The COVID-19 pandemic has altered virtually every aspect of life and created a new normal for Nashville residents.
To capture the ways life has changed, award-winning photographer John Partipilo spent several weeks in the community and the result is an eight-part series of photos.
Social distancing requirements have forced the Metro departments operating out of the Howard School complex to completely overhaul the way they service citizens.
Long lines form before the doors open in the morning as dozens of people wait to enter the building.
The city has set up tents for shade and citizens bring books to pass the time and even lawn chairs to sit in during the wait.
