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.

The [...]

Happy Hour: Rain, Snow, Sleet, Or Hail

Reviews of today’s winter storm include “puny” and “a bust.” Yep, that about sums it up! [WZTV]
In case you haven’t heard, Jack White is forming a new band called The Dead Weather and opening an office here in Nashville that’ll be home to his new record label, vinyl store, photo studio, dark room, and performance [...]

Happy Hour: In Which The Baptists Partner With Winos

The Tennessee Baptist Convention has thrown their collective weight behind the fight against wine in grocery stores, meaning that they’ve actually linked arms with the Tennessee Wine & Spirits Retailers Association. Hell might have just frozen over. [Tennessean]
“Nearly one in six Tennesseans has told a joke about Barack Obama’s race, and three-fourths say they’ve heard [...]

Bright & Early: Long Kiss Goodbye Edition

Good morning, Nashville. We have to admit we don’t know a whole lot about football (except that we’re supposed to bleed two-tone blue around here) but we hear it’s a big day for the NFL. Free agency is finally here, which means that changes are in store for the Titans beginning with one pretty big [...]

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 [...]
