Bright & Early: Peep Peep Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Several Metro Schools staff members made a colorful appearance at last night’s School Board meeting to let everyone know just how excited they are about their hours, jobs, and incomes being cut. Last week, the board proposed a new budget for next year that would cut 665 jobs and shave one hour [...]
Happy Hour: Revenge Of The Tennessee State Fair
The Tennessee State Fair is back! We thought it was dead ‘n’ gone with the passing of the State Fairgrounds, but since the Fairgrounds have an extension, so does the Fair. More good news is that a private company will be running it so hopefully it won’t suck as much. [Tennessean]
Nashville is safe. Nashville is [...]
Bright & Early: Enough Already Edition
Good morning, Nashville. If you’re looking out the window this morning and wondering how the heck it’s still snowing, we’re right there with you. And if you didn’t know it was snowing, a quick skim of the headlines would probably tip you off. We’re seeing everything from kids going without food because school is closed [...]

Bright & Early: Take Us Out To The Fair Edition
Good morning, Nashville. As of last night, the Tennessee State Fair as we know it is no more. Mayor Dean penned a letter conveying the decision and handed it off to a board member to read to a crowd of 200 angry folks who booed the decision. Metro will be seizing control of the fairgrounds [...]
Bright & Early: Walking The Walk Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It looks like we might finally get our new sidewalks and bike lanes after all. Metro Public Works has finished up creating the new guidelines for where all of them should go, and now they’re trying to set the priorities to determine who will get them first. As far as we’re concerned, [...]
Bright & Early: Batten Down The Hatches Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’re bracing ourselves for an invasion, and we’re not talking about Georgia this time. It seems that some armadillos have been slowly infiltrating the area unbeknownst to us, traveling up through Memphis and making their way across the east into Middle Tennessee. So far they’ve only made it as far east as [...]
