📰 News we're reading
• This Historic Tennessee Church Has Painted Ceilings And Stained Glass Most Locals Have Never Seen (takingthekids.com) — Inside Assumption Church in Nashville's Germantown neighborhood, you'll find star-studded painted ceilings, restored stained glass, and murals uncovered after decades under paint, all recently refreshed in a major restoration. The article gives you the exact address, typical visiting hours, and context about its immigrant roots and historic bricks from Nashville's first Catholic church, making it easy to plan a quiet, art-filled local visit. 
• Nashville Police Use Gang Injunctions to Combat Repeat Downtown Crime (news-usa.today) — Downtown Nashville is now a testing ground for a new public safety tactic, as police use a temporary civil gang injunction to bar nine named individuals from key entertainment zones. Supporters say it could protect businesses and nightlife workers from repeat offenders, while critics warn it raises serious civil liberties questions that may shape future policy across mid-sized cities.
• New restrictions: When can Metro Nashville Police use drones? (fox17.com) — Metro Nashville has just limited when police can deploy drones, allowing them only for active shooters, hostage situations, missing-person searches, and declared emergencies like severe weather. Any new surveillance technology or pilot program must now be approved by Metro Council, and drone footage not used as evidence will be deleted after seven days. These changes follow a controversial pilot program in Madison and growing local concern over privacy and high-tech policing tools.
