Bright & Early: Party Fowl Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The fight over urban chicken coops continues to escalate in the Metro Council with the introduction of a second bill that would make chickens legal and create some regulations to keep them under control. This comes on the heels of the the other chicken-related bill that would declare them illegal. Apparently keeping [...]
Bright & Early: We Kind Of Hate April Fools Day Edition
Good morning, Nashville! Because we know that the internet is a virtual minefield of obnoxiousness on April Fools Day, we aim to provide a safe haven for you by not actually fooling you at all. That means no rickrolling, no flipping your page upside down (we’re looking at you, Youtube) no making up the news, [...]
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 [...]
Bright & Early: No Mas Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We probably don’t have to tell you how things turned out last night, but Nashville spoke up and voted down both initiatives, and we’re guessing (/hoping) that we don’t have to hear anything from Mr. Crafton for a while… or at least anything expensive. You can read about the results on over [...]
Election Madness, Part Deux: Get Out And Vote! [English Only]
Today’s the big election day for the English Only special ballot initiative, so be sure to take advantage of it this morning since you probably chipped in for the $350K it’s costing us to have it in the first place. Polls open at 7am today and will remain open until 7pm, which means you’ve got [...]
Happy Hour: All Eyes On Us
We’re all worn out from the inauguration festivities, but Nashville’s got another big day tomorrow: The English Only vote. And apparently the entire world is watching. Have you voted yet? [Tennessean]
Congrats to Torror Wyatt who had a kid on the side of I-24 today! Crazy way to enter the world, but we’re glad it worked [...]
Happy Hour: Yes He Did
Gail Kerr from the Tennessean gives us a good roundup of lucky Nashvillians who made it to DC for the inauguration. [Tennessean]
Jack Daniels knows how to celebrate- For the first time in a long long time, they’ve rolled out the inauguration barrel with some presidential whiskey. Not that we’ll ever get to drink it but [...]
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 [...]
Happy Hour: The David Briley Show!
After going back and forth a few times, Eric Crafton has decided that he’s definitely not showing up for the English Only debate with David Briley on NPT and definitely isn’t sending someone into the fire in his place. So uh, looks like David Briley will be arguing with himself. [Pith In The Wind]
The [...]
