Photo Of The Day: June 16, 2008
It’s not every day we see a shot like this one by midtennhills, who caught this parachuting duo midair last Saturday over the Nashville Superspeedway.
Photo Of The Day will be a recurring feature for Nashvillest as long you keep giving us stuff to post. Don’t worry- We’ll give you props. Just add them to the pool or tag them with “Nashvillest†if you’re feeling lazy.

Gems From The Nashville Craiglist: BUSTED
Best use of Craigslist we’ve ever seen: Taunting criminals. Because the other gem we found was a bit too, uh, colorful for Nashvillest (you’ve been warned), we kept digging. And boy, we’re glad we did.
Mall Shoplifters at Green Hills – 99 (Green Hills Mall)
I was testing my new camera lens. You and your friends decided to walk into the mall, grab a load of clothes from Abercrombie and Fitch and run. As you all came running out laughing…….
I wonder if you had ANY clue someone across the street would get photos of you?
kinda funny right?
You are a******* for doing it and I am turning you in to the police

Mo’ Freebies: A&W Root Beer Floats
We’re counting this as one of the best freebies of the summer, because we love us some root beer floats. From 2pm-8pm today, participating A&W Restaurants are giving away free root beer floats, so you can take that $4 and drop it into your gas tank instead. There’s no catch, no medium drink or fries to purchase, just free root beer floaty goodness. We called the A&W in Cool Springs and they are indeed participating (other locations include Madison, Smyrna, White House, and Murfreesboro – you’ll have to call those on your own).

Bright & Early: Hug A Sound Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We hate to start off the week with such a downer, but we want to give our Sounds some love after the Tennessean had a ball coming up with pitiful headlines about them this weekend (See Sounds lose to Iowa in empty stadium, Only Sounds of silence play at empty park). The guys lost the 5-4 heartbreaker in Iowa in front of a crowd of mostly baseball scouts and media because the rest of the state is underwater and everyone’s been evacuated. So no, the stadium wasn’t empty, and Nashvillest is giving the Sounds the benefit of the doubt by saying that they only let the Cubs win because Iowans need something to smile about these days. Our hearts really do go out to the state of Iowa (you can donate here), and also to the Sounds who can’t seem to catch a break this season.
- Cooling off. It’s been a hot couple of days, but once we weather the storms this afternoon, we’re looking at some blessed relief in the way of a cold front that should cool things off by about 10-15 degrees. We don’t know about you, but we can’t wait.
- Wave of the future. Metro’s tossing around the idea of adding a light rail or high-speed buses to combat our problem with gas prices, though they make the observation that “funding is key,” which we read as, “don’t hold your breath.” Speaking of! Buyout offers hit the mail today for the 2,000 state employees whose positions were cut in the new budget.
- Bits & pieces. Airplane makes an emergency landing in the middle of I-840 in Dickson … 150 corporate volunteers help build a new Habitat … Titans receiver Brandon Jones is now saying he picked up the wrong bag after he was arrested with a gun at BNA … As usual, Manchester cops found a ton of drugs at Bonnaroo.

Nashvillest Spotlight: Zingo Nashville
When we first heard about Zingo Nashville, we were floored. A driver service that picks you up on a collapsible scooter so you and your car make it home safely? Brilliant. We just can’t understand why someone hadn’t thought of this sooner. Better still, Zingo seems to have a sense of humor. Straight from their FAQs:
Can you drive my car home without me in it?
Yes. In fact, we provide this service to our regulars quite often. Our drivers can perform special tasks for you as well, such as feeding your pets if you are not going to make it home. Really.
We love it. So the next time you find yourself in a situation where you can’t exactly get behind the wheel, give Nashville newcomers Zingo a call and wait for your personal scooter to arrive.
