Nashville Zoo at Grassmere

wrong?

We should make it clear for those who may not know, there was a plan, a proposal to build a data center next to the Nashville Zoo in south of downtown.

And really when we say next to not even like it was like the original, the, the, the thing that came out was like how big it was going to be and where it was going to be.

It's, it's sort of closer to the animals than the parking lot.

And, and, um, so I don't know that it's fully resolved, but we've come a long way to preventing that.

And again, um, yeah i mean it's i i also like to do it in a positive way like i'm not i'm not calling anyone a bad person i just don't want to see that happen there

right well as a uh 15-year members here of the uh nashville zoo thank you you're welcome in real time thank you and let us know what we can do to help Yeah.

Well, I think that's the thing is any of these, any of these cities that like, um, you, you should control your own fate in your city, you know, companies don't get to decide.

I mean, I just, are we going to give up all this for that? I mean, not to mention, aren't those data centers are so noisy and loud.

They're trying to put one through by the Nashville Zoo.

I know John Rich was working on that.

But there's so many things to fight that aren't right.

Both girls are doing very well, and, uh, they will obviously be, um, filling the, uh, social media pages of the Fort Worth Zoo over the next few months, so check it out.

The Nashville Zoo has announced the birth of two Javan ferret badgers.

Born to parents Peanut Butter and Jelly, the little ones are about six week old and are thriving in their behind-the-scenes area at the zoo.

Uh, they probably won't be visible to the public at any time, but, um, again, social media will allow you to, to fall in love with these incredible little animals.

And, uh, props to all of the facilities, uh, Shedd and Georgia Aquarium and Oceanográfica de Valencia and, uh, two of the SeaWorlds that have taken in these animals and, and, you know, seen this, this risk of, of happening, uh, and, and had to deal with these losses and getting to love these animals and being worried about them and, and all the things.

Just mad props.

Continuing with our updates, we also have an update on the proposed data center near the Nashville Zoo.

The first lawsuit filed by landowner DC BLOCKS challenged the moratorium on building data centers in the metro Nashville region that we told you was recently passed by the city council.

Do you still have snakes?

I, the only snake that I still have, and it's, I don't really have it now, is, is Sam, and Sam lives at the Nashville Zoo.

And when I was...

I had him for a long time, and then when The Conspirators got together around 2013, 2014, Sam was really big, and there was nobody at home that could handle him or feed him or do all that.

And so I finally had to come to terms with the fact that I can't just, I can't be gone.

Somebody's gotta be there.

And so a friend of mine here in Los Angeles, who's a curator for the LA Zoo, introduced me to the curator for the Nashville Zoo, who was looking for an anaconda.

And so Sam now lives at the Nashville Zoo, but he's not on display.

And it was just perfect.

If you guys live in Nashville and you haven't been to the Nashville Zoo, I mean, it is one of the best zoos I've ever been to.

Has a huge kids' play area.

Never been.

Um, 'cause we have a membership, so we, we can afford to go to the zoo for just an hour.

Hell yeah, Nashville Zoo, by the way.

Rock 'n' roll, Nashville Zoo.

Yeah.

I'm always gonna be Team Daphne.

While lethal injection was supposed to be a more acceptable method of death, Maher says it's the most likely to be botched.

The data center developer trying to build near the Nashville Zoo just hit a major roadblock in its fight with the city.

DC Blocks filed a federal lawsuit saying Metro's data center moratorium unfairly targeted the company.

This week, a judge dismissed the case.
