Bright & Early: Something Other Than The Pig Flu Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’re probably almost as sick of reading/hearing about the swine flu as you are, so as our gift to you on this Friday, we mined and dug until we found a small handful of stories that actually don’t mention it:
Don’t ever let us go, Sully. We’re mighty proud of Steve Sullivan, who’s [...]
Bright & Early: Cats And Dogs Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It’s a wet one out there today and we couldn’t be happier. It looks like we could get as much as 3 inches of rain over the next couple of days from the rogue tropical storm Fay plowing through the southeast. Also, we want to give a very special shout-out to all [...]
Happy Hour: No One’s Laughing
This just in from WSMV: Don’t tell bad jokes because people will hate you and you’ll have no friends. End of story. [WMSV]
Cumberland County is going to give it another go tonight at the school board meeting where they’ll hopefully approve a budget so that kids can be in class by Monday. [WKRN]
If you’re eating [...]
Bright & Early: Novel Ideas Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The city’s homeless population is on the rise, and along with it the downtown crime rate. Metro reports that 60% of the aggravated assaults in the downtown area involve the homeless either as perpetrators or victims, and oddly enough, shipping them out to other cities doesn’t seem to be helping. One Metro [...]
Bright & Early: Tourist Appreciation Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Metro Council is showing tourists anything but love this week as they consider jacking up taxes even higher than they already are. The increase would come by way of a 50-cent hike in the hotel/motel tax, which they see as a way to bring in more revenue without bothering the locals. Trouble [...]
Bright & Early: Final Four Edition
Good morning, Nashville. When we threw in our bid to host one of the NCAA women’s basketball Final Four many moons ago, we had no idea we actually had a shot at it. This morning, the NCAA announced that Nashville is one of the eight finalists for hosting the tournament from 2012 through 2016 and [...]
Bright & Early: Speed Of Sound Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Most of us have made the jaunt down to Atlanta at least once or twice to hit up IKEA or the Coke museum or maybe just because we love their traffic (ha ha). We’re learning this morning about an ongoing research study examining the possibility of a high-speed train running between Nashville [...]
Bright & Early: School Daze Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We hope you had as much fun as we did fun dodging school zones this morning on your way to work. Even though Metro Schools are back in session today, the kids in Cumberland County might be getting a few more days of summer. Or not. Truthfully, nobody knows. The school system [...]
