In the early-morning hours of Christmas Day, an RV loaded with explosives was detonated on Second Avenue in Nashville, Tennessee.
An estimated 41 businesses were damaged in the blast that appears to have been targeted at an AT&T facility on the block.
While local business owners say they ve received early signs of support, recovery efforts of this scale have taken months, if not years.
