Happy Hour: Sometimes We Celebrate The Wrong Holiday
- Maybe it’s the spring fever talking, but something about multiple Clarksville residents calling in to report a deer running around with a plastic pumpkin stuck on its head sends us into fits of giggles today (click-worthy for the picture.) [WSMV]
- Oh, and also, KATE FROM LOST has been in town for the past few days, rumored to be eating sushi in Cummins Station with Ben Folds and then lurking around Fido. Sometimes we hate that we have day jobs. [Twitter]
- To all the guys out there: If vasectomies are your thing, the State of Tennessee certainly isn’t going to stand in your way. [WTVF]
- We realize that this is too little too late, but if you’re even thinking of going near 2nd Ave. tonight for anything other than St. Patty’s Day festivities, for the love of all things holy, don’t! [WTVF]
- If you are engaging in one of those Illicit Office Pools during March Madness, Metro PD will find you out and destroy you. [WKRN]

Urban Outfitters Grand Opening March 26 (Finally)
Looks like we were right about Urban Outfitters’ grand opening on March 26 including a performance by Will Hoge. This official-ish looking graphic proves it! Anyway, doesn’t look like much else is happening that day, but we might drop by at 6:30pm to see Will Hoge play and point and laugh at all the hipsters. Just kidding, we <3 Urban Outfitters just as much as the next person! And we love that they’re collecting cans for Second Harvest Food Bank. via Post Business.

Bright & Early: Consider Our Minds Blown Edition
Good morning, Nashville, and happy St. Patty’s Day. During this time of Severe Economic Suck, Metro is trying to look for money anywhere it can find some. Last week, they revealed that we as a city have racked up over $2M in unpaid parking tickets including one dude who has $8,186 mostly from expired meters. When interviewed by WSMV, the chronic offender (who works at OSHI Flowers downtown) offered this reason: “I need a parking space… There’s no parking spaces.” Wait, what? We can think of a few dozen options that would cost less than $8,000! So his tickets go unpaid, our city remains broke, and life goes on.
- More bailouts. The Metro Council is trying to do its part to bail out the Community Education program by loaning it $165K to get back on its feet. You may recall the fiasco last month about someone’s decision to combine adult literacy with community swimming pools, which ended up putting the literacy program in a tough place financially.
- TVA prevention. A bill requiring safer handling of the state’s coal ash passed in the state Senate yesterday and is expected to pass in the House. Not that it really helps Kingston after the fact, but combined with new federal regulations, we can all hope that the TVA does’t spill that mess again.
- Bits & pieces. It’s sort of like Nashville Star week on American Idol, because we miss Nashville Star so much … Here’s a headline that made us want to claw our eyeballs out this morning … A Vandy professor might be onto something when it comes to curing Alzheimer’s disease … News flash: Vince Young showed up to work yesterday! … Michael G Tangredi is pretty much getting his butt handed to him in court.
