    NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — One of Nashville’s oldest and largest homeless encampments has officially been closed. As of Tuesday, workers are still clearing out “Old Tent City,” which has been a constant for people experiencing homelessness in Nashville near Anthes Drive since the 1980s. This is not the first time Metro has demolished the encampment, usually citing safety concerns, and advocates for the city’s homeless population told News 2 it may not be the last.

    NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – CMA Fest is expanding its footprint in downtown Nashville this year, so local businesses are gearing up for the influx of crowds on Broadway and beyond. “It’s like the championship of bartenders for downtown,” Faith Vaughns, a bartender at Mellow Mushroom, said. Downtown bars are used to being busy during the summer in Music City, but employees in that area told News 2 CMA Fest is something they prepare for every year. “It gets pretty crazy. It’s insane,” Vaughns added.
