The big Music City Center rubber-stamping last night evidently has people reading tea leaves for insights into Nashville's future. First our own Jeff Woods took a gander at the Magic 8-Ball, and now Roger Abramson files a dispatch dated July 8, 2017:
"We are of course very excited to have the Southern Baptist Convention back in town," said Mayor Randy Rayburn, elected to office in 2015 because people in Green Hills think he's just the swellest sort of chap, plus the $25,000 contribution from the powers-that-be at then-Gannett-owned-but-now-SouthComm-subsidiary Tennessean didn't hurt either. "I can speak from my own vast professional experience as a restaurant owner when I say that local bartenders relish the arrival of thousands of complete teetotalers to our fair city. Nothing says 'big fat tip' for a bartender like a round of Diet Cokes for everyone."

Whatever the Southern Baptist convention would be one of the great weeks for bars and adult businesses. They'll clean up with all those repressed folks in town.

Why do you want to take two Southern Baptists with you to go fishing?
Because if you take just one, he'll drink all of your beer.
