Listen "Who is Nashville's nightlife really for?"
Episode Synopsis
The honky-tonks on Lower Broadway contribute to Nashville's economy and its reputation as a destination party city. While "NashVegas" has become a playground for bachelorette parties, locals have pushed back — complaining about unruly tourists and under-regulated party vehicles. Things got so out of hand that the word "transportainment" made its first appearance in The New York Times last year.
In this episode, host Khalil Ekulona talks to some of the people who make Nashville's nightlife tick, and also asks the question: Who is Nashville's nightlife really for?
