Tom Morales Sells Gulch Seafood Spot and Historic Downtown Restaurant | Eater Nashville

"Opened in February 2018 in the former F. W. Woolworth department store at 221 5th Ave. N., this historic restaurant and live music venue has been described as the most historically significant restaurant in Nashville and occupies the site of seminal 1960s lunch counter sit‑ins led by civil rights leader John Lewis. Morales and his partners set out to honor the space's history while giving it a new story as a welcome table for all, and he told NBJ that they succeeded in saving the building and preserving the history but that it was time to pass the torch; NBJ reports control has been left in the hands of some of the restaurant’s original investors." - Delia Jo Ramsey
