When devastatingfloodwaters flowedthrough the streets ofNashville in May 2010,

people all over America wondered ifMusic City could recover from such atragedy. But Nashville residents knewbetter. As the news stories unfolded andthe waters receded, Music City residentsand businesses stood armed and readyto piece their city back together.

ad O nahvieOne nonprofit that rose to the

challenge of rebuilding the city wasHands On Nashville, an organizationthat was founded in 1991 to connectvolunteers to areas where they areneeded. In 2007, HON became a firstresponder in Metros Comprehensive

Emergency Management Plan, andwhen the Nashville f lood hit, HONproved its worth. In t he first threeweeks after the f lood, more than15,000 people participated involunteer programming.

Thanks to HONs quick actions, inthe days following the f lood, volunteersturned out in droves to tear out drywall,counsel flood victims, hand out foodand water, and attend to a variety ofother needs in Nashvilles hardest-hitcommunities. Thanks to the enormousresponse of Nashvillians wanting to lenda hand, Hands On Nashville receivedaccolades from other branches of thenational nonprofit.

organization that suffered tremendouslyfrom floodwaters was Goodwill Industries.

The primary damage was to ourcorporate complex downtown, saysSusan Kay-Pittman, who handles crisiscommunications for Goodwill. Ourcorporate office had about 18 inches ofwater. In the warehouse, we had waterup to some of the drivers seats in ourbig rigs. Our drywall and carpet had tobe replaced, as well as a lot of electronics.The damage was absolutely devastating.

Luckily, Goodwill Industriesreceived the same support as most

other Nashville businesses.We have had tremendous supportfrom the community, Kay-Pittman

says. Even though they had suffereddamages, our donors still thought about

helping others even in the wake of losingeverything. [The f lood] was not a greattime for us, but it certainly proved thatthis is a strong company. Everyone fromthe president to the guys working on thedock were working shoulder to shoulder,pitching water out of our buildings.

SoundCheck Nashville a massiverehearsal studio where many ofNashvilles musicians stored equipmentand instruments suffered extensivedamage as well. After being buried

under floodwaters in May, SoundCheckNashville moved into a temporary home,where customers were able to clean and

sanitize t heir music equipment untilthe company moved back into its

permanent location in mid-July. Likeother businesses hit by floodwaters inMay, SoundCheck Nashville was able torebound over the summer.

Susan Kay-Pittman puts it best whendescribing Nashvilles response to thenatural disaster: Watching the cityrespond to the flood was incredible.Seeing all the volunteers come out torebuild Nashville made me so proudto call this place home.

many answers.Downtown living offers easy access

to the many entertainment and sportsvenues, and more than 150 restaurantsare within a short walk or cab ride. In

addition, if you live and a lso workdowntown, your daily driving commutecan easily be replaced by a 10- or even

five-minute walk. Plus, there are

excellent skyline views from several

venues throughout the city.

People enjoy being where the action

is, says Thomas Turner, president and

CEO of Nashville Downtown

organization whose mission is to

ultimately make the Nashville districtthe most compelling urban center in

There are currently more than 5,000residents enjoying all of the perks ofdowntown living, and that number isexpected to surpass 6,000 by the end

early 90 percent of the 500taxi drivers in Nashvilleare from foreign countries,and many of them are

refugees from Somalia, Sudan and Iraq.To make sure they can communicate

professionally with customers, read amap and navigate around Nashville, theTennessee Foreign Language Institutehas created a Taxi Pro HospitalityTraining Program that potential driversmust now pass before being granted acab license.

Its just one of many innovative andentrepreneurial ventures occurring

throughout Nashville these days.In the past, customers have

complained that they get nervous whendrivers speak in their native language,which is often Arabic, so we insist thatdrivers only speak English even if itsbroken English, says Angela Harris,Taxi Pro program director at TennesseeForeign Language Institute, whoseprogram is the only one of its kind inthe country. Also in the past, manyMuslim drivers would have issuestaking passengers to a bar, or evenhelping a blind woman into a cabbecause some countries forbid men

and women strangers to have any physicalcontact. We tell the drivers if they cantget past those issues, they wont be hired.We tell them that this is a professionwhere they will get better tips if they arekind and cordial to customers.

eathy OtooInnovative in a wholly dif ferent way

are the potentially life-saving advanceshappening at Sarah Cannon ResearchInstitute, where a clinical tria l isunderway to combat triple negativebreast cancer, a rare but truly seriousform of breast cancer.

About 20 percent of patients withbreast cancer have triple negative, which

is immediately viewed as a deathsentence or having very limited options,says Dee Anna Smith, CEO of SarahCannon Research Institute. But ourclinical trial is helping this patient basebecause we have access to the latestinformation on new therapies andtreatments. It is an amazing trial that willhopefully result in great breakthroughs.

nove pproachAnother innovative venture taking

place in Nashville is Read 180, which isoverseen by the Vanderbilt UniversityOffice of Technology Transfer and

Enterprise Development. Read 180 wasdeveloped by the universitys Peabody

College of Education & HumanDevelopment as an advanced toolfor teaching older kids how to read.

We licensed the program toScholastic.com, the folks who publishedHarry Potter, and it provides age-appropriate lesson plans, materials,games and activities to help teachersengage older students, says ChrisMcKinney, director for the Office ofTechnology Transfer and EnterpriseDevelopment. Students often make a

180-degree turn in their reading andcomprehension in a relatively shortamount of time.

more brai storerOther exciting initiatives include

Meharry Medical College earningseveral federal grants to research healthdisparities, and Emdeon, a health careinformation technology company,devising new and advanced revenue andpayment cycle solutions. Meanwhile,BioMimetic Therapeutics is making biggains in utilizing purified humanplatelet-derived growth factor.

All of us in the innovation sector arelucky people, McKinney says. We get tosee some of the hottest new technologies,

nashville is maing a real push to improve itsrecycling and energy-savings eorts, with agoal o eventually becoming the most sustainablecity in the entire Southeast.

Mie Blosser, who served on the Mayor's reen

ibbon Committee and is vice president o

environment, health and saety with Nashville-based

P Building Products, says the city has even hired a

permanent director o sustainability who speciically

represents the Mayor's Oice.

"educing overall energy usage or a city as large

as Nashville is a daunting tas it could tae 20 or 25

years to reach the ultimate goal," Blosser says. "But

there are 70 recommendations on the table to guide

Nashville's uture along a sustainability path, andsome programs are already in place."

Those programs include an electric car-charging

station in downtown Nashville, along with bie-share

and car-share initiatives. Car sharing involves ive

energy-eicient vehicles pared throughout Nashville

that can be rented and used by the public or an houror two at a time, on any day.

Blosser also points out that the P Building Products

company he wors or is trying to become a showpiece

o sustainability. One eample is that 76 percent o

current energy used throughout the P corporation

is renewable energy.

"s or Nashville, a riverront development project

is moving orward so that the city will soon see some

very green development occurring on both sides o

the Cumberland iver," Blosser says. "t will result in

pars as well as waling and biing trails. Mayor karl

Dean is determined to be proactive on air, water, trees,arming and land use issues. citing environmental

and sustainability results are starting to be achieved,

and things will only get better." Kevin Litwin
