With the help of local journalists, artists, activists, experts, and everyday residents, we explore this promising, frustrating, still-sorta-small town, where old bumps up against new, natives adapt to transplants, and everybody struggles to navigate the ‘Binge Drinking Tourism Industrial Complex’ that threatens to consume us all.

It’s like a backyard barbecue and the whole town’s invited, so whether you’ve lived here for a blink or a lifetime, we hope you’ll pull up a lawn chair and sit a while.

    ‘Your City Could Be Better’: How Nashville Is Beating Flock

    Did you know Nashville has repeatedly rejected the kind of surveillance technology that’s being used across the country? Banning tools like Flock cameras and regulating drone use is a local win in many folks’ eyes, though there are definitely local arguments in favor of the technology. Rachel Iacovone joins Your City Could Be Better to walk through all the measures that the city government has faced, why people have reason to fear the tech, and in which areas it may have actually brought some improvements.

    ‘Your City Could Be Better’: Why Is Pittsburgh’s Airport the Gold Standard? — Presented By City Cast Nashville

    The Nashville airport definitely has a lot going for it, but what it doesn’t have is its own electrical grid, like Pittsburgh’s does. For the past few years, Pittsburgh International Airport has been generating on-site electricity, more than it needs even at peak operation, to fortify itself against the kind of power outages that hit airports (unsettlingly often) across the world. City Cast Pittsburgh host Megan Harris brings David into the little-known world of airport energy independence, showing how a one-time investment can bring the kind of peace of mind that both travelers and operators hope for every day. Is there something your city is doing that we should be talking about? Email David now!  We’re also on Instagram: @yourcitycouldbebetter Looking to advertise on Your City Could Be Better?
