Bright & Early: Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The TVA is starting up a new program in April to sell electricity to distributors at rates that vary throughout the day, meaning that once NES adopts the system, we could pay higher rates around peak hours during the day and lower rates at night. This system is intended to encourage us [...]
Happy Hour: Speed Of Sound
Twitter has been all a-buzz (can we say that?) about the high-speed rail between Nashville and Atlanta that’s in the works. We’ve heard this story before, but it sounds like they’ve already secured $14 MILLION in federal funding for the project. The contractor is looking to grab another $34 million to get the job done [...]
Happy Hour: Waterlogged
We thought we had a lot to complain about here in Nashville with our eight inches of rain, but then we saw Atlanta. [TwitPic] Two Metro schools went on lockdown today after a boy’s mother called up school officials and told them she was afraid he was toting a gun. Thankfully, no weapons were found. [...]

Nashvillest Spotlight: ModerNash
Ever wished that IKEA was closer than Atlanta? We do, just about every day. Nashvillest HQ is decked out almost exclusively in IKEA, and there’s only so many trips to Atlanta with a borrowed pickup truck we can make before it starts to get annoying (and expensive). Luckily for us, it seems like that [...]
Happy Hour: Stepping It Up
A huge congratulations goes out to former Nashville mayor Bill Purcell who’s been appointed as the new director of Harvard University’s Institute of Politics. He’s set to start his new gig on September 1st. [WTVF] Metro is contracting an Atlanta-based firm to design and engineer our brand new 1.2 million square foot convention center to [...]
Signature Tower An Epic Fail: Maybe Next Year, Georgia
When we first heard about the Signature Tower a few years ago, we weren’t sure what to think. We knew it would drastically change the skyline that we’ve all come to know and love, and we didn’t think it looked great to begin with. Standing at 1,030 feet and 70 stories, it would be nearly [...]
