Bright & Early: Get A Room Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’re running short on time this morning, so here’s your abbreviated Bright & Early: Metro Councilman Michael Craddock has withdrawn his bid in the mayoral election, leaving Mayor Dean pretty much on his own. Councilman Craddock has only been able to raise $14,000 compared to Dean’s $500,000. [WPLN] The fate of the [...]
Happy Hour: For Whom The Bell Tolls
It will snow! It won’t snow! We’re getting 1/2-inch! We’re getting threeinchesplus! We’re going to get a blizzard! It might actually just rain! Winter storm warning! Winter storm warning canceled!

Bright & Early: A Day Late And A Dollar Short Edition
Good morning, Nashville, and happy Friday. The flooded Tennessee Tower is causing some serious problems for thousands of folks waiting for unemployment checks.

Tennessee Department of Labor officials say that about 40,000 checks are [...]
Happy Hour: People Are Very Strange

Happy Hour: Twist And Shout
We’ve got a tornado watch until 11pm! [WKRN] The same guy who robbed the Wachovia on Fourth Ave. downtown a few weeks ago robbed the same Wachovia again this morning. Lesson learned: If you find a good thing, stick with it? [City Paper] The VA hospitals (including the one in Murfreesboro) may be off the [...]
Happy Hour: Run For The Hilllllls
Things that make us feel optimistic about life: “The director of the Metro Health Department said Monday the expectation is there will be cases of the swine flu in Nashville and he urged the public to take precautions to prevent contracting the virus.” (OMG, run for the hillz, save urself, etc.) [City Paper] Jerry Lee [...]
Happy Hour: No One’s Laughing
This just in from WSMV: Don’t tell bad jokes because people will hate you and you’ll have no friends. End of story. [WMSV] Cumberland County is going to give it another go tonight at the school board meeting where they’ll hopefully approve a budget so that kids can be in class by Monday. [WKRN] If [...]
