It turns out that legendary Nashville restaurant Jimmy Kelly’s was the place to be late on election night last week–no matter which mayoral candidate you supported in the runoff. Major players for the Dean campaign gathered on the Louise Avenue establishment’s second floor for a private celebration around midnight, but they weren’t expecting to see some of their counterparts from Team Clement upon walking in the front door. Reportedly the brief exchanges between camps were civil and respectful, but there’s no word on whether longtime proprietor Mike Kelly knew in advance that he would welcome both sides of the mayoral race that evening. Maybe it wasn’t coincidence, or maybe Kelly really does know just about every single Nashvillian out there. We’ll have to keep wondering. [Photo: wcities.com]
