Bright & Early: No Foolin’ Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The internet is all abuzz about our beloved Pancake Pantry’s latest health inspection report, which gave them a sad score of 59 due to a stray cockroach, an employee wiping his nose and continuing to cook, and some meatballs that were the wrong temperature. While we would love to cap this off [...]
Bright & Early: Jumping For Joy Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Yesterday we heard the news that Tennessee would be raking in $500 million of new stimulus money to give a much-needed boost to the state’s struggling school systems.

Though they originally planned to save the first 4,900 doses for healthcare professionals, only 64 actually showed up yesterday. Officials are recommending that kids and young adults receive it first since they’re the [...]

Good morning, Nashville. A few months ago, we heard rumors of a proposed lawsuit between A&E and House of Bryant, the company that currently owns the rights to our fair state’s anthem “Rocky Top.” In an episode of City Confidential, a true-crime show, producers decided to insert a 12-second clip from the song to make [...]
