Mount Zion Baptist Church just bought the old Mary’s Bar-B-Que spot on Jefferson Street, outbidding outside developers to keep this historic North Nashville landmark in local hands. For neighbors who’ve watched the area change, this move feels like a big win for community pride and stability. The church plans to use the space for parking at first, but the real goal is a new Dream Center—offering programs, housing, and resources for residents. With so much of Jefferson Street’s history at risk, it’s inspiring to see a local institution step up. What do you think this means for the future of our neighborhood? #Religion #NorthNashville #CommunityLegacy
