Just curious, has Nashville experienced any looting following this devastating tornado? It's my understanding that Germantown and East Nashville, the areas affected the most, are gentrified areas? Any reports on looting? We had some in certain areas after Hurricane Florence. We all remember the Katrina stories.

Also, have the scuzzy, out-of-state, real estate investors come by offering to pay off the house note?

Even the “bad” areas of Nashville are still pretty decent.

What's racist about the thread?

Go put in a fresh tampon and then enlighten us.

Are you insinuating that the OP is racist because he’s discussing the potential for looting, as if looting is something specific to only a certain often-discriminated against demographic? Because if you are, maybe you’re the one being racist.

Yes, just not on a large scale.

I see no race mentioned in the OP. Care to share what race you think he's denigrating?

Not really at all. Not in East Nashville at least. Everyone has really banded together and helped one another. East Nashville is Nashville's most close-knit community (not really debatable imo), and they all rallied together and have helped all out - residents and businesses.

Rogers said looters took money out of the restaurant's safe and picked through the soda.


That place was hit really, really hard. I'd be shocked if the safe was still around the premises.

You’re the racist if you automatically associate looting with a minority group.

Nashville demographics is like 70% white 20% black and 10% Hispanic

There have been very isolated incidents of looting and not very many of them.

It is not a huge issue, although it is not totally non-existent. Germantown is the only area I've heard of it happening though.

It looks like quite a bit of the interior is still intact. But, yeah, he could just be full of shite too. Wouldn't be the first to use disaster to make a quick buck.

The outskirts of the Nashville hipster areas are still full-on culcha.
