Sorry, good ol’ boys, but it’s time to stop laughing at vegans. A plant-based diet is no longer the tree-hugging, granola-crunching butt of the joke. Veganism is a lifestyle embraced by millions lifestyle website WTVOX estimates that there are roughly 78 million vegans worldwide and numbers are on the rise. According to The Vegan Society, “retail sales of plant-based meat grew 31 percent, while total U.S. retail meat sales grew just 5 percent” between 2017 and 2019, and in recent years the “consumption of plant milk increased by 61 percent while consumption of cow’s milk decreased by 22 percent.”
Incubation eateries to operate from structure’s bays
Local commercial real estate investor and developer Tyler Cauble has announced some specifics for and released images of a former East Nashville car wash property at which he is planning a food and beverage business to open in mid-2021.
To be called The Wash, the business will offer eateries in the bays of the car wash structure. The business is being eyed as providing alternative options to chefs and restaurant owners who may not want to (or be able to) invest heavily in a permanent, conventional space. As such, Cauble said the operators can incubate their food and beverage businesses via, if they choose, short-term leases.

Diary Of A Fugue Year
Can a lifetime of close listening prepare a person for a year like 2020?
I. Short Circuiting
On the first day of December in the year of our collective dread 2020, my editor called me to have the annual conversation. How, Jacob wanted to know, do you plan to write about this year in music? Our back-and-forth fluctuated between the general NPR Music was about to publish its lists of 2020 s best songs and albums and the personal. He talked about listening to sad disco while taking long summer runs in upstate New York. I confessed that while I d marveled at the women rappers, Black country singers and pop-star androgynes who d made social media fun, all I d wanted to do most nights in Nashville was put on headphones and listen to a folkie whisper in my ear. Our talk of bests, our generalizations and volleyed opinions, felt heartwarmingly familiar. But then he asked me a question that jarred me out of that comfort zone.
