Lower Broadway.
Several signs up noting bar closures. All buildings have mask requirement sign but it's not completely being enforced in some biz, including where they are offering free masks.
Peeking into places show social distancing, but none in lines waiting to get in. Some have markings on the ground but they're being ignored.
Crowd walking around has thinned out considerably 7pm vs 8pm.

A generous estimation would be 20% were wearing masks. Mostly appeared to be people walking down for the novelty of it or crowds on party buses or waiting to go inside restaurants. Health dir. has previously said it's harder to get compliance outside on the street than inside.
I personally didn't see any enforcement efforts. Saw some police (and a constable?) cruisers. One officer standing outside who put on his mask when spotted.
I am now home. Took off my mask and washed my hands for a while. Grabbed a beer from my fridge (no lines!) and am consoling my dog from the East Nashville firework shows.
