It's not exactly aesthetically pleasing high art, but I'm still pleased that TDOT took the position they did.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – The Tennessee Department of Transportation has “respectfully denied” the Metro Council’s request to block the Nathan Bedford Forrest statue on Interstate 65. The council approved a resolution to ask TDOT to plant trees blocking its view to the public on July 8. The statue, which is surrounded by Confederate flags, sits on private property near the Harding Place exit. Monday, the department sent the following statement to News 2: TDOT does not plant foliage on its right-of-way with the sole intention of blocking items on private property based on what might be offensive to some and not to others. Therefore, the request of Metro Nashville’s Council to have TDOT plant vegetation on I-65 near the Harding Place Exit is respectfully denied.

BRAVO
(translation: POUND SAND MAGGOTS!)
They probably knew that those poor trees would have all sorts of problems.
And right now opposition groups are doing deep brackround on everyone who could possibly be responsible for the TDOT reply and will go after them personally.
One would think the Confederate hero statues were pornographic, but THAT sort of view parades through streets and is painted on sides of buildings.
The Nashville Metro Council is one of the most corrupt in the nation.
It’s private property. Besides, it looks like a merry-go-round ride horse. He could at least put up a better statue and he NEVER changes the flags. They get all frayed.
Oh yeah
State of TN requires commission approval of altering historical stuff which has stymied other stuff so far
Charlie Tygard is a good man
The rest
Well
You have to catch them on a good day
The favors I did after the 2010 flood to get reopened etc
Quid pro quo
It’s urban libtards
The black bloc is the determiner
Meet them on board you get results
It’s a new day
I would pay myself to replace that monstrosity with something more flattering to Bedford
The site owner is a diff sort
SCV needs to guard this place 24\7 from punks who will undoubtedly target it
Don’t you love all the Nashville mayor commercials? They are mostly all trying to out-lib the other. Isn’t one stupid bi*ch running as the “progressive choice”?
Another metrosexual neutered guy runs on “equality for women”. God, I’m glad I don’t live in Davidson County.
I'm still waiting for the White hut flag to be flown at half mast too...

Good news, but that is one butt-ugly Statue...;-)

I’ve never seen the statue, until I clicked on the link....
Monstrosity is being kind....
The horse and rider looks like something you put on your front lawn driveway if you want the world to know how tacky you are...
One little victory, yes.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Time for step number two.
I mean u can get a cast hard plastic regular bust on decent aggregate cement block
Like those faux bronzes at TJ MAXX mounted
He had that made by a guy in Lebanon TN who did cartoonish stuff
I support his right and the flags
But the site owner is not my cup of tea as a defender of Southern culture
But you can’t be too choosey I guess
He put his money where his mouth is
The libtard city of Nashville tried to stop him when he first started nearly 20 years ago
Didn’t one of the liberal women candidates do a marriage ceremony for a “gay” couple the minute the Supreme Court gave the go-ahead?
Agree wholeheartedly, Charlie Tygard is a good man, one of the few good ones on the Council.
It isn’t just the City Council, the Planning Commission, Stormwater Board, and so many of the commissions that are supposed to protect the public interest are bought and sold by a few connected attorneys and politicians.
