Bright & Early: Doing A Dance Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The ongoing quest to get to the bottom of the Army Corps of Engineers’ role in the flood gets more heated by the day. The Corps is being accused of playing the blame game with other agencies like the National Weather Service for their own mistakes. As it turns out, the Corps offices didn’t even have a backup plan when their power went out and took the internet down with it. Even before that happened, they received emails from other Corps divisions warning them about flood conditions, but no one ever read them. Other potentially preventative warnings about Gaylord’s leveee span back for several years. As communication records trickle out and more of the report is deciphered, US Rep. Jim Cooper and other members of Congress seem increasingly determined to find out what really happened.
- Homelessness in Metro Schools. A new report revealed that 1 in 5 Metro students say they’ve been homeless at some point in their lives. The Nashville’s Child and Youth Master Plan, compiled by a 52-member task force on behalf of the city, outlined problem of homeless youth and recommended developing some short- and long-term transitional programs in addition to current efforts.
- Adios, Sommet. The Bridgestone Arena has finally been thoroughly de-Sommet’d with the advertisement panels on the exterior of the building having been removed, finally. Though the Sommet Group lost their naming rights earlier this year, their advertising contract wasn’t up until June.
- Bits & pieces. Why yes, of course there are Basil Marceaux thongs for sale … More details are available about Centennial Park’s controversial makeover … Metro’s fancy new crime lab might not be moving next to Richland Creek after all … If you think it’s been hot this summer, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

“I Propped Your Hood Up With My Fake Leg” [Gems From The Nashville Craigslist]
While we can’t vouch for its authenticity, this Missed Connection is near the top of our list of favorite Gems From The Nashville Craigslist. How could it not be? It has all the elements of a brilliant Missed Connection – A prosthetic leg, Jolly Ranchers, the Hendersonville police, Redbox. Enjoy!
I propped your hood up with my fake leg and jumped your car. Need back – m4w – 36 (Hendersonville, TN)
I’m not sure you’d remember as I consider myself rather average looking and I know that you bein’ so beautiful n’ all have men approach you all day, but I was the young man who propped up your hood with my fake leg and jumped your car.
I was surprised how quickly you drove off after we managed to get it started, though. You seemed pretty excited and I reckon I would be too, but my leg was caught in the hood as you peeled out backwards out of the Dodge’s Store parkin lot. Coincidentally, 3 police cars sped into the parkin lot just after you turned the corner. I was blown away with how quickly Hendersonville police respond for people who need a jump. They asked me all about you and I told ‘em how pretty you were. Eyes like jolly ranchers, I told ‘em. They must be lonely people, those police officers, askin’ so many questions about some stranger. Though, you didn’ seem like no stranger to me. You seemed nice.
So, if you read this, maybe you could send me an E-mail or something and we could meet up at a Red Box or something and I could get my leg back.
