Good morning, Nashville. We hope everyone had a safe and uneventful commute this morning which may have included navigating around the overturned chicken nugget truck on I-65 in Madison. It seems that when semis are not getting wedged beneath overpasses, they’re spilling weird things all over the interstate. The accident happened early this morning and [...]

We wish we were kidding right now, but you know that house stuck under the overpass on I-40? It’s still there. Due to some complications with removing it, the estimated clearing time has been bumped up for the umpteenth time to 3am. The right lane of westbound I-40 is currently blocked, and the rest of [...]

The guns-in-bars bill is headed to Governor Phil to be signed or maybe not signed if he decides to veto it like lots of folks seem to want him to, though we can’t imagine why! [WSMV] Franklin Police are reporting that someone may have stumbled upon some super-old Civil War-era human remains near the place [...]

Good morning, Nashville. Three Nashville-area schools that closed down last week for swine flu were given the green light to reopen today. The kiddos are understandably a little disappointed to be robbed of their impromptu vacation, but we’re happy to hear that things are getting back to normal. Due to some standardized testing, a few [...]

[Tennessean] And also, don’t say we didn’t warn you about all the road closures. [Your Nashvillest] That pyro in training charming kid [...]

Remember the second TVA ash spill that happened a few weeks ago? No, not Kingston or Alabama–the Ocoee River one that happened between those two but never quite made the news. Well, the TVA has finally drafted a plan for getting that cleaned up. [WZTV] Just as we thought, the guy who donated the $8000 [...]
