Bright & Early: At The Drive-In Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Here’s what’s going on around town this morning: So someone drove a car through our favorite laundromat at the corner of 21st and Blair yesterday! Hopefully no one was hurt, but we can’t find it in the news anywhere. [Instagram & TwitPic] The folks at the Tennessee Aquarium are proud to announce [...]
Happy Hour: After The Storm
All things considered, we made out slightly better than the rest of the country in the storm department this afternoon. Here are some scary pictures from around the midstate, though. [WKRN] If you’ve noticed the new artwork popping up around the Music City Center construction site, you can thank the kids from the Oasis Center [...]
Happy Hour: The Neverending Story
Opry Mills has decided to sue its insurance company for $150 million, claiming that they’re not paying out nearly as much as they should in repair costs. The mall is estimated to have sustained upwards of $200 million in damage and so far only about $50 million has been covered. This is apparently the reason [...]
Happy Hour: Get Off Our Lawn!
You know that it’s a slow news day when we start uncovering scandal and tragedy in the love life of one Davy Crockett. [Tennessean] This week’s construction traffic at BNA is supposed to be some of the the worst yet. Plan accordingly if you’re flying in or out of town this week. [WKRN] It’s a [...]
Happy Hour: Revenge Of The Tennessee State Fair
The Tennessee State Fair is back! We thought it was dead ‘n’ gone with the passing of the State Fairgrounds, but since the Fairgrounds have an extension, so does the Fair. More good news is that a private company will be running it so hopefully it won’t suck as much. [Tennessean] Nashville is safe. Nashville [...]

As predicted, the city is taking every possible precaution including readying emergency response crews, putting the electric company on standby, working out [...]
Happy Hour: And… Freeze!
We’re looking at a possible first freeze tonight. Bring those plants inside! [WSMV] A Ft. Campbell soldier was arrested yesterday after nearly 100 pounds of C-4 explosives were found at his house. No one has determined why he was hoarding them. [WKRN] But speaking of blowing things up, TDOT started blasting on I-40 and White [...]
Bright & Early: Hands Off Edition
Good morning, Nashville. In case you missed it yesterday, police are on the lookout for a 5’6″, 140 lb. Hispanic man who’s been grabbing women’s butts as they jog along Belmont Boulevard. Based on the reports received so far, it seems to be happening between 5am and 6:30am, and the man lurks in his white [...]
Bright & Early: Seriously, TGIF Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Whether you were out chasing down one of the elusive Beastie Boys rumors (wait, was that just us?) or getting evacuated from LP Field along with 50,000 of your closest friends, last night was pretty rough all around. Storms rolled into the area around 11pm while Reba was onstage, and heavy rains [...]
Bright & Early: Under Construction Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Last night, the Metro Council approved funding for upwards of $600 million in construction projects all around the city. Within the next few years, we’re looking at a shiny new “adventure play park” (we can’t wait to see what that is) on the riverfront, a connector road between north Nashville and West [...]
