You're buttering me up

...

I'm gonna take those good looks straight to the eye of the storm.

We're gonna go to Broadway.

That's downtown Nashville, where all the bachelorettes are.

And you know what? They aren't half bad, 'cause you know what? They know where to go, and they know where to drink, and I also know how to do the same.

We're gonna go to Robert's Western World.

Mm.

Come on.

And, uh, I'm gonna take those good looks- [laughs] I'm gonna take those good looks straight to the eye of the storm.

So what's the group that's building the benches, To Nashville With Love, and, and why did they start doing it?

Well, they are folks who love a little good trouble.

They call themselves To Nashville With Love.

It's a coalition of clergy, transit and pedestrian advocates, and super passionate people who work with our unhoused community.

So what I like about it is that rather than, you know, freezing in despair, these folks were empowered to work together to help their neighbors after seeing these people who...

You know, they're seeing elderly people waiting for the bus.

They're seeing parents with children waiting for the bus, people who are on their way to work who are about to be on their feet all day.

So when did they start putting up benches, and, and then when did the government start removing them?
