Happy Hour: We Forget Sometimes That We Have An Official State Rap
- Yes, it is true: We really are probably going to get an eighth official state song. If approved, Brenda Monroe-Moses’ “So I’ll Just Shine in Tennessee” will join “My Homeland, Tennessee,” “When It’s Iris Time In Tennessee,” “My Tennessee,” “Tennessee Waltz,” “Rocky Top,” “Tennessee,” and “The Pride of Tennessee” among the honored ranks. This does not even count THE TENNESSEE BICENTENNIAL RAP which is not an official state song, but is listed on the official state song webpage anyway, for obvious reasons. [WZTV]
- Then why, for the love of all things holy, can we not have two state beverages, at least one of which is not milk??
- Rocketown (which has not yet been torn down, mind you!) has officially purchased a new space on Lea Ave. between 4th and 5th. According to the Nashville Business Journal, they’ll be shuttering the current building on June 13th and emerging from their cocoon in July as a new and improved skateboardin’, coffee-drinkin’ butterfly. Or something. [ WSMV]
- It’s that time of year again–The time of year during which the United States Postal Service threatens to skip a particular mail delivery day each week because they are Sick And Tired of everyone speeding around them in their funny little trucks. Or maybe it’s for budgetary reasons, we can’t really remember. But this time, we think they’re for real. [Tennessean]
