News Notes
Biz
  • Halcyon Bike Shop will temporarily close as it relocates from its home of 15 years in 12 South to a new, undisclosed location. The business will be open until Sunday, Oct. 8 and is hosting in-store discounts until then — think: half-off some bikes.
Eat
  • East Nashville’s Hunters Station is preparing to introduce two new tenants — stay tuned for more details. The news comes after Picnic Tap and Tacos Aurora closed recently, leaving three of the food court’s six spaces empty. Hugh Baby’s, Vui’s Kitchen, and Everbowl have locations inside. (Nashville Post)
Real Estate
  • A recent analysis by RentCafe ranks Nashville in the top 20 metros for apartment construction in 2023, with just shy of 9,000 new units anticipated this year. Music City jumped three spots to No. 15, just behind Seattle and ahead of Tampa. Review the report.
Award
  • Billy Strings saw back-to-back wins as the Americana Music Association’s Artist of the Year, as did The War and Treaty, who received the Duo/Group of the Year award. Other winners included Tyler Childers (Album of the Year) and Bonnie Raitt (Song of the Year). See the list. (Billboard)
Holiday
  • Yom Kippur begins at sundown this Sunday, Sept. 24, marking the beginning of the Day of Atonement and holiest day of the Jewish calendar. Those who observe will refrain from eating or drinking until nightfall on Monday, Sept. 25.

❤️ Big love for BNA

Study shows increase in traveler satisfaction at Nashville International Airport

Boeing, Boeing, gone. Despite a weathered year for flying (read: high passenger volumes + staff shortages), Nashville International Airport soared nine points on J.D. Power’s North America Airport Satisfaction Study — up to 799 on the 1,000-point scale.

How the study works

The study measures overall traveler satisfaction based on six factors — terminal facilities, airport arrival/departure, baggage claim, security check, check-in/baggage check + food, beverage, and retail.

BNA by the numbers

Though we can’t be positive what factors yielded higher results for BNA this year, we’re certainly satisfied with these airport improvements made from 2022 to 2023.
  • A record-breaking number of 99 nonstop destinations and ~600 arrivals + departures daily
  • Opened the 200,000-sqft Grand Lobby (aka more TSA lanes)
  • 18 (and counting) new concessions and retail options
  • 215-ft pedestrian bridge
  • Cell waiting lot more than doubled in size
Plus, in less than one week, the airport will open its International Arrivals Facility. Put that in the overhead bin for now — we’ll have more information for you in an upcoming newsletter.
Answered

We asked “What’s the Titans football memory or game that will forever stick in your mind?”

And here’s what you said:

“Christmas day 2000. The coldest I have ever been in my life. Game time temp = 27, wind chill = 10 to 15. 300s ran out of hot water in the second quarter, and my feet were numb by the middle of 3rd. Absolutely did not matter, as Titans won 31-0!! Titan up y’all...” — Grasshopper T.

“The Music City Miracle was my first time to attend a Titans game!” — Lynne S.

“Taking my little brother to his first NFL game on a Thursday night against the Jags and seeing Derrick Henry stiff arm the defense on his way to a 99-yard TD run! Seeing that whole play develop and the crowd get louder and louder is something we will never forget!” — Lanse M.
