Bright & Early: Music To Our Ears Edition
Good morning, Nashville. As much as we joke around about Bluepocalypse and CMApocalypse and all the other -pocalypses that involve hundreds of thousands of tourists flooding downtown Nashville, we really do appreciate it. Folks who visited over the weekend for the SEC festivities pumped an estimated $10 million into our economy and also had some [...]
Happy Hour: What A World
Around 4:15 this afternoon, a car “fell” or “apparently flipped” (depending on where you get your news) off of the Gateway Bridge downtown. No one seems to know who or how and we are just so confused right now. [WSMV]
What we wouldn’t give to be a fly on the wall while Metro talks to teachers [...]
Happy Hour: Nothing To See Here
A sizable chunk of downtown Nashville experienced a power outage this afternoon that lasted about two to three hours. We heard a few reports of folks stuck in elevators, but all in all it wasn’t too catastrophic. There isn’t even an exciting explanation for it other than a “failed insulator” and a blown circuit.

Tennessee would like to remind you that you can’t use that whole Cyber Monday thing to avoid state sales tax. Even if the site doesn’t charge you anything up front, you’re still supposed to e-file. [WTVF]

VA officials are slated to testify at a congressional hearing in DC in [...]

It was really a three-way tie, so we flipped a few coins. Congratulations to Elizabeth & Jessie!
We received a large list of [...]
CMA Music Festival Road Closures [CMApocalypse 2009]
Well, it’s that time again. As of this morning, our fair city has started the ritual shutting-down-of-basically-everything in honor of the CMA Music Festival, which starts tomorrow and runs through this weekend. We’re excited to bring you some tips, freebies, and silliness over the next few days, beginning with this brief Guide To Avoiding A [...]
Bright & Early: Like A Tidal Wave Edition
Good morning, Nashville. While we’ve all been tightening our belts a bit over the past year or two, one thing is not suffering a bit in the face of this recession: The CMA Music Festival. Despite the steep-ish price tag and rising travel expenses, officials say that so far the numbers aren’t any lower this [...]
