Shelia Miller+FollowNorth Nashville’s pizza party with a purposeFree pizza, face painting, and music brought North Nashville neighbors together at Slim and Husky’s, but the real takeaway was the chance to connect with resources and learn about summer camp opportunities at Tennessee State University. Local families discovered how Amazon Access can help make everyday essentials more affordable, while CAMP HBCYouth shared how their summer camp at TSU gives kids a taste of HBCU life—complete with STEAM projects and campus tours. It’s more than just a party; it’s about opening doors for kids and making sure everyone knows what’s out there for them. Anyone else think more events like this could really strengthen our community? #News #NorthNashville #CommunityMatters00Share
Lindsay Wood+FollowNashville church steps in to save Jefferson St. legacyMount 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 #CommunityLegacy00Share
Teresa Graham+FollowNorth Nashville’s legacy gets a new chapterMary’s Old Fashioned Pit BBQ was more than a restaurant on Jefferson Street—it was a community anchor for decades. Now, with Mary’s doors closed, Mt. Zion Church is stepping in to keep that spirit alive by buying the building and turning it into a hub for outreach and support. Imagine the same spot that once brought neighbors together over BBQ now serving as a center for food, clothing, and resources for North Nashville. How do you feel about historic spaces being reimagined to meet today’s needs? What memories do you have of Mary’s or Jefferson Street? #Religion #NorthNashville #CommunityLegacy00Share
