites.

Everyone also loved the passed hors d’oeuvres, which included smoked salmon crostini with Boursin cheese, truffle shrimp and smoked grit cakes with tomato jam.

Mini desserts included brownie bites with Bourbon buttercream, malted milk cupcakes, and lemon pudding cups with strawberry jam.

Memma’s Flowers provided several lovely floral arrangements using pink, cream and lavender roses, hydrangeas and other colorful blooms.

As guests were leaving the event, they were presented with passport covers and cookies shaped like roses as mementos of the evening.

Wedgewood-Houston Art Crawl

BY BRENDA BATEY

PHOTOS BY BRENDA BATEY

On the first Saturday of every month, Nashville art lovers enjoy an art crawl, as they visit about a dozen galleries within walking distance in Wedgewood-Houston (WEHO).

The WeHo Art Crawl (formerly Arts & Music at Wedgewood-Houston) is free and open to the public.

Part of the event was centered around The Packing Plant, at 507 Hagan Street, where several art galleries are housed.

One of the galleries, Open Gallery, is operated by Lipscomb University students and features works by encaustic artist Kelley Rice for the month of May. Other galleries in the building showcase a variety of art.

Outside of The Packing Plant were additional artists and crafts people selling paintings, jewelry and even creating portraits on site.

Plus a free lending library is available each month.

New Heights Brewing provided free drinks for visitors, asking only a donation, and WXNA was on hand, playing music to liven up the scene.

Zeitgeist is another gallery open for the crawl and it is located across the street from The Packing Plant. Works by Karen Seapker are on display through June 24.

Food trucks and other opportunities to purchase edibles are available during the event.

Participating art galleries include: David Lusk Gallery, 185 Alley Gallery, Coop, Zeitgeist, Nashville Poetry Library, Open Gallery, Risology Club, Unrequited Leisure, WAG, Julia Martin Gallery, Cecret Gallery, Prima Signa Gallery, Rockwall Gallery, and Turnip Green Creative Reuse.
