Spooky, Festive End To This Year’s Grassy Knoll Movie Nights This Sunday
When Grassy Knoll Movie Nights came on the scene back in July, we didn’t know much about them, but we were excited. Outdoor movies are the best! Now, with a solid season of cult classics behind them – Lucas, Harold & Maude, Rear Window, The Princess Bride, Cool Hand Luke and Annie Hall – they’re wrapping [...]
Olive & Sinclair Opens Chocolate Factory For Tours Beginning September 30
We consider ourselves spoiled just because we live in the same town as artisan chocolatier Olive & Sinclair, beloved by Gwyneth Paltrow and food critics galore. We’re kind of obsessed. We’ve sampled all the O&S chocolate varieties (and then some). We’ve gifted countless bars to out of town friends, spreading the O&S gospel far and [...]
Bright & Early: Hustle Back Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’re not gonna lie: We were nearly convinced that football season wasn’t happening this year. However, the gates of the Baptist Sports Park swung wide open yesterday morning and many of our boys “shuffled” back into work after a 136-day vacation–or funemployment, if you will–following a new collective bargaining agreement reached between [...]

Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams Opens First Tennessee Shop June 24 In East Nashville
We’ve been anticipating the opening of Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams in East Nashville since we first read the name on the building permit. Sure, you can get Jeni’s at Hot & Cold in Hillsboro Village, but we were drawn in by the magic of one of Jeni’s Columbus ice cream shops about a year ago [...]
I Dream Of Weenie Reopening Soon In New Five Points Spot
In what is pretty much the only Weiner news we actually care about, I Dream Of Weenie is set to reopen in East Nashville’s Five Points soon (like, maybe-tomorrow-soon) (UPDATE: They’re open!). After a bit of a kerfuffle with the previous management, I Dream of Weenie was shuttered this winter and had remained a sad, [...]
Happy Hour: Lights, Camera, Action

Former Maryland offensive coordinator James Franklin hopes to turn the team around after the two straight seasons of a 2-10 record. [Tennessean] Meanwhile in Murfreesboro, mosque opponents plan to keep on [...]
Bright & Early: We’re Running Out Of Ice Puns Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The weatherpeople continue to keep an eye on the big ice storm that will be rolling through the area later today, though (predictably!) it looks like we’ll be getting more un-frozen rain than anything here in Nashville while the worst of it will be passing to our north. The current forecast shows [...]
It’s Tuesday All Week At The Family Wash, And You Know What That Means…
Pies! Pints! It’s 8am and our bellies are already rumbling at the mere mention of the Family Wash‘s Pie & Pint night. Usually a Tuesday-only treat, Pie & Pint night at the Family Wash nets you a famous shepherd’s pie and a frosty pint of beer for just $10 (a pie by itself is regularly [...]
