Good morning, Nashville. It seems like it was quite the weekend for teenage prison breaks! Three 16-year olds being transported in a state van hopped in the driver’s seat and took off when the guard got out to inspect damage from an accident. One of the three turned himself in, but the other two are [...]

Metro Police are (hopefully) in the process of clearing a major accident that had all westbound lanes of Briley Parkway closed. A police officer and two TDOT employees were injured when a minivan rear-ended their vehicle while they [...]

Good morning, Nashville. When we hear about drive-by shootings, Walmart isn’t the first location that comes to mind. But late last night, one car opened fire on another in the Nolensville Walmart parking lot (you know, the one that just got valet parking) and landed one man in the hospital with a bullet to the [...]

Good morning, Nashville. Downtown seems to have recovered from yesterday’s power outage/gas leakage/CMA invasion. We’re getting conflicting stories as to what actually happened, but we’re going to go with the one that names copper theft as the main culprit. According to NES, the pilfered copper would have prevented the outage. A close runner up would [...]

We don’t really know what’s going on downtown… But we do know that it can be pretty accurately described as CMAPOCALYPSE! Our favorite endearing term for the CMA Awards rings a little true today as road closures, gas leaks, transformer explosions and massive power outages have plagued downtown Nashville since early this morning. A gas [...]

Good morning, Nashville. You know what day it is, right? It’s CMApocalypse 2008, round 2. We’re heartbroken that we had to miss Miley and Billy Ray downtown for Good Morning America this morning, but we take comfort in knowing that they’ll probably be performing that song somewhere in Nashville at least 4,851 more times before [...]
