When Carlos Partee was growing up in North Nashville, this neighborhood was his whole world. Everyone was here: parents, grandparents, uncles, cousins. And even neighbors who weren't blood relations were like kin. People knew each other. Jerome Moore started a business with his father on Buchanan, a historic street that has seen revitalization in recent years. As entrepreneurs themselves, Carlos and Jerome see a lot of positive change in the form of new businesses in the area. But not all of the change has been good. And as the Council of Elders have shared, they're not opposed to change — just do it the right way. At a gathering on Buchanan, a group of new neighbors talked about what that might look like, and took home a few words of wisdom from the elders.
