Happy Hour: Into The Dark
The Country Music Marathon is already breaking records with more than 30,000 folks registered to participate. [WTVF]
State Senator Ophelia Ford may miss most or all of the current legislative session after she faced some complications with a recent surgery. This won’t be the first time it’s happened; she also missed most of 2007’s session for [...]
Bright & Early: Hot, Hot, Hot Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Congratulations to all of our friends who are way more athletic than we are and completed the Country Music Marathon or 1/2 marathon on Saturday. For the full list of runners and times, check out the Tennessean’s massive marathon database. Unfortunately the race didn’t go by without some casualties; 25-year old Benjamin [...]
Happy Hour: Yeah, So Our City Is Pretty Weird
If you’re headed out to watch the Country Music Marathon tomorrow (and if you’re not, you should be!) you’ll see a record-breaking crowd, some hoola hoopers, a “joggler” or two, and… Jason Mraz? [Tennessean]
And also, don’t say we didn’t warn you about all the road closures. [Your Nashvillest]
That pyro in training charming kid in Chattanooga [...]
The Weekendist: It’s Getting Hot In Here Edition
Will the madness ever end? April is packed to overflowing with events every weekend, and we have to admit that we’re a little worn out from the past two weeks. But Nashvillest never stops, so we will continue cramming things into our schedule until we pass out from all the fun. The weather is warm [...]
It’s That Time Again: Country Music Marathon’s Epic List Of Road Closures
It’s that time of year again – The time of year when the entire city shuts down for a few hours as 30,000 masochistic runners descend upon our streets and 100,000 of their closest friends come to watch the self-inflicted torture take place (we love you, runners!) It’s none other than the Country Music Marathon! [...]
Bright & Early: Out Of The Frying Pan Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It’s getting a little toasty outside today and it’s probably going to get toastier over the weekend. We sure don’t envy the folks who will be running the Country Music Marathon tomorrow, but know that your Nashvillest editors will be hanging out along the sidelines with cold drinks cheering you on (especially [...]
Happy Hour: Okay, These Twitter Wars Are Getting Ridiculous
It is a strange world we live in when our state senators are getting into Twitter spats with one another. So thanks, senators Norris and Kyle, for showing us exactly what it is that y’all do all day. [Tennessean]
Two very classy ladies robbed five different stores in the Cool Springs Galleria today and rather than [...]
Happy Hour: Yeah, So We Wish We Could Run A Marathon
Big changes in store for this year’s Country Music Marathon. Not only are they tweaking your course, jacking up your registration prices, and embarrassing all you half-marathon runners by making you wear bright red shirts, but they’re also changing the t-shirts to synthetic materials instead of cotton. Yikes! (Alright, so it really isn’t that bad [...]
Urban Pranksters: Dive-In Theater
Funny people are our favorite, and we just hit the jackpot. We think we found all of Nashville’s funny people in one place. They’re all part of a group called the Dive-In Theater, and spreading harmless (yet hilarious) mischief and pranks around town is their specialty. These are the people who planned a fake marathon [...]
