Happy Hour: Four Score and Seven Years Ago…
- If you see a bunch of guys running around in Hillsboro Village dressed up like Abraham Lincoln, this is probably why. [Pith In The Wind]
- Ten students were arrested at Hunters Lane High School due to a series of fights that were most likely gang-related (though not a riot like some other networks initially reported). In a separate incident, police arrested a 17 and 20-year old who had a gun and some marijuana in the car on school property this afternoon. [WKRN]
- Police in Murfreesboro spent the afternoon chasing a 600-pound hog around town and ended up having to shoot it. [Tennessean]
- TSU finally put a foot down on campus gossip by becoming the first public university to block Juicy Campus. MTSU is still holding its own as the #2 search term right now, though, and Belmont’s page is trying to start rumors about Taylor Swift enrolling there next year. Juicy! [Tennessean]
- Metro Council’s attempt to ban stores from selling things outdoors were thwarted at last night’s meeting. [Tennessean]

Blake Shelton Is Almost The Sexiest Man Alive [Nashvillians In The News]
Congrats to Miranda Lambert’s boyfriend for making PEOPLE’s Sexiest Men Alive! We’re pretty sure that Blake doesn’t live in Nashville, but he spends an awful lot of time here making us look good and we figure that’s close enough. Why do women love him? He says it’s the beat-up truck, but we’d probably beg to differ. We’re also taking the occasion to remember when Blake had bad hair, which we’re thankful that he finally chopped off. Congratulations, Blake!

Photo Of The Day: November 19, 2008
This great riverfront shot of the Batman building comes to us from the vault of our favorite Nashville-photographer-who-moved-somewhere-else crashmattb. Though Matt is happily snapping pictures in the ATL, we’re enjoying the occasional Nashville shots that find their way into our pool.
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.

Tomorrow: Nashville Geek Breakfast (Yes, Again)
The Nashville Geek Breakfast happens the fourth Thursday of every month… Usually. Thanksgiving threw a (small, but easily overcome) wrench in the plans this month, and Geek Breakfast has been moved up to this week. So don’t forget to go to bed early and set your alarms to be at the midtown Noshville at 7:30am tomorrow!

Bright & Early: OMG WTF MTSU Edition
Good morning, Nashville. When it rains for MTSU students, it really pours. First a stabbing, then some fires, then a terrorist scare, then some more fires, then a shooting, then another shooting, and now a dorm fire that forced many students to evacuate overnight. Though this one was genuinely an accident, we’re wondering when things are ever going to let up in the ‘boro. We’re pretty glad our college experience wasn’t that exciting.
- Turn it down! The battle continues over Metro Council’s proposed music ordinance. Some folks like it, some folks hate it, and some folks think it’s completely unconstitutional.
- Buckle up. The discussion surrounding seat belts on school buses is coming back to the forefront in Tennessee schools. Oldest debate in the book, but not really getting anywhere.
- Bits & pieces. Tennessee is trying to figure out how to come up with the money for all of the bridges that need repair … Governor Phil has been deep in budget talks this week and it looks like no one’s going to come out on top … HCA, like everyone else, is slicing jobs this week and will lay off around 100 people … Eric Volz hopefully won’t have to go back to Nicaragua for his trial, but he might.
