Brush collection begins on September 23, If you have brush for pick up have it on the curb by 7am on Tuesday.

Next collection time is December 10 2014.

“Residents in Metro Nashville’s Urban and General Services Districts have their brush and yard waste collected four times a year on a rotation schedule along 12 routes. Instead of chippers, Metro Public Works uses knuckle boom trucks equipped with a mechanical arm that lifts brush piles up and into a trailer that’s pulled behind the truck.

1. Put brush out before the first day the trucks are scheduled to be in your Area.
2. Place your brush where your garbage is collected – at the curb if your trash is collected there or in the alley if you have alley trash collection
3. Leaves and grass clippings can be put out with your limbs and other brush in brown paper bags ONLY. Plastic bags will not be accepted.

Hello everyone,
I recently learned that the Neighborhoods Resource Center (NRC) is at risk of being dissolved as a result of lack of funding. This will impact this city including this neighborhood and the strength of neighborhoods throughout Nashville quite negatively.

Some of you know my history of building the 12South Neighborhood Association. When I moved to 12S NA prostitutes worked 12South and Sevier Park was not fit for children or animals because of discarded needles and used condoms. Now businesses and families are clamoring to stake a claim in 12South. None of that would have happened if not for the education, empowerment, support, guidance and networking I received through the Neighborhoods Resource Center.

The Neighborhoods Resource Center also facilitated the recent Nashville Codes drive along on Nolensville Pike with the Assistant Director of Codes, Bill Penn. The Neighborhoods Resource Center was instrumental in assisting neighborhood associations bordering Nolensville gathering for a town hall meeting at South Sector to discuss the revitalization of the Nolensville Corridor.

Every individual in Nashville has been impacted whether directly or indirectly as a result of the work Neighborhoods Resource Center does throughout Nashville.

I am writing you because NRC needs our support now. Councilman Davis is proposing funding for NRC and I am asking you to write the metro council to ask them to support Councilman Davis’s proposal. I am attaching a link that will take you to a page where you may send a single email that will go to every council person.

I urge you to support Neighborhoods Resource Center now because they have been supporting us for the last 18 years. Time is of the essence. Please email today.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Vice President Biden’s visit to Nashville on Friday will necessitate brief security-related road closures between the airport and downtown as well as the downtown area itself. Motorists should expect these brief closures late Friday morning through mid to late afternoon.
In addition, parking meters will be bagged as part of no parking zones on Broadway between 3rd &18th Avenues, and West End Avenue between 16th and 20th Avenues. Parking will also be prohibited Friday on 4th Avenue from Commerce Street to Korean Veterans Boulevard, Malloy Street from Almond Street to 4th Avenue, and Korean Veterans Boulevard between 1st and 4th Avenues. Vehicles left in those marked no parking zones will be ticketed and towed.
Vice President Biden will be in Nashville as part of the National Governors Association Summer Meeting.

Southminster Presbyterian Church & the Society of St. Andrews is teaming up to sponsor their second BEAN DROP.

This bean drop benefits South End United Methodist Church, Hamilton United Methodist Church, and other food banks in the area. South End and Hamilton provide food over the summer for the families of school children who need help providing nutritious meals while their children are out of school.
Here’s how it works :

Someone from Southminster picks up the beans from a farm in Crossville on the afternoon of the 27th and brings them to Southminster where several volunteers wait to help unload. On Saturday morning a number of volunteers will bag the beans. These beans will be bagged in mesh bags provided by the Society of St. Andrew and delivered to various locations.

Come join us and help bags beans on June 28th. If you bring a plastic bag, you can even take a bag of beans to someone you know who needs them or take a few home to cook.

WE NEED YOUR HELP. PLEASE HELP US BAG BEANS FOR LOCAL FOOD BANKS
Saturday, June 28th, 9am to noon
