Happy Hour: Bad Analogies Edition
- City Paper sounds off on Germantown: “No doubt, the profile of this historic North Nashville neighborhood has recently been elevated as dramatically as the John McCain presidency after his Sarah Palin pick.” [City Paper]
- TSU found that flash drive they lost! In… Memphis? But what can you do? Those things practically have legs. [Tennessean]
- The Williamson County GOP finally took down the offensive comment about the Nashville Kurdish community from their website. The chairman sort of apologized through WKRN, but the Kurds want an official statement. [WKRN]
- According to some test samples of the Tennessee River (which would be the one that the Georgians want), it contains an awful lot of things that shouldn’t be found in a river: caffeine, antibiotics, antidepressants, and cholesterol medication. [WSMV]
- We’re looking at a pretty depressing gas situation in Middle Tennessee for the next few weeks. Let the carpooling begin. [WKRN]

Nashville Universities In The News

It’s painfully obvious that school is back in session. Mafiaoza’s is impossible to enter on 2-for-1 Tuesdays and Belmont is ever flailing the “Debate ’08″ signage. We poke fun, but we really are proud of our local universities. We hear about Vandy all the time, but Belmont and Lipscomb have had some pretty significant accomplishments in recent weeks and we’d like to give them a pat on the back, too.
Belmont University set record enrollment at 5,000 students this year, a full two years ahead of schedule. It’s hard to imagine them all crammed on that campus, but they seem to be doing just fine (well, except for their parking woes). Lipscomb University also set record enrollment at 3,000 students this year. And aside from letting in massive amounts of freshmen, Belmont’s fairly new entrepreneurship program has been ranked one of the best in the nation by Entrepreneur Magazine and The Princeton Review. Not to be outdone, Lipscomb raced to have the first college of pharmacy in Middle Tennessee. Oh wait, then Belmont started one too, so no one really got to be first. And earlier this year, Belmont was paid a backhanded compliment by BusinessWeek, ranking as its 89th Best Undergrad B-School pick. B stands for Belmont, right?

Video Of The Day: September 15, 2008
Last Day of August from blatherskyte on Vimeo.
We decided to change things up a bit today and bring you the video of the day. Created and submitted by Twitterer @blatherskyte, “Last Day of August” takes a look at summer winding down to the backdrop of Radiohead.
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.
