WSMV 4 (NBC) in Nashville is reporting tonight that Metro Nashville Mayor Karl Dean (at left) has decided that the Tennessee State Fair will no longer occupy a portion of the 117 acres near Bransford Avenue that is also home to a major flea market, the local roller-girls franchise and auto racing. We've long thought that the Metro's prime real estate would be a great place for a corporate sci-tech R&D and incubator campus, or a conference and exhibitions center. The mayor's decision follows a consultant's report and many years' debate.
