That's nice. We ate at the Rain Forest Cafe a couple of years ago and then walked down to the aquarium restaurant and looked at the fish, and at the sting ray pool next door. It is/was a terrific mall.

Well, that is good to know. I wonder how many they actually lost because it does mention that most survived. I like the mall, but I hate what happened to Opryland Hotel much moreso. It is really beautiful there. I hope they are able to get everything cleaned and repaired by the holiday season. It would be a great way to re-open the place with the display of the Christmas lights.

They are doing a telethon this weekend (Sunday night) at the Ryman Auditorium, featuring most of the major country acts, from 8 to 11 p.m. Eastern Time, which will be carried live on GAC TV, as well as on WSM radio (which you can hear live on the link in my signature).

I hope they raise a lot of money. A lot of folks did not have flood insurance, they have said.

As a relatively new member here I just found this thread.
We were hit kind of hard by the flood ourselves. Our basement took on close to seven feet of water greatly effecting our foundation and destroying the hot water heater, AC unit and duct work, and breakers for the house.
We were displaced for about a week due to lack of water and electricity but have been back in the house for about three weeks now. We've now got hot water and electricty, however the cost we're looking out for replacing the ac, duct work and foundation work is astronomical. FEMA...well the less said about these guys the better. It's been another disaster working with them and we don't know if they're going to be much of any assistance. On top of that we've not been able to aquire financing for the ac foundation work so we're really concerned with what's going to happen. We simply can't afford to get any of it done.
It's tough to feel bad for ourselves looking at the levels of damage that have gone through Nashville with this. Entire homes and businesses washed away. We may have only had our basement flooded...but it has completely disrupted our lives. It's tough keeping it in perspective.
Ok enough with the negativity. I'll say this, Nashville has shown itself to be a strong community through all this and I'm proud of her.

Great to hear from you. Have you talked to the Community Foundation (where the GAC and Opry fund-raising went), or the Red Cross, or the Salvation Army? All of them were working on flood relief. You may qualify for a mixture of grants and low-interest loans to get it done. Even though this page is about donations, you can probably contact these organizations from this page: http://www.tennessean.com/article/2...8/Where+to+volunteer++make+donations+and+more
I also read of a big church coordinating some things. If you would like to PM me, perhaps with your e-mail address, I can let you know if I remember anything more. (I listen to WSM all day on line, and have some contacts that might be able to help.)
