Green Hills Doesn't Wait for Downtown — It Shows Up on the East Bank

A new free monthly series called Eastpoint has staked out a spot on Nashville's East Bank, giving the city's working creative crowd a standing reason to gather without a cover charge. The East Bank has spent the last few years becoming the place Nashville points to when it wants to show what's next, and a recurring, no-cost series says the neighborhood is settling into a real rhythm rather than a one-off moment. For a city where the interesting rooms are rarely the ones with a velvet rope, that's the appeal.
