Bright & Early: They’re Baaack Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Remember that whole Bible Park USA debacle in Rutherford County a long time ago? Developers of the Bible theme park were eventually defeated when the city voted against the rezoning that would’ve allowed them to build. Last week, the Tennessee Court of Appeals overturned the decision because of some shady clauses in [...]
Happy Hour: Fighting The Good Fight
Rutherford County has decided to refuse a settlement offer in the Bible Park USA lawsuit. Basically, they’re saying they’ve done nothing wrong by saving Murfreesboro from the Bible-themed amusement park and don’t feel like shelling out a few million bucks to admit defeat. [WTVF]
The legislature might have declared milk to be our official state beverage, [...]
Happy Hour: Who Would Jesus Sue?
The family whose land almost became home to Bible Park USA in Rutherford County are now suing the pants off the county and county attorney for not approving the park and thus ruining the land deal. Team Rutherford County FTW! [Tennessean]
This is seriously the creepiest picture of a probable sex offender we’ve ever seen, and [...]
Bright & Early: Outside Looking In Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The federal Government Accountability Office published a new report this week taking a good, hard look at the local immigration enforcement programs across the country including the one in Davidson County. Though Nashville’s 287(g) program resulted in the deportation of around 3,000 undocumented immigrants, the report questions whether it’s actually doing what [...]
Happy Hour: This Is Not A Dog-Toilet
A Tennessee House subcommittee shot down a bill banning car passengers from boozin’ it up in the back seat. Somehow, we weren’t even aware that this was still legal. [WSMV]
Though it’s probably safe to say that driving around with 53 lbs. of pot in your trunk is still not okay. [WKRN]
Schools in Wilson County, the [...]
Bright & Early: Fat Camp Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Putting nutritional info on the menus may not just be a city-wide issue anymore. Governor Phil is making a case for a bill that would spread the love all across the state of Tennessee. As we’ve previously pointed out, we are a bunch of fatties here in ye olde Volunteer state. Actually, [...]
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 [...]
Happy Hour: Final Four Invasion
Mark your calendars: Nashville is hosting the NCAA women’s basketball Final Four tournament! In uh, 2014! [Nashville Post]
Metro Police are (hopefully) in the process of clearing a major accident that had all westbound lanes of Briley Parkway closed. A police officer and two TDOT employees were injured when a minivan rear-ended their vehicle while they [...]
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. We’re trying not to be too bitter about our state not being “battleground” enough for the campaign trail, but at least John McCain is showing us a litte last-minute love. Sen. McCain will [...]
Happy Hour: Hug A Hilltopper
Big news this afternoon as the Western Kentucky campus and several local schools were put on lockdown after some gunmen dressed in black were reportedly running around Pierce-Ford Tower (that giant dorm on Main Campus). The lockdown was lifted a little while ago and five students were taken into custody. We’re happy to report that [...]
