Bright & Early: Wet Hot Tennessee Summer Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Cool Springs experienced quite the flooding scare yesterday as a slow-moving thunderstorm dumped as much as 2.5″ of rain within an hour in some areas, causing flash floods that stranded motorists and made their way into at least a few homes. The scene was an eerily familiar one, as flooding is still [...]
Bright & Early: Where It Hurts Edition
Good morning, Nashville. As of July 1, we’ll be shelling out just a little bit more for our traffic tickets than we used to. Strapped for cash (who isn’t?), the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation will be be requiring municipalities to tack on an additional $13.75 fee per violation when we pay our tickets before the [...]
The Weekendist: Bash The Stache Edition

Kerry Collins took over for the rest of the game and despite VY’s sprained knee and ankle, Coach [...]
Happy Hour: Definitely Not A Nashville Party
More complaints were filed about John Rich’s infamous parties at Mt. Richmore on Love Circle. This time, his neighbors called the police and accused him of having fireworks and helicopters. [Tennessean] The Sarah Palin email hacking trial finally ended today, and former UT student David Kernell was charged with one count each of obstruction of [...]
Bright & Early: It All Falls Down Edition
Good morning, Nashville. By the time you read this, the demolition of the Nashville Autohaus and several other buildings near the 7th and Shirley intersection will probably be underway (but not Rocketown just yet!) Construction for the Music City Center is expected to break ground today meaning that all of the buildings that are currently [...]
Bright & Early: Cuddly As A Cactus Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It’s the holiday season and the sound of Christmas music fills the air downtown thanks to those giant speaker-boxes on every street corner. The extra dose of holiday flavor makes just about everyone a little more cheerful–everyone, that is, except for the state workers in the Rachel Jackson Building on Sixth and [...]
