Bell's Bend is the last rural enclave in Nashville (Davidson County), a natural peninsula surrounded by a large bend in the Cumberland River. This refuge is now threatened by an urban development proposition that would add a satellite "down town" with more than 40,000 daily workers and residents. This photo/video illustrates what will be lost if the land owners and the developers get their way.
