Nashville finds itself embroiled in controversy as plans for country music star Morgan Wallen’s new bar sign are rejected by the Metropolitan Council of Nashville and Davidson County. The council voted 30-3 to deny the aerial encroachment, citing Wallen’s prior use of a racial slur and the pending felony and misdemeanor charges against him for throwing a chair off another Broadway bar’s six-story rooftop. The decision to reject the sign has sparked debate among council members and residents alike. Despite the rejection, Wallen’s new bar is set to open this Memorial Day weekend on Fourth Avenue North, adjacent to the Ryman Auditorium. The bar, named ‘This Bar and Tennessee Kitchen’ after one of Wallen’s songs, is already causing a stir in the city, with many questioning the appropriateness of honoring a figure involved in such controversial incidents. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
