It’s the 10-year anniversary of Curious Nashville and we’re revisiting some of the weirdest and most surprising questions you’ve asked. This means we’re going underground to a fallout shelter, to the top of a skyscraper, and in between we’ll visit beehives, talk about dump trucks, and revisit some infamous pranksters. In this ep, you get to go behind the scenes of the reporting with WPLN Metro Reporter Cynthia Abrams and host Tony Gonzalez.

Curious Nashville is powered by listener questions — and what you ask often leads to wonderful stories, fascinating characters and even more curiosity about the community around us. Have a curious question? Hit us up at wpln.org/curious-nashville

This episode highlights these seven stories:

  1. How One Man Created A Peace Sign Visible From The Sky
  2. What’s Inside The Governor’s Old Fallout Shelter In The Woods?
  3. Whatever Happened To Nashville’s Revolving Restaurant?
  4. Arabic is the third-most spoken language in Tennessee. So why isn’t it offered on the state’s driver exam?
  5. Graves, lawn pranks, and other answers about the Tennessee State Capitol
  6. Stay back 100 feet? Here’s the truth about dump truck liability on Tennessee roads.
  7. Who cares for Centennial Park’s bee colony? Come along for a hive check with the volunteers
