Bright & Early: Out Of Line Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We can’t believe we’ve just been sitting and suffering through the deafening drone of the cicadas for the past few weeks when we could have been phoning in a noise complaint, which is exactly what one Cookeville man did last week. He thought the noise was coming from loud machinery, and sheriff’s [...]
Bright & Early: Something In The Water Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Things got a little out of hand at Wave Country yesterday and more than 20 Metro Police officers were called in to calm things down. For some reason, multiple fights started to break out in the crowds outside the gate and people who were tired of waiting started hopping the fence. Police [...]
Bright & Early: Get A Room Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’re running short on time this morning, so here’s your abbreviated Bright & Early: Metro Councilman Michael Craddock has withdrawn his bid in the mayoral election, leaving Mayor Dean pretty much on his own. Councilman Craddock has only been able to raise $14,000 compared to Dean’s $500,000. [WPLN] The fate of the [...]
Bright & Early: Strike Three Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It was another rough night for us in the storm department, and more than 16,900 customers are still without power this morning according to NES. Yet another storm system plowed through the state overnight carrying some nasty straight line winds, a few tornado scares and a whole lot of lightning with it. [...]
Bright & Early: End Of The World Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Parts of Nashville took quite the beating last night after a line of storms moved into the area just before dawn. As of 8am, NES reported that about 26,000 customers were without power and they’re actively working to restore everyone as soon as possible. The east side seemed to take the hardest [...]
Bright & Early: Is It Really May Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Brrr! We’re standing strong and repeating the mantra “we will not turn on the heat in May,” but we’re probably fighting a losing battle as temperatures won’t return to the 70′s until Thursday. The good news is that this chilly weather has been confusing the cicadas, silencing their noisy song at least [...]
Bright & Early: Remember This One Thing Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The city is getting ready to take on a big improvement project in the “North Gulch” which, as you might guess, is the area just north of the Gulch proper. The area they’re hoping to improve includes 12th Avenue South between Broadway and Demonbreun as well as McGavock Street between 11th and [...]
Bright & Early: A Bug’s Life Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’re running behind this morning, so you know the drill. Here’s your abbreviated Bright & Early: For the 13th straight month, Tennessee’s sales tax revenues have shown some pretty significant growth. We’re also about $126 million ahead of sales tax revenue projections for this fiscal year, which ends in June. [WTVF] Way [...]
Bright & Early: No Foolin’ Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The internet is all abuzz about our beloved Pancake Pantry’s latest health inspection report, which gave them a sad score of 59 due to a stray cockroach, an employee wiping his nose and continuing to cook, and some meatballs that were the wrong temperature. While we would love to cap this off [...]
Bright & Early: Taking Care Of Business Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We know we already mentioned the cicadas, but it looks like they’re going to be sort of a big deal! We’re in line to see the 13-year cicadas emerge from the ground sometime in May and they are part of something called Brood XIX, which is the largest brood we have in [...]
