Happy Hour: At Least There Are Cute Baby Animals
- We might not be accomplishing much in this state this year, but we’ll at least have green vending machines. [WSMV]
- And Tennessee’s revenue shortfall for the month of April? $112 million. [WTVF]
- But enough about that! The Nashville Zoo welcomed some cute (and we mean REALLY cute) clouded leopard cubs which are apparently quite rare. Adorable picture at the source. [Tennessean]
- UT football coach Lane Kiffin is probably racking up yet another NCAA recruiting violation and we’re starting to lose count. [Tennessean]
- Titans coach Jeff Fisher is teaming up with some other former and current NFL coaches to pay a visit to the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. [City Paper]
- Folks in Lebanon are looking at a few hours of planned power outages tomorrow. [WSMV]

Photo Of The Day: June 8, 2009
You may recognize this blessed carrier of tacos from Five Points, but the infamous Twittering taco truck Mas Tacos Por Favor has been making the rounds quite a bit lately. Flickr contributor John Lamb snagged this shot in the parking lot of the Nashville Scene‘s office in the Gulch last Friday.
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: Dredging The Day Away Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It was a rough weekend for East Tennessee after some Department of Energy contractors accidentally poisoned 30,000 fish in Oak Ridge. On top of that, news surfaced of floodwaters causing some of the spilled Kingston coal ash to wash back into the Tennessee River and turn it a nasty shade of grey. Kingston residents may finally be getting some much-needed attention from Congress, though; US Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson paid the town a visit yesterday to hear from the folks whose lives have been drastically affected by last December’s disaster. Her thoughts? “This is a bit more serious than we anticipated … I feel like the reports we’ve gotten have been incomplete.” We can’t say we’re surprised.
- How badly do we need jobs? Morgan County commissioner Nick Bishop nixed his own proposal to bring the last of the Gitmo terrorism suspects to a state prison in Petro, Tennessee for the sake of creating jobs. In related news, after six people have escaped from Tennessee’s state prisons this year, officials are thinking that the old barbed wire fence idea might not be enough.
- Our state overfloweth. Apparently the 40,000-person estimate for CMApocalypse was low–We’re now hearing upwards of 52,000 per day, plus the 80,000 people trekking into Tennessee for Bonnaroo. That said, our state is going to be pretty full next weekend.
- Bits & pieces. “Warm, muggy Monday.” Not the words we wanted to hear! … The heirs to the Rocky Top fortune (yes, the song) are all upset because A&E used part of the anthem in a true-crime show … We’re trying not to think about how we’re the only people in Nashville who didn’t see Coldplay last night and this isn’t helping … A 7-year old kid is working around the clock to keep Nashville’s homeless cool this summer … UT football tickets go on sale today!
A year ago on Nashvillest: We learned all about the bell towers on the Bicentennial Mall (one of the coolest things in Nashville), got our first of many morning chuckles from our favorite weatherman Mr. Tim, and got all excited for another installment of the 48-hour Film Festival.
