About this audio guide
This guide to Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park in Nashville follows a single idea born in nineteen eighty-eight, when a company historian named John Bridges wandered into a condemned Germantown school and looked out a broken window. It traces how his private sketch reached Aladdin Industries executive Victor Johnson junior and then Governor Ned McWherter, and what it took to turn one man's private view of the Capitol into a public park. Stand facing south for the same sightline that started it all.
