How Overlooked Buildings And Trees Can Reveal Wonderment Around Us

To combat our feelings of isolation and everyday repetitiveness, we present four short stories that deliver surprises about things we might otherwise overlook:

• What a tree in the backyard can tell us about environmental changes 

• How the past flickers on amid Nashville’s growing skyline

• Whether a famous 1904 short story accurately depicts Nashville

• How proximity to an interstate is a good thing for an Antioch cemetery

These stories are a testament to our observant listeners. When you notice interesting things and ask us to learn more, we find stories we’d otherwise miss! Prod us with your latest questions at curious.wpln.org.
