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: Make It Stop Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The lack of news today leaves us with nothing else to talk about besides the weather, which is the same weather we’ve been experiencing for about a month: It’s going to be blazingly hot today, and just when it gets to be unbearable, a Nashville-sized rain cloud will form directly over some [...]
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.

The Weekendist: Independence Day Essentials

Bright & Early: Crossing That Bridge Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The Metro Council sponsor for the controversial May Town Center proposal seems to have given up for the time being, announcing yesterday that he’s going to defer it indefinitely at the next council meeting. The Metro Planning Commission determined that it was a bad idea last week and it probably would’ve failed [...]
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 [...]
Bright & Early: We Hear The Train A-Comin’ Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We all remember the Music City Star commuter train’s July 4th fiasco that left hundreds of passengers angry stranded at the stations. After doing what they could to smooth things over, they’re finally giving it another go and offering service to and from the Wilson County Fair. They say they’ve made enough [...]
