It’s almost that time of year again. We’ll soon know who is going to play in the World Series. Will the Cubs repeat or will it be another 108 years until we once again know the joy of victory?

Did you know Nashville has an Olympic history? It’s small, but real. While Atlanta hosted the 1996 Summer Games (and Salt Lake City the 2002 Winter Games), Nashville once mounted a strong campaign to host the 1996 Olympics—challenging ideas about its size and infrastructure.
