Members and friends of the Bordeaux community met with state Rep. Brenda Gilmore for ‘Walk Bordeaux’ on the morning of October 10.

This overcast day did not stop approximately 50 dedicated Nashville citizens from gathering and walking a mile for a purpose. Gilmore led the walk in an effort to bring awareness to the need for public sidewalks in the Bordeaux community.
