Your guide to getting a Real ID in Tennessee
Axios Nashville readers stepped up with several time-saving tips that could help you navigate the Real ID process without a tension headache. Why it matters: Learn from their mistakes and triumphs. ⏰ Go early: Lines typically get longer as the day goes on. Check to see when your location of choice opens and be at the door first thing like it's Black Friday. 🚗 Take the scenic route: Count on bigger crowds in Davidson County. If you can, travel into the suburbs for a shorter wait. Rebecca J. says the centers in Columbia and Dickson are "quick and easy peasy." Other recommendations included Gallatin, Hendersonville and Lebanon. Nate had a smooth experience in Ashland City. 🗓️ Make an appointment: It might be a while before you can schedule one in bigger cities, but it's worth it. Why? "You will not have to wait in a line then," Melanie D. says. Jen C. recommends avoiding Wednesdays, when service centers seem to be especially busy: "It's chaos!" 📑 Double-check your documents: Almost everyone who reached out recommended taking extra care to bring the right documentation: one that proves you're in the U.S. legally, another that confirms your Social Security number and two that establish your current address. You can get your documents pre-approved online, but that could take a while. 🏙️ Head downtown: Multiple readers said their favorite option was hiding in plain sight: The driver services center on the third floor of the William R. Snodgrass Tennessee Tower.

Country Music Hall of Fame to unveil 2025 inductees
The next group of Country Music Hall of Fame inductees will be unveiled Tuesday morning. You can watch the announcement live at 10am Central. What we're watching: There is a massive backlog of qualified artists waiting to join country's inner circle. Clint Black, Dwight Yoakam, Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw and Shania Twain are among the artists who could be honored this year in the modern artist category. The big picture: The Country Music Hall of Fame is exclusive, with just three inductees each year. The Modern Era Artist category goes to acts who are eligible for induction 20 years after they achieved national prominence. The Veterans Era Artist category goes to someone who reached fame 45 years ago or longer. The third inductee is pulled from one three rotating categories. This year's rotating category is for a non-performer, such as an executive, producer or personality. 💭 Nate's thought bubble: Shania is one of the most consequential and best-selling country artists of all time. With her unprecedented pop crossover success, she paved the way for artists like Taylor Swift. Every year that passes without her induction seems, frankly, bizarre. 💭 Adam's thought bubble: Dozens of people would make sense as a Modern Era selection. But I would point the anonymous cadre of voters to the country women on this week's Axios Nashville playlist for inspiration.
