Bright & Early: Pop And Lock Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The Titans shuffled onto the practice field last night, opening Sunday’s festivities up to the public and giving us a small taste of the 2011 season that almost wasn’t. Rookie QB Jake Locker had one of his first chances to show fans that he has what it takes–or at least that he’s less [...]
Bright & Early: Get A Room Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’re running short on time this morning, so here’s your abbreviated Bright & Early: Metro Councilman Michael Craddock has withdrawn his bid in the mayoral election, leaving Mayor Dean pretty much on his own. Councilman Craddock has only been able to raise $14,000 compared to Dean’s $500,000. [WPLN] The fate of the [...]
Happy Hour: Full Moon Is Shining
Randy Moss is a Titan now! And being the ill-informed football fans that we sometimes are, we’re not sure what this means, but it seems to be good news. Wikipedia tells us that he fake-mooned an entire stadium once, so there’s that. [City Paper] And another news item we can’t comprehend today is this bathroom [...]
Happy Hour: It’s All A Blur
Students at Thurgood Marshall Middle, Andrew Jackson Elementary and AZ Kelley Elementary had a very hot first full day back after some pop-up storms took out their A/C overnight. [WKRN] The Davidson County Election Commission found another voting machine that hadn’t been tallied and now Douglas Henry only leads Jeff Yarbro by 11 votes. As [...]
Happy Hour: Dam It
Things aren’t looking too good for the Army Corps of Engineers today following the Senate subcommittee hearing on the Nashville flood. Though they defended their actions, they admitted that communication broke down because they failed to read their emails from the National Weather Service and pass on pertinent information. Mayor Dean also testified that the [...]
Bright & Early: Perfect Circle, Every Time Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Only two weeks after the flood, FEMA has doled out nearly $100 million in aid–about 90% of which has gone to home repairs and assistance for folks who were displaced. They’ve also approved more than $600,000 in small business loans. Meanwhile, some of the first accusations of price gouging are starting to [...]
Bright & Early: Ice Ice Baby Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Predictably, that epic ice storm we were promised seems to be wreaking all sorts of havoc everywhere but here. We’ll be seeing buckets and buckets of rain throughout the day and into tomorrow morning, but rain doesn’t exactly get us off the hook for work. If we start praying now, maybe the [...]
Happy Hour: The Silver Lining
Were you one of the lucky folks whose vital information happened to be on the laptops stolen back in December 2007 from the Davidson County Election Commission? You may be happy to know that the guys who stole the laptops pleaded guilty today. [WSMV] The City of Franklin might be booing Noshville’s mascot Mr. Pickle [...]
Happy Hour: ‘Twas The Night Before Debate ’08
Debate ’08 roundup: Belmont wraps up its preparations for the big night tomorrow … The Tennessean takes us inside the debate hall and we’re still sort of bummed out that we don’t get to go … Belmont’s really, really, really pumped for their night in the spotlight … No, seriously, they’re REALLY pumped … Channel [...]
Bright & Early: Three-Day Weekend Edition
Good morning, Nashville, and happy Friday. While we at Nashvillest were busy with our disastrous Fantasy Football draft last night, the Titans were wrapping up their preseason with a 23-21 win against the Packers. Bad news is, our favorite QB Vince Young messed up his hand. They say it’s just a little bruise, but we’re [...]
