Bright & Early: Going For The Gold Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The Environmental Protection Agency released a list of the 44 most hazardous coal ash storage sites in the country, and guess which state isn’t on it? Tennessee! Despite the fact that the list itself was inspired by the disaster at Tennessee’s Kingston plant in December, Kingston no longer poses a threat because it can’t spill twice, right? North Carolina tops the list with 12 hazardous facilities, followed closely by Arizona and Kentucky. Sounds like the TVA has its work cut out.
- Poor choices. A woman in Hendersonville was arrested for joy-riding around her apartment complex’s parking lot with two kids, ages 8 and 9, hanging out on the hood of her car. She says she was only driving from the apartment pool back to her apartment, but you know… no “Mother of the Year” awards being handed out for this one.
- Numbers game. News Channel 5 is reporting that a shocking four thousand people showed up to yesterday’s tea party when everyone else seems to be maintaining that it was only a “several hundred.” Help us understand, for we are confused!
- Bits & pieces. The Harpeth Hills Church of Christ in Brentwood welcomed home their Honduras missions team this week after they were caught up in all that military coup mess during their trip … You can still buy fireworks in Murfreesboro, but only the kind that can’t be used as weapons against police officers … Steve McNair is an all-around nice guy and if he wants to open some more restaurants, that’s fine by us … You will find Jeff Fisher vacationing in the Persian Gulf this week.
A year ago on Nashvillest: We satisfied our smoothie craving with newcomer Fresh Blends, waited for the new toilet law to take effect, and were relieved to hear that Bobby Brown survived his car wreck.
