Happy Hour: Spring Has Sprung
- Remember that University of Tennessee kid who hacked Sarah Palin’s email only to find a lot of totally boring things back during the election? They just brought him up on three more charges. [Tennessean]
- Something innovative is going on in Franklin which does not involve racist Obama waffles: If ever you’re running around out there and see some sort of subversive criminal activity, you can text your crime tips anonymously to TIP411. Apparently they’re the first in the country to try this out. [WTVF]
- The kids in Metro Schools might not be able to read or pass standardized testing, but dang it, they’ll be able to cut a good record. (In all seriousness, their new recording studio does look pretty fun.) [WKRN]
- West End Avenue will be getting some brand spankin’ new traffic lights over the next few weeks, but while they’re getting all prettified, you’ll probably want to find some alternate routes. [WKRN]
- As is customary, the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office will be out offering sober rides on St. Patrick’s Day next week, so don’t be the dummy who drives drunk. [Tennessean]

Photo Of The Day: March 9, 2008
Today’s photo comes to us from Malcolm MacGregor, taken on 21st Avenue near Vandy. Especially as the weather gets nicer, it definitely reminds us of some nighttime strolls in search of Ben & Jerry’s.
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.

Bright & Early: Hopelessly Optimistic Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Some folks in South Nashville were kind of grossed out when the creek behind their home turned bright green last night. Though the Nashville Fire Department seems to think the “unidentified substance” in the water is some sort of pond dye or food coloring, locals are still concerned that it looks a little too much like antifreeze. And judging by the photos, we can’t say we blame them! We’re guessing someone will be out to test the water this morning and hopefully it’s harmless. Or if it isn’t, we blame the TVA.
- Silver lining. The tanking economy might actually be good for something: Killing plans for Bible Park. After the latest proposal was rejected by the Lebanon City Council last week, developers have gone back to the drawing board. They’re still shopping around for more sites in Wilson County, but fear that they might have to abandon ship if the economy keeps declining.
- Jobs! If you’re still wandering around jobless in a few months (heaven forbid), you may be able to find a job with Metro’s water and sewer people. They’re probably going to raise our rates soon, but they’ll be using all the extra cash to hire more people to revamp our city’s decrepit water and sewage systems.
- Bits & pieces. Apparently cutting 44 majors and $19 million could shape MTSU’s future. Who knew? … While we were getting our CRS on, our ‘Noogan neighbors were out planting a bunch of trees … Okay, seriously. Can we stop with the Molotov cocktails already? … A big announcement from President Obama today about stem cell research has the folks at Vandy pretty excited.
