Bright & Early: Remember This One Thing Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The city is getting ready to take on a big improvement project in the “North Gulch” which, as you might guess, is the area just north of the Gulch proper. The area they’re hoping to improve includes 12th Avenue South between Broadway and Demonbreun as well as McGavock Street between 11th and [...]
Bright & Early: Out Of Our Shell Edition
Good morning, Nashville. While we’re busy wading knee-deep through cicada skeletons, Metro is ramping up its War on Mosquitoes by sending out the Health Department troops to look for properties with breeding grounds and set up traps to identify the ones that carry West Nile. Last year’s mosquito problem was pretty terrible with all the [...]
Happy Hour: Keeping The Peace
University of Tennessee will be doling out an “honorary doctor of laws and humane letters in ecology and evolutionary biology” to ol’ Al Gore in the spring. We don’t know what that even means.

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: First You Take The Salt…
Well, Franklin failed to earn the Tequila Capitol of the World title yesterday, drawing a few hundred shy of their goal at Sol’s Cinco de Mayo shindig. Maybe next year! [WKRN] Two schools in Cookeville were evacuated after homemade soda bottle bombs went off in trashcans in both schools. Fortunately no one was hurt, but [...]
Bright & Early: Speed Of Sound Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Most of us have made the jaunt down to Atlanta at least once or twice to hit up IKEA or the Coke museum or maybe just because we love their traffic (ha ha). We’re learning this morning about an ongoing research study examining the possibility of a high-speed train running between Nashville [...]
