I don’t really know what you’re getting at anonymous-poster-with-three-posts who-probably-works-for-Calvert -Street. I don’t doubt that the Restore Our Fairgrounds group has resources. In the face of the relentlessly corrupt astroturfing by Darden and James Weaver, that is what it takes to fight.

P.S. - There are also some whatever millionaires or billionaires have been paying Darden Copeland since 2011, you would need to ask Darden who they are, I’m sure he would be happy to disclose: www.nashvillescene.com/news/the-man...

It’s time to have a vote on this. The intimidation and corruption by BMS and their lobbyists over the last 8 years have unfortunately made this a necessity.

I’ve head rumblings that James Weaver was all up in making this a big mess?

Jason Bergeron @jmberg.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

You’re playing this all wrong. Everyone in Nashville needs to say they hate this and it would be the worst thing to ever happen, which would then get the new (Vichy) Airport Authority to quickly change the name out of spite.

Jason Bergeron @jmberg.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Blame the right people then, because what you describe sounds much much more on Metro/the Fair Board. (Also, Ingram doesn’t “own” the stadium.)

Jason Bergeron @jmberg.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Well the Cooper admin. did completely lock NSC out of the speedway talks (out of spite) & let SMI write their own deal which was so bad it would have made any other non-speedway projects impossible. @freddieoconnell.bsky.social could end that right now by just saying there will not be a SMI deal

He posted on Reddit that he is a longtime fan of the legendary West End Chili’s and that seemed like an encouraging start.

You should put it in your front yard and have it dispense 🚠 tickets. It could become a new stop on the Art Crawl.

Certainly they would never consider an Edley’s Tacos rebrand. That would be a New Coke/Edsel-level mistake….

Jason Bergeron @jmberg.bsky.social · 17/06/2026

I think everyone on this thread should find common ground, by universally laughing at James Weaver showing up in what he clearly calculated was “hip bicycle person” attire…

It’s James Weaver trying to dress for the occasion….

It remains hard to process that there seems to have been zero accountability or Metro action to pursue recourse for the acts or omissions of any non-Metro entity responsible for this….

No kidding, one of the Titans’ lobbyists has been telling his other clients about this having been decided for over a year….

Jason Bergeron @jmberg.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

No, not necessarily directly , I don’t think. But wasn’t sure whether it could move the needle a bit on the negligence analysis…. Very very rusty on GTLA stuff.

How much would Metro Legal’s risk assessment change if these benches were accompanied by warning signage?

Is MNPD cool with their newly bestowed roles as tech support/white glove roadside assistance for wayward Waymos?

Some new, State-selected “major event” tourism projects will turn those frowns upside down for sure….

I can’t believe I’m writing this, but today is one of the greatest moments in baseball history history. It’s the 19th anniversary of the Fenway Pizza Throw featuring Don Orsillo and the late Jerry Remy with a guy who wasted a piece of cheese pizza.

LIUNA previously did polling that found the exact opposite. I have the polling because thy gave it to me. It’s almost as if LIUNA has just sold out for a quick buck from SMI and James Weaver. Maybe should ask Ethan Link and @davidrutledge.bsky.social about the financial terms of this work …

Thanks! I could not find it…

These projects could only be build in the tourist zone? What is that zone?

I guess it depends on one’s view of the comptroller…

Jason Bergeron @jmberg.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

I guess my take was the very cynical one…

Soooo… effectively, the Comptroller will just run this “Board”?

Yeah, the photo of the heap of benches, seemingly piled as callously as possible, did it for me….

They look like cheap, unlicensed, knockoff uniforms, which is actually pretty on brand when you really think about it….

The difference is child care and housing can work within the current limits of the current speedway. They are not possible under Bristol’s NASCAR and all year motorsport events venue plan that will increase event days by 4x or 5x. Pretty glaring difference that @stelliott.bsky.social misses here.
