Happy Hour: Fight!
- We’ll be seeing another minor league pro basketball team in Nashville, come April. The Nashville Thunder will be playing home games out of TSU, and tryouts are the first three weekends in March. [Tennessean]
- Speaking of TSU, they’re about to drop one-fifth of their student body if they don’t pay up! That’s 1,900 students. The deadline to confirm registration and pay was at 4:30pm today. [WTVF]
- Today’s economic casualty is the Trane plant in Clarksville. Deja vu, anyone? They laid off 91 workers in November, and announced another 111 cuts today. [WSMV]
- The Titans have a new “fight song,” penned by three Nashville songwriters. The Tennessean has a clip, hot off the presses (seriously, they finished it at 4am today). [Tennessean]

Cheap Tourism At Home [Almost Freebies]
If you’re like us, you’ve probably never visited half of the local touristy spots that out of town visitors flock to. We finally went to the Country Music Hall of Fame last year on Museum Day, and it was pretty cool. There’s still a bunch of places that we haven’t hit up yet, but we’ll be crossing a couple more off the list in the very near future, thanks to these new-year specials.
Admission to Cheekwood Botanical Garden & Museum Of Art is only $1 per person for the entire month of January! Regular price is a whopping $10.
Admission to The Hermitage between now and the end of February is 50% off with a canned food donation to Second Harvest Food Bank (Tennessee residents only, via Webbspun Ideas). Regular admission price is $17, so we’re looking at $8.50 now (which, let’s face it, is still sort of pricey).

Comcast: FAIL
Yes Nashville, that was a city-wide Comcast outage last night, and it was not just you. You may now return to your regularly scheduled programming.

Bright & Early: A World Of Pain Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The TVA ash spill is set to be heard in the US Senate today, but since there aren’t any federal regulations that dictate how you’re supposed to dispose of coal ash, it’s doubtful that anything will happen. This, of course, means that we the customers will probably be footing the bill for the disaster including the cleanup, legal costs, and whatever steps need to be taken in order to make sure this doesn’t happen again. This doesn’t really bode well since Nashville residents were already reportedly “shocked” by their electric bills this month.
- Nevermore. We’re only two days out from the big playoff game and Baltimore fans are already busting into the city and talking some serious trash, according to the Scene. We just want to talk to them AFTER their devastating loss on Saturday.
- No hope. Well, the economy is finally tanking in Cool Springs too, which means that all those fancy new office buildings they’ve built out there can’t seem to find any tenants. Why are we not surprised?
- Bits & pieces. The Bellevue Macy’s is one of 11 Macy’s across the country that will be closing down after a sad sad holiday season … Watch out for that TVA ash pond, Gallatin. You might be next … Congratulations to attorney and anti-English Only activist Gregg Ramos for being named Nashvillian of the Year … Also congratulations to the Titans cheerleader who is actually a molecular neuroscience researcher at Vanderbilt for breaking the dumb blonde mold?
