Happy Hour: Not Out Of The Woods

Tomorrow is another snow day for the Davidson County school kids, those lucky ducks. [WSMV]
But it isn’t without cause as the roads are still pretty treacherous in spots and the slush is expected to re-freeze tonight. [WSMV]
Case in point: An SUV slid on the slush that’s still on the side of I-40 near the airport [...]

Happy Hour: Not In This Bar, You Don’t

If you’ve got an extra gun (or three!) just lying around the house and collecting dust, you can drop it off at one of several locations around town today or tomorrow in exchange for… a circus ticket! The program aims to get guns off the street, and we may laugh, but we hear they collected [...]

Happy Hour: Git-R-Dun

Classic: “At approximately 9:50 p.m. on Monday, a red Toyota pickup truck with the word ‘Redneck’ printed on the back window, crashed into the west side of Sonic at 1505 Murfreesboro Road.” No one was hurt, by the way. [Tennessean]
Despite Adam Dread’s best efforts to help find a workaround for Tennessee’s new Guns In Bars [...]

Happy Hour: Buckle Up!

Today marks the beginning of Tennessee’s “Click It or Ticket” seat belt enforcement campaign, which means there will be extra cops hanging out everywhere and actually looking for people who aren’t wearing their seat belts. So, click it unless you’re dying to be pulled over. [WSMV]
The stimulus money will soon be paying for Oak Ridge [...]

Bright & Early: Three Little Pigs Stayed Home Edition

Good morning, Nashville. We did everything in our power to ward off that pesky swine flu, but it as of yesterday, it made its way into Tennessee with a vengeance. And by “vengeance” we mean there is one case so far in Williamson County and the kid appears to be doing fine. Consequently, though, the [...]

Bright & Early: Are We Smarter Than A Fifth Grader Edition

Good morning, Nashville. Finally, we have some good news for you: a recent study by Johns Hopkins University showed that Tennessee’s graduation rates increased more than any other state between 2002 and 2006. Not that we think Metro Nashville Public Schools had much to do with this, but we’re happy to see our kiddos finishing [...]

Bright & Early: Clouds On The Horizon Edition

Good morning, Nashville. So how about the weather this morning? We hope you had a chance to get outside and enjoy the 80-degree goodness yesterday because it looks like the next few days are going to be cold and soggy. And as fun as snow would be two days after the trees started blooming, we [...]

Bright & Early: Morning After Edition

Good morning, Nashville. What a great time we had last night at Twestival Nashville! We met so many of you guys face-to-face, gave away a ton of great prizes, heard some awesome music, and most importantly raised over $2,000 for charity: water (if you missed out, you can still donate here!) And oh yeah, we [...]

Bright & Early: Money On The Mind Edition

Good morning, Nashville. It’s official: English First, the group behind the charter amendment that’s costing us 350,000 to put on a special ballot next week, has missed the deadline for disclosing their financial records. This means that we won’t know how much money they’ve raised or who it’s coming from until probably after the election [...]

Bright & Early: Pink Slip Thursday Edition

Good morning, Nashville. This is how we hate to start the morning, but layoff news just keeps rolling in. This time, we’ve come full circle to another round of state job cuts. You might remember the first round of buyouts and layoffs back in June where about 2,300 state employees lost their jobs, and this [...]
