Happy Hour: True Blood
The Nashville Red Cross estimates they’ve missed out on about 1,700 blood donations thanks to the winter weather that’s been battering us over the past few months. Get thee to a blood bank! [WTVF] Those pesky bedbugs are back! Or maybe they just never left? Either way, local inspectors have noticed a spike in bedbug [...]
Bright & Early: Need More Trees Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Remember that new law granting free downtown parking to hybrid owners who shell out a mere $10 for a parking sticker? Metro Councilman Charlie Tygard, who has criticized the program for being too elitist, is hoping to extend the opportunity to all Davidson County car owners–if we are willing to pay for [...]
Bright & Early: Stirring The Pot Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We would be remiss if we didn’t mention all the storms headed our way, though we suspect you’ve already looked out the window this morning and seen for yourselves. As of 9:30am, all of Middle Tennessee was placed under a tornado watch until 5pm for a particularly nasty line of storms that’s [...]
Bright & Early: BRBLOLOKTTYLKTHXBYE Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Local teachers are afraid that text lingo may be getting in the way of our kids learning the English language.

Bright & Early: Falling Slowly Edition

[City Paper] Fifty-five people applied for the election administrator position in Davidson County, which will be open at the end of the year when the current administrator steps down. [...]
Bright & Early: All Is Fair Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The Tennessee State Fair and Fairgrounds have been in constant limbo for the past year or so with Mayor Dean proposing to shut it down by the first of July, then extending the closing date to the end of the year with various groups fighting to keep it around as a 104-year [...]
Bright & Early: We Hear The Train A-Comin’ Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We all remember the Music City Star commuter train’s July 4th fiasco that left hundreds of passengers angry stranded at the stations. After doing what they could to smooth things over, they’re finally giving it another go and offering service to and from the Wilson County Fair. They say they’ve made enough [...]
Bright & Early: Drop It Like It’s Hot Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It looks like we’ll be suffering through one more day of the withering heat before some overnight rain hopefully cools things off a bit for the rest of the week. So far Vanderbilt has only reported one heat-related emergency. NES has been showing some much-needed mercy to folks who are behind on [...]
