Photo Of The Day (Is Back): March 5, 2008
Back when we first started things up around here, we had a Photo of the Day feature where we would dig through our Nashvillest Flickr pool and pick out one reader-submitted shot to spotlight on the blog each day, ranging from breathtaking to just plain weird. We loved the way you guys were able to capture parts of the city we’d never seen before, and we loved showcasing the ridiculous amount of talent (like today’s pick–a beautiful skyline capture by edwin.donnelly) we have here in Music City. Submissions slowed down, though, and we put the feature on hiatus. But the good news is that we’re bringing it back!
Interested in submitting? Head over to the Flickr and start tossing your best photos into the pool. We’ve also been known to grab others and pair them along with ours posts, so if you’re interested in helping us out and want to see your work featured on the site, we’d love to have you!

Bright & Early: Outside Looking In Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The federal Government Accountability Office published a new report this week taking a good, hard look at the local immigration enforcement programs across the country including the one in Davidson County. Though Nashville’s 287(g) program resulted in the deportation of around 3,000 undocumented immigrants, the report questions whether it’s actually doing what it was intended to do–target and remove violent criminals. Of these folks, almost half were picked up on traffic stops and 81% were only charged with misdemeanors. Supporters of the program argue that if they’re illegal, then they should be shipped out. The report, however, maintains that this kind of practice “wastes valuable resources and clogs federal detention centers, limiting expensive bed space.”
- The folks at the Nashville Rescue Mission got a tasty surprise yesterday when Little Caesars’ “Love Kitchen” showed up with a few dozen pizzas in tow. The Love Kitchen (we admit it, the name makes us giggle) will be making the rounds to Knoxville today and Smyrna tomorrow.
- In the ongoing saga of Metro Schools, they announced that they’ll probably have to cut 209 positions during the next school year, ranging from teachers to custodians. There’s still some hope, though, that the federal stimulus money will salvage at least a few of these.
- Bits & pieces. Congrats to Vandy, who pulled off an unexpected win against LSU yesterday … Even pit bulls aren’t cool enough for Brentwood these days … Area man steals 200 pairs of underwear from Victoria’s Secret … Developers of Bible Park USA are trying to figure out their next move, which hopefully doesn’t involve Wilson or Rutherford counties, or really anywhere else in Tennessee.
