Happy Hour: What A World
Around 4:15 this afternoon, a car “fell” or “apparently flipped” (depending on where you get your news) off of the Gateway Bridge downtown. No one seems to know who or how and we are just so confused right now. [WSMV]
What we wouldn’t give to be a fly on the wall while Metro talks to teachers [...]
Bright & Early: Wait-Listed Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Tennessee’s drug assistance program for people with HIV/AIDS now has a waiting list thanks to folks losing jobs and insurance, along with an increase in the number of people living with the disease.

We’d like to take a moment to pause and observe the above photograph of poor Punxsutawney Phil that accompanied the Tennessean’s Ground [...]
Bright & Early: Ballin’ Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It was a win-win weekend for us in the football department… well, make that a win-win-win. Not only did the Titans make quick work of the Ravens in Baltimore (stretching their record to 5-0), but TSU mowed right over UT-Martin 30-27 in overtime, and who can forget Vandy? In a complete upset, [...]
Happy Hour: The Dolly Has Spoken
Apparently there were some rumors floating around this week that one Miss Dolly Parton had kicked the bucket. But alas, the Dolly scoffs at death. [WSMV]
The Tennessee State Fair is going dry this year and only selling alcohol at the grandstand events. Guess we’ll be keeping up our reputation after all. [Tennessean]
