Austin-based Jo’s Coffee is set to open inside Dream Nashville next month with breakfast tacos, pastries, and sandwiches on the menu. We hear the iced Turbo — made with espresso, hazelnut, chocolate, and cream — is a customer favorite. (Nashville Lifestyles)
Mansion Monday
This 11,200-sqft Brentwood estate is built for summer, thanks to a covered multi-level patio, pool, and two grilling stations. When it’s time to head indoors, there’s a two-story great room, an exercise room with a sauna, and more across three floors.
Plan Ahead
Vanderbilt football’s Black and Gold Spring Game is set for 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 18 at FirstBank Stadium, with free tickets available starting Thursday, April 2. Expect general admission seating and free parking, plus a pregame Vandyville setup with family-friendly activities.
Seasonal
No. 61. That’s where Nashville ranked on the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America’s list of the worst US cities for allergies this year. The list factored in pollen scores, over-the-counter allergy medicine use, and availability of board-certified allergists and immunologists.
Outdoors
An annual census of migratory monarch butterflies found that, while their numbers slightly increased last year, they are still at risk of extinction. Add native plants to your garden to give our winged friends a helping hand before their next migration — you can find them in Nashville at Gardens of Babylon Landscapes.

🔍 Metro zones in on downtown growth

Live or work downtown? The Metro Planning Department is taking a closer look at how Nashville’s urban core is growing — and how the city’s development tools are shaping that growth. The effort, called the Design and Development Strategy, includes public input opportunities.
What’s under review
Zoning, design standards, and other policies will be studied, including how they work together to guide development and align with existing plans such as NashvilleNext, the Imagine East Bank Vision Plan, and Choose How You Move.
Where it applies
The city’s urban core, with a focus on four subareas: Downtown, Midtown, Music Row, and the East Bank.
What comes next
Public meetings begin in April, followed by draft recommendations. Those recommendations will be shared during a future round of public meetings for additional feedback, with potential policy and zoning updates to follow. View the project’s three phrases + FAQ page.
Culture Club is expected to open this spring in Wedgewood-Houston, and I can’t be the only one refreshing the Instagram page for teasers such as this one.
