Tax Free Weekend, Tips to Stay Safe, and 'You Are So Nashville If …'

The Nashville Scene’s annual “You Are So Nashville If …” issue hit stands yesterday! In today’s Friday News Roundup, host Grace Fuisz, producer Marie Cecile Anderson, and executive producer Whitney Pastorek are reading the winners, picking their favorites from the honorable mentions, and celebrating all of our dark-humored and very smart neighbors who submitted great entries this year. In the wake of another missing tourist (she has thankfully been found alive), we’re also talking about how we keep ourselves safe when we’re out for a night on the town. And then we’re helping you prepare for Tax Free Weekend with the introduction of our newest ridiculous game show, Will It Tax? (The answers may surprise you.) Thanks to Tecovas, our Western wear faves, for being our exclusive launch sponsor! Read Stephen Elliott’s piece “How Downtown Nashville Morphed from Music City to Party City” in the Nashville Banner here. Read the lists of what is and is not tax free this weekend here. Early voting for the August 1 primary election is open now through July 27! Here is a sample ballot for the Aug. 1 election with early voting locations and hours. Here is a non-partisan voter guide for the Aug. 1 election. Check your voter registration here. If you haven’t yet registered to vote, you cannot vote in the Aug. 1 election — but you can still register for the Nov. 5th federal election. Want some more City Cast Nashville news?
