Bright & Early: What Is Your Emergency Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Hopefully none of you had any life-threatening emergencies yesterday morning because the city’s 911 call center accidentally went offline. Supposedly, AT&T was simply following their work order when they cut every single phone line to the 911 center, but the result rendered emergency services unreachable for about 30 minutes. Though the dispatchers [...]
Bright & Early: Freezing Our Bums Off Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Our fingers are a little too frozen to type this morning.

Bright & Early: Are We There Yet? Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’re down to our last day before the vacation and we’re ready to join the masses of Nashvillians flooding out of the city for the holiday.

Bright & Early: One More Day Edition
Good morning, Nashville. After months and months of nonstop campaigning, I think we can all agree that we’re suffering from election fatigue.

Bright & (Not So) Early: Leave The Charter Alone Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Metro Council seems to be turning into a three-ring circus these days with all the arguing and petitioning and lawsuiting and charter-changing and special-electioning surrounding the English Only initiative. This morning the Tennessean warns us that the “Metro Charter is under siege“ thanks to English Only supporters who want to make it [...]
Bright & Early: Sign Of The Times Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Like the rest of the country, we’ve been hit hard by home foreclosures in the past few months as a result of the tanking economy. With over 3,000 foreclosed houses in the Metro Nashville area, we’ve started to notice that some of them are rotting, overgrown, and downright nasty. But the good [...]
Happy Hour: Have A Comcastic Weekend
Following suit with the TVA and NES, Comcast is getting ready to jack up their rates by 3.5%. AT&T says they’re coming to the rescue, though. [WKRN]
Speaking of bills and such, if you’re not registered to vote, you may be totally excited to hear that you can register to vote while you pay your astronomically [...]
Bright & Early: Huddled Masses Edition
Good morning, Nashville. If you’ve been keeping score in Councilman Eric Crafton’s English First debate, he’s now saying that he has half of the 10,000 signatures he needs to get the ordinance on the ballot this November. If it passes, it’ll require that all city business, communications and publications have to take place in English. [...]
