There are still tables at the Rodizio Grill set for a Christmas Day meal.
The Second Avenue steakhouse was rocked by the Dec. 25 bombing in Nashville that damaged many of the oldest buildings in the city, but construction crews were only recently cleared to start cleanup inside.
As they dug through the scrap and debris, they found everything from a Christmas tree to a wineglass to hanging artwork largely untouched and eerily frozen in time.
Construction crews are working building-by-building — and in some cases, brick-by-brick — to rebuild Second Avenue. As they work, the city's Second Avenue Project Management Team is collaborating with building owners, residents and the Metro Nashville Historical Commission to map out the historic business district's future.
