Bright & Early: Get Real Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Over the weekend, a vandal struck the Tennessee State Capitol building and spraypainted messages along the outside walls and sidewalks.

Bright & Early: Open The Gates And Seize The Day Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Bonnaroo officials are hoping to alleviate at least some of the traffic woes that have kept some festival attendees from waiting 11 or so hours to get through the gates and backing things up on I-24. Gates will open a little earlier than usual–7pm on Wednesday–to get attendees into the campgrounds faster. [...]
Bright & Early: Long Way Home Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The Musicians Hall of Fame (not to be confused with the Country Music Hall of Fame) could finally open its doors again–inside the Municipal Auditorium. The attraction shut down last year after a particularly nasty battle with the MDHA in which the city bought up and demolished that entire section of town [...]
Bright & Early: Festivus For The Rest Of Us Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Spring Hill rejected the zoning request for Festival Tennessee, a proposed theme park that started arousing suspicion from the moment it was announced last month. Though developers promised roller coasters, a water park, the largest hotel complex in the world, a sportsplex, an NBA team and 15,000-20,000 jobs, digging into their past [...]
Happy Hour: On The Prowl
The Tennessee State Highway Patrol is working to drop the “highway” from their name, as they would like for everyone to realize that they are more than traffic cops.

Bright & Early: Business Up Front Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Today’s the day! CMApocalypse 2010 is off to a stormy start, but hopefully all thunder and lighting and wind and rain will stay far away from downtown for this morning’s kickoff parade. Don’t forget to check out the lengthy list of road closures, which started at 8am today. And speaking of traffic, people [...]
Happy Hour: We’ve Got (More) Company
Forget CMApocalypse; Tennessee’s finest are battening down the hatches for the 80,000 Bonnaroo attendees who will be pouring into our state next weekend. They’ve set up some extra patrols to help with the traffic and snag people who might have some, er, magic cupcakes in tow. [Post Politics, who just cleaned up on Jeopardy for the [...]
