The Weekendist: Sparkly Sparkly Edition
TGIF, Nashville. One of these days we will write The Weekendist before it’s actually the weekend. Sorry about your Friday night (it’s ok, we’re sitting at home watching Netflix too), but here are our picks for the rest of the weekend: CHOMP! Saturday, July 30 at the Adventure Science Center, 11am-4pm, regular admission price. Who [...]
The Weekendist: Look At The Stars Edition
So what if you didn’t get tickets to see Amos Lee at the Ryman or to the East Nashville Beer Festival? There’s plenty to do in Nashville this weekend, so stop moping around and take a trip to the Frist, the Adventure Science Center or check out a sports game. Here are our picks for [...]
Bright & Early: Look To The Sky Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Some Metro Schools officials aren’t feeling extremely hopeful about the No Child Left Behind results coming their way next month. Because the school system changed its standardized testing methods, resulting in lower scores, it could have a significant impact on their NCLB standings. Things have gotten dire enough in years past with NCLB [...]
The Weekendist: Running Like Chickens Edition
TGIF, Nashville. Your Nashvillest editors have big out of town plans tomorrow, so we hope you’ll forgive us for the abbreviated nature of today’s Weekendist. And though we may be going out of town tomorrow, we’ll be making up for it on Sunday by running around town in The Nashville Challenge: The Ultimate Urban Scavenger [...]
Regions Free Days At Adventure Science Center [Freebies]
After attending the last Way Late Play Date, we’re pretty much in love with the Adventure Science Center. What’s not to like about zapping germs with a laser gun, playing basketball in wheelchairs and climbing up a giant jungle gym? That’s why we’re (perhaps excessively) excited about September 12, when Regions Free Days returns with a little [...]
Best Idea Ever: Adults-Only Nights At The Adventure Science Center
No, no, not that kind of adults-only. But we kind of want to kiss whoever came up with the brilliant idea of a 21+ evening at the Adventure Science Center. No longer will we be the weird adults using the toys while the kiddos wait. No longer do we have to fear crushing a child [...]
Happy Hour: What’s The Opposite Of Feel Good Friday?
We were still trying to ignore swine flu headlines but it’s not working. So we have paired this post with a picture of some cute meerkats at the Nashville Zoo to cheer ourselves up.

It’s Time For Earth Hour, Nashville!
When we first heard that Nashville was one of this year’s Earth Hour flagship cities back in December, March 28 seemed pretty far away. Surprise surprise, it’s here, and Nashville will be putting on quite a show… or lack thereof. For one hour tomorrow night, lights will go out at more than 250 key buildings [...]
Sudekum Planetarium Grand Opening: Moon Walk, Anyone?
This weekend is the grand opening of the new Sudekum Planetarium at the Adventure Science Center, and it’s definitely something to brag about. The new Chiron star projector is the fourth of its kind, and the first outside of Japan. It projects 6.5 million stars (while the old planetarium’s projector could produce 2,500). We call [...]
