Photo Of The Day: Brit & Britt Doing What?
So it’s possible that your Nashvillest editors went to the Nicki Minaj/Britney Spears show at the Bridgestone Arena last night.

Bright & Early: Food For Thought Edition
Good morning, Nashville. If you’ve ever enjoyed a hot dog, popcorn or even a beer at a Titans or Preds game, it might be worth knowing that 62% of LP Field food vendors and 59% of Bridgestone Arena food vendors had major health violations according to a recent inspection. Vendors at both facilities were found [...]
Happy Hour: And Stay Out!
Well, obviously the big news tonight is that the Titans are suing Lane Kiffin for poaching one of their coaches. Poaching a coach, they say! It even rhymes.
