Good morning, Nashville. If you’re reading this, you must have survived the Great Wall Street Crash of Aught Eight yesterday. We heard a rumor that we were supposed to run out and stock up on gas! Okay, okay, we kid. Financial experts in Nashville are actually telling us NOT to panic. “You take the money out [of the bank] and keep it in cash then somebody might hit you in the head and take the money from you,” they say. Words to live by. Oh, and in case you’re keeping score, Rep. Marsha Blackburn voted against the bailout.
- Not bitter. Turns out that hosting a Presidential debate is hella expensive. The total cost is somewhere around $3.5M with $215K being devoted to Metro Police alone. And after all that, we don’t even get to go.
- ADA fail. The US Department of Justice is suing several Nashville apartment complexes for slacking off on ADA requirements and not providing facilities for the disabled.
- Bits & pieces. Nashville has its very own bridge–er, sidewalk–to nowhere … The DoJ reports that a former US attorney in Nashville may have been axed for political reasons … Purity Dairies is ending its ice cream factory tours for good … For the first time ever in the history of Tennessee, the state Supreme Court will have a female majority.
