Happy Hour: Decade Winds Down
The Tennessean has compiled a gallery of over 100 photos from throughout 2009 and there are some pretty stunning ones in the bunch. Not only are they stunning in that “What wonderful composition” kind of way, but also in that “We must’ve missed when Murfreesboro tried to break the world skinny dipping record” kind of [...]
Bright & Early: All Is Fair Edition
Good morning, Nashville. There may be hope yet for the Tennessee State Fair thanks to some new proposals by everyone’s favorite Metro Councilman Eric Crafton. Councilman Crafton has drafted a resolution that would extend the life of the fair through 2010, giving advocates more time to come up with a way to save it. The [...]
Happy Hour: A Little Bit Of Sunshine
For all the information junkies out there (and really, anyone who cares where their tax dollars are going) the State of Tennessee just launched Tennessee Open Government, which looks like a pretty great way to find out all sorts of fun stuff like salaries, travel expenses and public meeting schedules for government employees.

Bright & Early: Fierce Competition Edition
Good morning, Nashville. As much as we might try to forget about how football season ended for our Titans, we’re already hearing murmurings of what next season might look like for us… quarterback-wise, at least. Last week, Coach Fisher answered a few questions about whether country crooner Kerry Collins will be given the starting job [...]
Bright & Early: Getting Creative Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Yesterday the city rolled out the plans for the Music City Center, which is that new convention center we’re getting that everyone has been fighting about for a few years. It’ll be going in on 5th and Demonbreun right behind the Sommet Center and is somehow going to incorporate “the rolling hills [...]
Happy Hour: Lead Toys No More
You may have forgotten about the Chinese Poison Train of Long Long Ago (okay, so it was only 2007) when the Chinese were found to be exporting lead-tainted toys through Mattel. Tennessee was one of 36 states to investigate Mattel and today we got $239K out of a settlement agreement. Gotta make our money [...]
Bright & Early: Slip ‘N’ Slide Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We hope you made it out of the driveway without slipping and sliding this morning, though we have to say we didn’t see much of anything that would have warranted emergency management at the Nashvillest HQ. But judging by the looks of the school closings scrolling across the screen, we’re guessing that [...]
