Bright & (Not So) Early: We Are Out Of Titles Today Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’re running late this morning, so you know the drill. Your abbreviated Bright & Early:
Six out of every 100 Tennesseans are carrying an STD, so think about this before you make your Decisions. We are the 11th most STD-ridden state in the country. [City Paper]
Some crazies stormed John Rich’s luminous castle, Mt. [...]
Bright & Early: Things That Make Us Happy Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Our Hard Rock Cafe will be shutting down for a few weeks for a complete overhaul of the building’s interior, which is cool and all, but here’s the really neat part: While they’re closed, they’ll be putting their employees to good use by paying them to help the community. During this time, [...]
Bright & Early: Amnesty For All Of Us Edition
Good morning, Nashville. If you’re one of the folks who have helped rack up Nashville’s $26 million in unpaid traffic fines over the years, you might be in luck. Councilman Eric Crafton is proposing an amnesty program for anyone with minor violations in 2006, 2007, or 2008 who hasn’t paid their ticket(s) which would allow [...]
Tonight: Shakespeare In The Park 2009 Kicks Off
A telltale sign of the rapidly-approaching end of summer in Nashville, Shakespeare in the Park has been busy setting up shop in Centennial Park for the past few weeks, preparing for their first performance of the summer tonight.

Bright & Early: Live And Learn Edition
Good morning, Nashville.

Consequently, the program has been handed off to local charities like the YWCA who can provide the classes [...]
Bright & Early: We’ve Got Issues Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Over the past few months, we’ve been following the story of three VA hospitals, including one in Murfreesboro, that may have infected dozens of veterans with HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C through the use of contaminated medical equipment. VA officials are slated to testify at a congressional hearing in DC in [...]

Kids ages 5-16 will be allowed to fish in Shelby Park’s Sevier Lake from 8:30am-10:30am, where 2,000 pounds of catfish have helpfully been dumped to [...]
Get Your Dancing Shoes Ready: Dancing In The Park 2009
We somehow missed this year’s inaugural Tango at Twilight on May 15, but that doesn’t mean we missed all the fun. There are still plenty more evening dancing dates in Centennial Park to sate our desire for a good sweaty outdoor dancing romp with strangers!
Tango at Twilight works like this: From 8-8:30pm, there’s a short [...]
Go Green This Weekend At The Nashville Earth Day Festival
We had such a great time at the Nashville Earth Day Festival last year that we couldn’t wait for it to come back around. Seriously. We came home with bags upon bags of freebies, most notably from Whole Foods. So basically, we can’t wait to loot the Earth Day Festival again this year!
The 2009 Earth [...]
