Happy Hour: We Saw The Sign
Steer clear of the airport area this afternoon and evening. Vice President Joe Biden will be jetting into town to speak at TNDP’s Jackson Day event and his security detail might back things up. [Tennessean] Also avoid I-40 in West Nashville this weekend in that one spot near White Bridge with the eternal construction. It’s [...]
Happy Hour: Revenge Of The Tennessee State Fair
The Tennessee State Fair is back! We thought it was dead ‘n’ gone with the passing of the State Fairgrounds, but since the Fairgrounds have an extension, so does the Fair. More good news is that a private company will be running it so hopefully it won’t suck as much. [Tennessean] Nashville is safe. Nashville [...]
Happy Hour: Keeping The Peace
University of Tennessee will be doling out an “honorary doctor of laws and humane letters in ecology and evolutionary biology” to ol’ Al Gore in the spring. We don’t know what that even means. [WTVF] UT also approved some tuition hikes today for UT-Knoxville students in the colleges of Business, Engineering, and Nursing. [WTVF] And [...]
Happy Hour: We Can’t Find Any News That Isn’t About Snow
We’ve made plenty of jokes about it already, but by the looks of this photo of the bread shelves this afternoon, y’all really did clean Kroger out of bread.

Happy Hour: Keep On Truckin’
We got our state report card today and there is some good news: Our high school graduation rate has gone up! The bad news is that our kids still can’t read good. [Tennessean] Some former Six Flags execs have purchased Nashville Shores, but don’t get your hopes up because they already said they’re not building [...]
Happy Hour: Swim Trunks & Flippy Floppies
If you like what you see in the above photograph, don’t forget that the CMT awards come on at 7pm and Taylor Swift is probably performing with T-Pain within the first 5-10 minutes. Someone send us the Youtube later please? [Tennessean] The Tennessee Senate nixed the Al Gore statue idea and we can’t say we’re [...]
Bright & Early: Painting The Town Green Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Today is a big green day for our city. In fact, we’re not even sure if we can handle this much green. Today is the day that the Great American Cleanup comes right to our doorstep, bringing its green exhibits and green murals and green environmental cleanup with it. Throughout the day, [...]
Happy Hour: For The Love
Hope everyone loves Al Gore because we’ll soon have a Giant Al Gore Statue outside of the state capitol building. Good news is, at least it’s not Elvis and we’re not paying for it. [Post Politics] Lipscomb University just opened a center for alumni and unemployed professionals to help them navigate the job market, network, [...]
