Laid-off employee Desi D'Amani discusses theme parks in California soon opening at a limited capacity. Roughly 28,000 workers have been furloughed at Disneyland due to a coronavirus shutdown.

This theme park comes straight out of a storybook.

"Middle Tennessee continues to experience an economic boom, and young families move here every day. However, Nashville and the surrounding counties are missing family-friendly entertainment options for our children,"  Storyville Gardens developer DeLisa Guerrier said in a statement as reported by FOX 17 Nashville. "Storyville Gardens will provide that option while also helping parents and caregivers instill a love of reading in their children," Guerrier said.

Storyville Gardens was designed to engage park-goers by motivating "the desire to read beyond what is required in a classroom from toddlers and adults alike," its website says.
