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 is [...]
Bright & Early: #TheSituation2010
Good morning, Nashville. Whether you’re reading this from under your covers at home or you’re cursing the school children for that snow day you didn’t get, the winter weather is on its way.

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]

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 [...]
Bright & Early: (Don’t) Light ‘Em Up Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The State of Tennessee is cracking down on its employees’ bad habits by charging them 50 bucks if they can’t quit smoking by October 1. The new mandate goes for all state employees and spouses who are covered under the state health insurance plan. And for those needing a little extra help [...]
Happy Hour: One Hump Or Two?
A rogue camel that escaped from a petting zoo in Dickson was found strolling around town today. In its defense, it was a pretty nice day for a walk! [Tennessee]
And holy crap, it’s like Christmas! We’re accepting all $4.5 billion of the stimulus money here in Tennessee, contrary to what we heard a few weeks [...]
Bright & Early: Chicken Little Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It seems the sky is falling in north Nashville, complete with 75-pound rocks raining down from the heavens and battering people’s houses. Actually, it’s just debris from blasting at a construction site down the road that has residents up in arms. Some are seeing damage to their homes that won’t be covered [...]
