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: Many Thanks Edition
Good morning, Nashville, and a special Veterans Day shout-out to our servicemen and women. Festivities will be underway in about an hour downtown with the annual Veterans Day parade down Broadway, stretching from 14th Ave. to 3rd Ave. So if you’re in the area, be aware of road closures and get out there and thank [...]
Happy Hour: All Fenced In
Don’t forget- CMA Awards tonight! Street closures here. [WSMV] The Metro Council is prepping for a second vote on a measure that would create special free parking spaces for folks who drive hybrid, electric and otherwise green cars.

Bright & Early: When The Circus Comes To Town Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Crews are busy setting up for the miniature one-night version of CMApocalypse that some also know as the CMA Awards. The show is entering its 44th year and will take place tomorrow night at the Bridgestone Arena at 7pm. We’ll also have the added bonus of Dierks Bentley filming a Good Morning [...]
Happy Hour: Keep The Music Playing
Congressman Jim Cooper toured the Schermerhorn today and it’s still looking pretty pitiful. Get well soon, Nashville Symphony! [WKRN] Bloody mattress and bed bug horror stories aside, the Metro Health Department found that the Stadium Inn is in tip-top shape. For the Stadium Inn. [WTVF] Kids are starting school next week (already!?) and it looks [...]

Bright & Early: Bust Out The Candles Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Downtown seems to have recovered from yesterday’s power outage/gas leakage/CMA invasion. We’re getting conflicting stories as to what actually happened, but we’re going to go with the one that names copper theft as the main culprit. According to NES, the pilfered copper would have prevented the outage. A close runner up would [...]
It’s CMApocalypse (For Real, Y’All!)
We don’t really know what’s going on downtown… But we do know that it can be pretty accurately described as CMAPOCALYPSE! Our favorite endearing term for the CMA Awards rings a little true today as road closures, gas leaks, transformer explosions and massive power outages have plagued downtown Nashville since early this morning. A gas [...]
Bright & Early: CMApocalypse v.2.0 Edition
Good morning, Nashville. You know what day it is, right? It’s CMApocalypse 2008, round 2. We’re heartbroken that we had to miss Miley and Billy Ray downtown for Good Morning America this morning, but we take comfort in knowing that they’ll probably be performing that song somewhere in Nashville at least 4,851 more times before [...]
