Bright & Early: Flash Bang Boom Edition
Good morning, Nashville. News Channel 5′s investigative team found that County Clerk John Arriola has been charging a $40 fee for his employees to perform weddings, and then pocketing the cash.

Bright & Early: Meep Meep Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We hope you enjoyed your long weekend as much as we did, and if you’re not one of the 45,500 people who gathered around the giant U2 space ship on Saturday, you can read all about it over at the Tennessean. Or maybe you were one of the 125,000 people who headed [...]
Bright & Early: Beer, Barbecue And Blowing Things Up Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We hope that all of you had a safe and long weekend and that none of you partook in activities like these. Speaking of things like that, Nashville area hospitals treated more than 50 folks for fireworks-related injuries over the weekend, many of which resulted from “people playing games, firing them at [...]
Bright & Early: A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood Edition
Good morning, Nashville. How about this weather? We often gripe and moan about melting and such, so we figure that it’s only appropriate to acknowledge the beautiful weather Mother Nature has bestowed on us this week.

Photo Of The Day: July 6, 2009
One of our favorite Fourth of July photos comes to us from ninaradio, who obviously snapped it before the Great Fourth Of July Monsoon of ’09.

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 [...]
Navigating Nashville On The 4th [Road Closures]
