NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Folks who made their way downtown to join Nashville's 4th of July celebration had to deal with temps nearly hitting the century mark; in fact, it was the 3rd hottest 4th of July in Nashville history.
The music from the live performances wasn't the only sound dominating Lower Broadway today; the motors of oscillating fans misting passersby were also noticeable at several hydration stations throughout the downtown area.
Many who arrived from out of town told us they didn't anticipate the heat, while others said they still haven't acclimated to it even after years of calling Nashville home, all as thousands of people braved that heat to celebrate Independence Day.
“Here’s a great story that proves everyone has something to give, regardless of age OR personal challenges. Our Austin Pollack introduces us to Ms Sylvia Mooney. At age 80, she’s not sitting still. Instead, she using her skills to craft compassion for others… one stitch at a time. Her crochet creations go to non-profits to help our homeless neighbors. You’ll be surprised to learn she does it all, while facing a serious health issue. Bravo Sylvia!”
