View all City Cast Nashville episodes

We can’t get enough of the news that a man who lives literally next door to Cheekwood is trying to get the Board of Zoning Appeals to give Cheekwood a stop work order due to traffic volume, so Marie Cecile Anderson is digging into all the details with executive producer Whitney Pastorek and musician at large Freddy Angelico. Plus: What did the mayor know about the zoo data center and when did he know it? We’ve also got your Pride preview for the weekend, and in our special members-only bonus segment, Hell Naw, it’s time to talk about poop.
