Good morning, Nashville. While we’ve all been tightening our belts a bit over the past year or two, one thing is not suffering a bit in the face of this recession: The CMA Music Festival. Despite the steep-ish price tag and rising travel expenses, officials say that so far the numbers aren’t any lower this year than they’ve been before–or if they are, they say, then Bonnaroo’s overlapping schedule is to blame. Lucky for us, though, this means they’re all starting to pour in a day or two early.
- Mo’ money. In an effort to help improve our city’s current state of broke-ness, Metro is thinking about imposing a $2,500 tax on every hockey player who plays against the Preds, per game, up to $7, 500 per season. Ouch!
- Heh. An adult bookstore on Dickerson Road, The Pleasure Place, is complaining that Metro is being too harsh by suspending their license to operate for 31 days after some nasty things were observed.
- Bits & pieces. If you were in Miley’s fan club, you could be purchasing tickets to her Sommet Center concert right now! … The weirdo who dangled his kid over a bridge to avoid police capture finally turned himself in … Metro’s legal department has crushed our hopes of banning guns in restaurants in Nashville … There’s still hope for the Spring Hill GM plant which may reopen in 8 weeks.
A year ago on Nashvillest: We cried a little bit as gas finally reached $4 in our fair city and shared our gasoline sob stories with Lamar Alexander, started racking our brains for some clever You Are So Nashville If… submissions, and wondered what a military-grade rocket was doing on a golf course in Jackson.
