Bright & Early: Still Occupied Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Occupy Nashville protesters have been asked to leave Legislative Plaza after three weeks of camping and protests. They’ve been given until 8pm tonight, but at least 50 of the protesters indicated that they are prepared to go to jail before they leave willingly. State officials are meeting this morning to discuss and [...]
Bright & Early: Winning! Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It was a good weekend in the local football realm, as Vanderbilt continued their winning streak with a 30-7 victory over Mississippi, and the Titans landed a 26-13 win over the Ravens despite mediocre-at-best performance from one certain highly-paid running back who missed all of this year’s training camp and preseason. Cough, [...]
Bright & Early: Enforcer Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Here’s your morning news: Former Preds defenseman and forward Wade Belak was found dead in a Toronto hotel room yesterday, and though the cause of death hasn’t been confirmed, many media outlets are reporting that it was a suicide.

Bright & Early: Won’t You Be His Neighbor Edition
Good morning, Nashville, and happy Friday! Your morning headlines: John Rich would like you to consider being his neighbor! Yes, really. [WTVF] Despite all the drama with his contract negotiations, the Titans say they’re not even considering a Chris Johnson trade at this point.

Bright & Early: Fish Out Of Water Edition

Bright & Early: Tweet Tweet Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Metro Police are continuing to investigate Wednesday night’s shooting at Centennial Park that left one juvenile with a gunshot wound to his knee. The whole thing started when a group of kids gathered near the Parthenon while Movies In The Park was going on and eventually began throwing gang signs. Metro’s Gang [...]
Chris Johnson Puts His “Act On Deck” With New Rap Single
Somewhere between beers two and three at happy hour tonight, Titans running back Chris Johnson took to the Twitters to unleash his new rap single. We have deduced that it is entitled “Act on Deck,” and it’s surprisingly devoid of autotune (too bad, now that T-Pain’s out of that market). Someone’s taking advantage of all [...]
Bright & Early: Get To Work Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Davidson County Criminal Court Clerk David Torrence could be penalized up to losing his job after WSMV planted a camera outside his house and found that he only works three days per week and pulls in a six-figure, taxpayer-funded salary. They also found that he uses his county car for liquor store runs [...]
Bright & Early: Groggy Monday Edition
Good morning, Nashville, and happy Monday. It’s going to be a short one this morning: Don’t count on too much snow tonight and tomorrow. At the moment, we’re pretty much looking at a half-inch or less. [Nashville WX] And again, TDOT has been putting down brine ahead of the expected snow. Except they’re running out [...]
Happy Hour: Over The Brine
TDOT is trying to stay ahead of tomorrow’s snow by spraying salt brine on the roads before it actually starts snowing. We endorse this. [WKRN] We’d like to wish a very happy birthday to Ms. Dolly Parton, who turned 65 today! We can only hope we’re still going that strong at 65. [Tennessean] The Davidson County [...]
