  • Memphis’ famous House of Blues Studio D was shipped to Nashville in pieces yesterday. The studio has been struggling in recent years so they’re hoping that Nashville can breathe some new life into it. Along the side of the truck hung a banner that said “From Memphis With Love,” which is just about the saddest thing we’ve ever heard. [Tennessean]
  • US Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano hung out in Nashville today to address a variety of issues ranging from the flood recovery to a new ad campaign to encourage folks to report suspected terrorists. [WSMV]
  • Turns out that former President Bill Clinton’s appearance at the McWherter rally next week will actually be free. If you want to go, you can sign up for tickets here. [WTVF]
  • A Nashville fire captain was busted for pornographic webcam-chatting while on duty. How did he get caught? Well, he was wearing his uniform on camera and his chat buddy took a screen shot. [WSMV]
  • Belmont has taken to handing students some cold, hard cash to hopefully give away. “They will pray about that for a few days, about what to do with the money, and then they’ll just start, and who knows what they’ll do with the money,” author Don Miller told WKRN.  ”They’ll invest it somewhere so it has a return in the betterment of people’s lives.” [WKRN]
  • Traffic downtown is going to be mighty clogged–as in, with 125,000 extra people–so plan accordingly. [WSMV]
