Bright & Early: Yep, It’s Still Snowing Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It’s still snowing outside, somehow! Schools are out again today, the kiddos have nearly forgotten what the inside of a classroom looks like, and we feel quite sure they’ll be cursing these snow days well into June when they’re still not out for the summer. The good news is, these snow showers [...]
Happy Hour: The Climb
To commemorate the anniversary of 9/11, several hundred firefighters from at least nine states will be gathering in Nashville to climb the Pinnacle stairs four times in remembrance of what firefighters had to do on September 11, 2001. The climb totals 110 flights of stairs, which is the equivalent of the stairs inside the World [...]
Bright & Early: Peep Peep Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Several Metro Schools staff members made a colorful appearance at last night’s School Board meeting to let everyone know just how excited they are about their hours, jobs, and incomes being cut. Last week, the board proposed a new budget for next year that would cut 665 jobs and shave one hour [...]
Bright & Early: He Sees You When You’re Sleeping Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Yesterday brought us an entertaining-but-sort-of-scary tale of Santa robbing a local bank at gunpoint (and the pictures… oh, the pictures!) We’re happy to be able to balance it out this morning with another Christmas-y story, only this one involves a mysterious woman handing out Christmas cards containing $100 to random strangers in [...]
Happy Hour: Turning Up The Heat
As we have harped on and will continue to harp on until it gets some more coverage, the contaminated medical equipment at the VA hospitals in Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida that have resulted in (so far) 33 Hepatitis cases and 5 HIV cases may have ruined a bunch of donated organ tissue as well.

Bright & Early: What Is Your Emergency Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Hopefully none of you had any life-threatening emergencies yesterday morning because the city’s 911 call center accidentally went offline. Supposedly, AT&T was simply following their work order when they cut every single phone line to the 911 center, but the result rendered emergency services unreachable for about 30 minutes. Though the dispatchers [...]
Happy Hour: E Is For Emergency
Nashvillians are brilliant–our 911 dispatchers have so far gotten calls from people who are locked in their cars because they forgot to unlock the doors, people who can’t sleep, people whose cats won’t let them out of the bedroom, people who have lost their keys… if it isn’t an emergency, then don’t call! [WKRN] Who [...]
Bright & Early: Tut Tut, Looks Like… Snow?
Good morning, Nashville. Last night we heard reports of the very first blizzard of the season complete with howling winds and zillions and zillions of snow… flurries. Okay, so maybe it wasn’t exactly a blizzard, but snow is snow right? We doubt we’ll be seeing any more of the white stuff today, but it’ll definitely [...]
Bright & Early: 4-0, Titans, 4-0 Edition
Good morning, Nashville. When the Titans ran off with their fourth win of the season yesterday against the Vikings, we witnessed a sweet, sweet moment in history. So far, our boys are 4-0 which has never happened in the entire 49-year history of the Titans franchise. They’re set to square off against Baltimore next Sunday, [...]
