Peter Thiel Draws Hundreds Downtown for 'Antichrist' Lectures (opens the original)
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 manâs 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)
Read excerpt
Split Nashville into 35 districts, and pretty quickly neighbors become councilmembers.
