Good morning, Nashville. In the past we’ve often joked about the questionable state of the Cumberland River. Members of the Metro Council even swam across it once just to get us all to stop talking about how gross it is. Now residents of a neighborhood near Madison are complaining that some raw sewage from an unfinished property on Miami Avenue has been leaking into the river for months. They’ve been upset about this for quite some time and Metro Water is supposedly trying to look into fixing it, finally. Sounds like a nice day for another swim, huh?

- Bits & pieces. We hope you enjoyed the balmy 60-degree weather yesterday because we’ll be back down into the 30s by this afternoon … The Preds won and Sully racked up another hat trick … Hickory Hollow residents are none to pleased about the proposed WIC clinic that might go into Hickory Hollow Mall.
