FALL TREATS IN MUSIC CITY

In my humble but very strong opinion, fall treats are the best part of the season. Naturally, I put together a list of some of the best spots to find all those cozy autumnal flavors around Nashville! And shoutout to my amazing sis, Isabelle, a pastry chef at Five Daughters Bakery, who decorated those bad boys^! 👏

THIS WEEKEND

LOCALS ONLY

• Unfortunately, the neighborhood drama continues as a group of nearby Belle Meade Highlands residents has expanded its legal fight with Metro and Cheekwood, raising concerns about noise, property access, and zoning. If protecting this Nashville gem is important to you, consider signing the community petition.

• Since she rose to fame right here in Nashville, I’m claiming her as an honorary local. Our girl Taylor Swift is dropping her new single “Patient Zero” TOMORROW!!! Who else is gonna be listening on repeat!?
