On Christmas Day, 2020, a bomb tore through a section of historic downtown Nashville. This bomb left in its wake untold destruction to historically and architecturally significant buildings that make up the identity of a part of the downtown core. This area of the city was home not only to businesses and entertainment venues, but was also a vibrant neighborhood, home to an eclectic blend of artists, business people, and community leaders.
