Muted Nashville New Year's celebration nixes exploding 2020
In this Dec. 31, 2019 photo, fireworks explode over Bicentennial Mall during the Jack Daniel's Music City Midnight New Year's Eve celebration in Nashville, Tenn. The Christmas morning bombing of the downtown tourist district forced organizers of what was already slated to be a very muted New Year’s celebration to dial it back even further. Nashville had already canceled its outdoor public concert for a televised one. But organizers had hoped to blow up a 2020 number and have fireworks as a way to say good riddance to a terrible year.
