Bright & Early: Them’s Fightin’ Words Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Looks like we’re in for another gorgeous day of cookout-worthy weather. Meanwhile, things are heating up over at Al Gore’s Belle Meade fortress, where one group is saying that he’s actually using more energy than he was before his green renovations. Gore isn’t buying it, though, and he’s arguing that his utility [...]
Bright & Early: Wanna Get Away Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We hear it’s been a rough road for our favorite former Director of Schools Pedro Garcia ever since the city ran him out earlier this year, but we didn’t know it was this bad: He’s having such a hard time selling is $1.2M Brentwood mansion that he’s now throwing a pair of [...]
Bright & Early: Hug A Sound Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We hate to start off the week with such a downer, but we want to give our Sounds some love after the Tennessean had a ball coming up with pitiful headlines about them this weekend (See Sounds lose to Iowa in empty stadium, Only Sounds of silence play at empty park). The [...]
Bright & Early: Coast Is Clear Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It’s Monday again and we’re yawning with you. The good news is that we’ve made it through CMApocalypse 2008 and we’ve got an entire year to put our town back together before it starts all over again in 2009. And because everything looks better in retrospect, don’t forget to toss your best [...]

Bright & Early: Killing Us Softly Edition
Good morning, Nashville. In the latest series of bad reviews by people who don’t live here, we’ve been ranked the sixth worst city for carbon emissions among the US’s 100 largest cities. Memphis, Knoxville, and Chattanooga- before you start pointing fingers, you guys also made the top 25. What can we do? Mayor Dean says [...]
Bright & Early: A Different Perspective Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We never thought we’d see the day when the Russians would be taking lessons from Tennessee about anything, and especially transportation planning. But Russian diplomats are, in fact, within our borders at this very moment meeting with TDOT about how they can improve their country’s road programs. Yesterday, they toured some of [...]
Bright & Early: School’s Out Edition
Good morning, Nashville. While the kids are enjoying their first day of summer bliss, WKRN brings us the sad story about a Dickson County high school senior who decided to go green and save gas by riding a horse to school yesterday. He thought it would be “cute” and “fun,” but apparently Dickson County schools [...]
Bright & Early: Rough Morning All Around Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It’s with incredibly heavy hearts this morning that we report that Christian music star Steven Curtis Chapman lost his youngest child, Maria, yesterday after she was struck by a car driven by Chapman’s teenage son in the family’s driveway in Williamson County. Maria, 5, was one of three girls that the Chapman [...]
