Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Thursday, May 1, 2025.
Nashville is buzzing with excitement today as Metallica takes the stage at Nissan Stadium tonight. Fans from across the region have been arriving since yesterday for what promises to be an unforgettable show. The band has several related events around town including a volunteer opportunity yesterday at Second Harvest Food Bank.
In breaking news, a tractor-trailer fire has closed I-24 westbound at mile marker 84 in Rutherford County. Emergency crews are on scene, and drivers should seek alternate routes for their morning commute.
Weather-wise, we need to be weather-aware today. The Storm 5 Alert is active with strong to severe storms expected throughout the day. Keep an eye on the skies and have your weather app handy as conditions could change rapidly.
At Metro Council, tensions ran high during the most recent meeting with some unexpected developments, including Councilmember Courtney Johnston voting against her own rezoning motion. Meanwhile, a controversial medical ethics bill has been signed into law by the governor despite significant opposition.
In business news, Kid Rock's new establishment called Detroit Cowboy is set to open on May 5 in downtown Nashville, adding another celebrity-owned venue to the city's entertainment district. Over on Monroe Street, Kroger will begin a major $22 million renovation project today that will expand the store's footprint.
Looking ahead to weekend events, Nashville Pride has announced its 2025 festival lineup for June, with community leaders preparing for a celebration of music, art, and LGBTQ+ advocacy. And mark your calendars for the 84th annual Iroquois Steeplechase on May 10 at Percy Warner Park. The beloved tradition typically draws over 25,000 spectators.
In public safety news, fire crews from Brentwood Fire and Rescue successfully extinguished a blaze on Holly Tree Gap Road Tuesday, and a Sumner County bus driver has been cited following a crash involving 19 students.
On a positive note, Middle Tennessee veterans were honored with an Honor Flight to Washington D.C. commemorating the Vietnam War anniversary. The trip provided these heroes a chance to visit memorials dedicated to their service and sacrifice.
In cultural news, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum is saying goodbye to their audio curator who's retiring after an impressive 51-year career preserving Nashville's musical heritage.
This has been Nashville Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
