Happy Hour: MILK AND BREAD, MILK AND BREAD

The trusty fleet of TDOT salt trucks are already hitting the road to prepare for that Gigantic Winter Storm we’re supposed to get on Thursday. They’ll probably be slathering the pavement with some of that beet juice we heard about a few weeks ago, which lowers the freezing point of the salt mixture. [WKRN]
Governor Phil [...]

Bright & Early: When We Think Tim McGraw

Good morning, Nashville. We know winter in Nashville can get a little boring, so we’re glad that Tim McGraw and Gwenyth Paltrow have decided to spice it up a bit by filming a new movie here. We have no idea what this movie will be about and we can’t imagine what sort of convoluted plot [...]

Bright & Early: Can’t Get No Satisfaction Edition

Good morning, Nashville. By now, we’re all pretty familiar with the Guns in Bars bill saga, which was passed by the state legislature and vetoed by Governor Phil and then passed again over the course of the past two weeks. A similar bill that would allow guns in public parks is also well on its [...]

Bright & Early: Busted Edition

Good morning, Nashville. We’ll start off today with a burning question: Which of you folks are among the lucky 5,000 Nashvillians whose parking tickets were found stuffed in clerks’ desks at the Metro courthouse yesterday? Because your editors have collected a number of parking tickets around town over the years, and we’re pretty sure no [...]

Bright & Early: CMApocalypse Now Edition

Good morning, Nashville. CMApocalypse is really sneaking up on us this year, and we’d almost forgotten about it until we saw the news this morning that more than 40,000 rabid country music fans are expected to descend upon our fair city for the festival next weekend and 30,000 of them are expected to be filling [...]

Happy Hour: But Seriously, Why Not Wine?

We’re creeping closer and closer to being able to (legally) cart lots of wine across the Tennessee border from other cooler states that actually allow it in grocery stores. [WZTV]
Jack In The Box is shelling out $20,000 to a white former employee who claims that her black coworkers called her a bunch of offensive racist [...]

Bright & Early: Maybe We Can’t Sag If We Want To Edition

Good morning, Nashville. The Saggy Pants Bill may be off the table in the House if someone can’t figure out a way to make it cost less than $500,000 to enforce. Though we’re not entirely sure how it’s that expensive to tell folks to pull up their pants unless they’re creating a special new Pants [...]

Happy Hour: You’ve Got Until Midnight

Lots and lots of talk about today’s teabaggin’ at the Capitol. Estimates for the turnout ranged from 1,000 (haters’ guestimate) to 7,500 (according to the organizers). Metro PD puts the crowd at 2,800 – 3,000. This guy just wanted some pot. [Tennessean]
Well, y’all, it was nice while it lasted: The bill to bring wine to [...]
