Happy Hour: If The Shoe Fits…
- Today, Nashville welcomed 19 year old Dashiel Aslup, who traveled to town from Washington state… On foot. He’s raising money and awareness for local charity Soles4Souls by walking across the U.S.A. barefoot. [WKRN]
- The young men charged with plotting to kill President-elect Barack Obama pleaded “not guilty” during their federal hearing in Memphis today. No trial date has been set. [Tennessean]
- Metro police busted a Pennsylvania fugitive wanted for murder during a routine traffic stop last night. Lesson learned: If you’re carrying around a bag of Ecstasy and you’re wanted for murder, don’t run stop signs. [Tennessean]
- Don’t forget! Tennessee’s first Trader Joe’s opens tomorrow morning, right here in Nashville. [WKRN]

Photo Of The Day: November 6, 2008
This twisted tree looks like it’s seen better days–or maybe just weathered the four seasons we’ve experienced in the past month. Today will be reaching a balmy 79 degrees. Thanks to Liz Chenery for the submission!
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.

This Weekend: Free Frist Family Day (Again)
The next Frist Family Day is this Sunday, November 9. Family Day means that the Frist Center is absolutely FREE from 1pm-5:30pm to everyone (not just families with kids). We love to take advantage of these free days whenever they happen, since the main exhibitions are different every time. There are several remarkable photography exhibitions up right now in additional to the special Family Day events – Science experiments, story time, art projects, soap carving, live music and more. A full schedule of events can be viewed here.

Bright & Early: You Are What You Eat Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Bought any frozen chicken lately? A new study by the Food Safety Task Force just found out that on average, 10% of the chicken in Tennessee grocery stores carries salmonella. They’ve started buying 10 bags of chicken per week from various Middle Tennessee grocery stores, and “the results have shown that sometimes half the chicken is tainted and sometimes none of it.” That doesn’t really inspire much confidence if you know what we mean. For the record, you can avoid the problem by making sure you cook it well before you eat it.
- Three cheers. Let’s all take a moment this morning to remember our brothers and sisters in Nolensville who can finally have bars in town. Yesterday, the folks in Nolensville voted for the right to sell liquor by the drink, which was holding up progress for a number of businesses looking to relocate there.
- Three’s a crowd. Speaking of alcohol, liquor stores in town think that Green Hills is getting a little crowded, and are suing to prevent a third liquor store from opening in the area. We say the more the merrier, but Bud’s and the Green Hills Wine Shoppe think otherwise.
- Bits & pieces. Applications are available for Metro’s heating assistance program for those who need it … The public hearing to determine whether chain restaurants will have to disclose nutrition information on their menus is today … A road project in Williamson County has resulted in an astonishing four deaths in the past year, and has finally been suspended.
