Bright & Early: Just Another Manic Monday Edition
Good morning, Nashville. So this weekend wasn’t quite as relaxing as we’d hoped, but somehow despite the craziness of Steve McNair’s death, our souvenir sunburns from the Hot Chicken Festival, and The Great Fireworks Monsoon of ‘09, we’ve still rolled into Monday morning in once piece. As of this morning, developments in the McNair case [...]

The Weekendist: Independence Day Essentials
Fourth of July is one of our favorite times to be in Nashville, and the challenge this year is to pack our days as full as we can with any of the billion events happening this weekend. Also, if you need to stock up on booze for your cookouts/block parties/BYOB-type things, do it today since [...]

Happy Hour: Drink Up, Me ‘Earties, Yo Ho
Well, Tennessee’s unemployment rate is now 10.7%, which is the highest it’s been since November 1983. Beer us, please. [WSMV]
In an effort not to see that rate skyrocket in the coming months, Governor Phil put in the bid to GM in hopes that they’ll bring the manufacturing of that new car to the Spring Hill [...]

Happy Hour: Hate To Say We Told You So

Second Harvest Food Bank is about to meet their record goal of [...]
Photo Of The Day: July 7, 2008
This weekend’s fireworks brought some impressive photo ops, but let’s face it: Taking good pictures of fireworks is incredibly challenging. We loved the colors and exposure of this one from new contributor jimbenttree, taken at the Brentwood Country Club on Thursday night.
