Don’t forget to set those DVRs! The Extreme Makeover episode featuring Nashville’s Lighthouse Christian School getting a post-flood makeover will air this Sunday at 7pm.

Bright & Early: Practice Makes Perfect Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It’s feeling a little toasty outside, isn’t it? Well, more like someone cranked the oven to “broil.” Yes, it’s summer, and yes, it always gets hot, but temperatures are supposed to reach a record high today with the heat index spiking to 110, which is definitely hot enough to be dangerous. Metro [...]
Bright & Early: Christmas In July Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Metro Councilwoman Karen Bennett is concerned that chopping down a city Christmas tree every year might not be the best way to go green.

Happy Hour: Two Days To Turkeyday
After finally locating a Christmas tree for the city (though it would have been kinda cool to have the National Guard to airlift one from Mt. Juliet), NES chopped it down today despite protests from the environmentalists. The tree was 60 years old. [Tennessean] A couple of generous Nashville celebrities kicked off the Thanksgiving season [...]
Bright & Early: Decisions, Decisions! Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We woke up to the news that city officials have FINALLY decided on a Christmas tree for us, which they’ll (and by “they” we mean our BFFs at NES) be putting up in the Public Square on December 5th. Apparently it’s been a rough year for the Christmas tree farms due to [...]
