Bright & Early: Festivus For The Rest Of Us Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Spring Hill rejected the zoning request for Festival Tennessee, a proposed theme park that started arousing suspicion from the moment it was announced last month. Though developers promised roller coasters, a water park, the largest hotel complex in the world, a sportsplex, an NBA team and 15,000-20,000 jobs, digging into their past [...]
Bright & Early: Wait-Listed Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Tennessee’s drug assistance program for people with HIV/AIDS now has a waiting list thanks to folks losing jobs and insurance, along with an increase in the number of people living with the disease. Those overseeing the program hope that their own services can be supplemented with federal programs and pharmaceutical companies. Pregnant women [...]
Happy Hour: Getting To The Bottom Of It
Several veterans have stepped forward and said that they’re afraid they might’ve been the source of the accidental Hepatitis infections that resulted from some botched colonoscopy equipment at the VA hospital in Murfreesboro. If the genetic link is established, it could confirm that the hospital is responsible for the infections. [WPLN] Don’t say we didn’t [...]
Bright & Early: An Apple A Day Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Several members of Congress are a little less than pleased with VA officials after yesterday’s testimony in which officials admitted that their hospitals still aren’t following proper procedures for cleaning medical equipment. You may remember that the problems were first uncovered Alvin C. York Medical Center in Murfreesboro in December 2008 and [...]
Happy Hour: Life’s Not Fair
Well, the days of texting and driving (legally) are over. Or will be over on July 1 when the new law that Governor Phil signed today officially goes into effect. Funny thing is, the law will apply to everyone except for state/local AND CAMPUS law enforcement officers. What? [Tennessean] July 1 might be a bad [...]
Happy Hour: Keep The Painted Side Up
Hair World Beauty Supply in East Nashville took a tumble today (yes, we mean the whole store) after an SUV’s gas pedal got stuck and the driver backed into the corner of the building from the Suntrust lot next door. Fortunately no one was hurt including the driver, whose car was pretty much crushed by [...]
Bright & Early: Two By Two Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We trust that none of you guys floated away this weekend, seeing as our rainfall totals for Middle Tennessee were somewhere in the ballpark of 3-7 inches by Saturday and we’re guessing we racked up at least few more from a very soggy Sunday. And also, there was a tornado. Things should [...]
Bright & Early: We’ve Got A Case Of The Mondays Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Do you see this? The beautiful redbud trees, clear and brilliant blue skies, and the sunshine? This was the scene on Saturday, but it will not be the scene today. Nay, today it will probably snow. And if we seem upset about this, it’s because we are. We’ve gone from 76 and [...]
Happy Hour: Up, Up & Away
Despite the city’s best efforts to thwart it, the global warming hot air balloon did end up lifting off today and floating directly over Al Gore’s house. The balloon was intended to communicate that Gore was a “global warming alarmist” and doesn’t really know what he’s talking about. [Tennessean] If you participated in the Dining [...]
