Good afternoon, everyone. Saw a Tesla with a "No Elon" bumper sticker on it, like painting lamb's blood on your door jamb. A tame council meeting last night. Megan has the skinny to kick us off this afternoon. Onward, Davis. Last nightâs council meetingâgavel to gavel, minus announcementsâwas a very efficient hour and a half that highlighted the work-in-progress that is Metro Nashville.

Good afternoon, everyone. Well, it’s Tax Day—the best day of the year. Shovel over a slice of that hard-earned cash for ole Uncle Sam so you can have nice things like roads with potholes. Unfortunately for us, the IRS dropped some news yesterday that took the sweetness out of the day. Individuals and businesses that pay taxes in Tennessee now have until Monday, November 3rd to file.

Having lived 27 years outside of Tennessee, I’ve had plenty of opportunity to watch the places I’ve lived in grow and change with the times. My hometown of Aurora, IL, has changed dramatically in the past three decades, especially since I moved out as an adult to become a journalist. It’s even changed dramatically in the four years since I moved. It was curious, then, to return to my roots after years of working abroad to discover that Nashville came back with me.

Spartan(VOD Rental) David Mamet’s first-daughter-gone-wild political thriller didn’t make much of a box-office dent in 2004. Regardless, Kilmer’s turn as a rogue secret service agent dedicated to rescuing her from Saudi sex traffickers offers serious John Wayne in The Searchers vibes that proved the former Batman should have been as big of a stalwart action hero as that other bro from Top Gun.

Holland(Prime) Despite scattershot reviews, this largely Nashville shot Nicole Kidman neo-noir about a smalltown Michigan teacher who suspects her husband is having an affair is an unhinged trip that never quite veers into American Beauty’s urbanite contempt for the rest of us. With assists from Gael Garcia Bernal and Matthew Macfayden, this would have been a heck of a weekend at the art theater circa 2006.

There’s no crying at film festivals. Since the rise of Sundance in the 1980s, the right type of indie film has defined itself by its fringeness–the last holdover of Gen X irony that’s managed to survive in this cultural zeitgeist. Bawling openly is for people who watch The Notebook. But, when Bob Trevino Likes It screened at the Nashville Film Festival last September, the sound of sniffles was louder than the end credits music.

From Nissan and Kawasaki to Marubeni-Itochu Steel, Nashville and its rise to “It City” status has coincided with a marked increase of Japanese companies with a presence in the Metro area. But such international relationships are not merely signs of the American South’s global reach. They are an opportunity to create shared traditions that preserve the past while looking forward to the future. And that’s exactly what the Nashville Cherry Blossom Festival aims to do.

Good afternoon, everyone. A restatement of our purpose this morning: to bring character back to Nashville. When we started The Pamphleteer, our goal was to enliven and bring color back to discussions about local matters. In the days of yore, when papers like the Tennessean and Banner weren’t beholden to corporate masters or non-profits masquerading under the relentlessly boring promise to deliver pure information, local media brimmed with life.
