    Peter Thiel Draws Hundreds Downtown for 'Antichrist' Lectures (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A crowd flocked to downtown Nashville Monday night for a different kind of show. Tech billionaire Peter Thiel brought the first installment of his four-part lecture series on the Antichrist to Broadway, drawing hundreds to the Grand Lodge of Tennessee for speculative theology that quickly turned into one man’s theory of everything. No journalists, pens or notebooks were allowed in the venue. Less than an hour after the lecture ended, the Scene obtained multiple full event transcripts and recor

    When Constituents Cross Boundaries With Local Elected Officials (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Split Nashville into 35 districts, and pretty quickly neighbors become councilmembers. Enjoy zoning quirks enough, start regularly attending weeknight neighborhood meetings and raise a few thousand dollars, and suddenly an after-hours hobby turns into a part-time job. For a little more than $25,000 a year, 40 members (35 district representatives plus five at-large members elected countywide) legislate twice a month — in between, there are emails, community meetings and the regular chilling fea

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Metro will honor a coveted pathway to Hume-Fogg Academic High School for all Meigs Academic Middle School students who qualify — despite a historically large class admitted to the magnet middle school by error in 2024. While it’s a relief for parents and students who count on top academics at Meigs and Hume-Fogg — both among the state's best-performing schools — the large class size may crowd out newcomers who depend on a lottery option for admission. An unspecified admissions mistake tw

    Super Bowl Pressures Timelines on East Bank (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Pressure from Super Bowl LXIV is already reshaping discussions about the East Bank. A unanimous vote Tuesday morning by the East Bank Development Authority, a government committee overseeing the area’s massive redevelopment, approved $75 million to extend the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge to the new Nissan Stadium to ensure “Super Bowl readiness.” The body’s members are also trying to hasten work by the Fallon Company, a Boston-based real estate developer, which clarified that its

    City Leaders Are Mentally Preparing to Remake Metro Council (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Metropolitik is a recurring column featuring the Scene’s analysis of Metro dealings. The Tennessee Supreme Court picked up its pace throughout the summer, issuing small flurries of decisions throughout July and August, but it has remained silent since an unrelated disbarment opinion on Sept. 4. Nashville has been waiting impatiently — maybe not the average resident, who likely can’t recall their specific council district number among the 35 apportioned districts across Davidson County, bu
