To kick-off the anniversary celebration and in commemoration of National Cheesecake Day on July [...]

The word from Belmont on the presidential debate hasn’t changed much–there’s still no room for us and we’re not getting in, but they have unveiled an invite-only viewing party at the Ryman for which we also probably probably won’t be able to get tickets. [WTVF]

The English-only drama continues, this time with whisperings about the Metro Council formally asking voters to ignore Councilman Eric Crafton’s petition post cards and vote against the amendment when it inevitably shows up on the November ballot. [Tennessean]

Predictably, Nashvillians are a bit defensive of their favorite places to eat. When we posted AOL’s City’s Best list last week, the feedback suggested two things; First, that we should all try to convince the tourists that the “local slang” for the Pancake Pantry is “PanPan,” and second, that no list of bests will ever [...]
