Bravo is making a 2nd season of Make Me A Supermodel (we know, shocker). Naturally, they’re casting in Nashville. We had a couple Nashvillians on the show last season, which is really the only reason we knew it existed. Gather your portfolios and get ready, because they’re coming here on the 6th (just one week [...]

One of our favorite places in Nashville has always been Dragon Park (actually called Fannie May Dees Park), since we discovered it hidden in the shadows of the neighboring Parthenon. Beautiful mosaics aside, Dragon Park sure isn’t short on hiding places like this one–a PVC tunnel beneath a rocky pyramid of sorts, captured by nashgirl.

Happy over-the-hump-day. Tennessee’s unemployment rate has bumped up to 6.5% in the past month, landing us the title of the state with the 7th highest unemployment rate. If you’ll remember, we’re also 9th worst for unemployment benefits, so things aren’t looking so hot on the employment front. We also have the 13th highest foreclosure rate [...]

Also excessive was this afternoon’s big ribbon cutting ceremony for the new security check-point at the Nashville International Airport, attended by Mayor Dean. [WKRN]

We just confirmed with Outback Concerts that there are 900 FREE tickets left for the Larry The Cable Guy Christmas special taping tonight at TPAC. We’d make some witty joke about Christmas in July, but we don’t have time. You only have an hour to get there, and tickets are on a first-come-first-serve basis. The [...]

They don’t call it “Music City” for nothing. This macro shot by ryan2013 shows off a beautiful Fender Strat, which makes us just a little bit jealous.
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 [...]

What? No Noshville this month? It’s true… Noshville will be closed for kitchen renovations, so the monthly Nashville Geek Breakfast is relocating. Join them tomorrow at Fido instead, around 7:30am. Who’s in?

Good morning, Nashville. If you were hoping to take a cab this morning, you’re probably out of luck. After the 100-person taxi strike yesterday, the other 400+ Nashville cab drivers are planning to follow suit this morning. Instead, you’ll find them rallying outside Mayor Dean’s office downtown at the courthouse in hopes of meeting with [...]
