Bright & Early: Boo! Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Happy Halloween! Well… almost. Before you go busting out your crazy costumes, the Tennessee Highway Patrol is reminding us all to be careful this weekend as Halloween is one of the most dangerous holidays for young kids and pedestrians. So drive safe or call (or text!) a cab, watch out for kiddos [...]
Bright & Early: Highly Suspicious Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’re having a rough time tearing ourselves away from the miner rescue livestream long enough to peruse the local headlines, so we’re going to get right to it this morning: The morning began with a suspicious backpack near several important buildings which shut down parts of James Robertson Parkway, 2nd Avenue and [...]
Happy Hour: Bing Bang Boom
We all knew this was inevitable when half of NES went underwater last month, but a rate increase in our electric bills was finally announced today.

Around 4:15 this afternoon, a car “fell” or “apparently flipped” (depending on where you get your news) off of the Gateway Bridge downtown. No one seems to know who or how and we are just so confused right now. [WSMV] What we wouldn’t give to be a fly on the wall while Metro talks to [...]
Happy Hour: Life On The Edge
Some intense gang operation was busted up by the feds in Nashville and Murfreesboro with 64 counts of murder, attempted murder, drugs and kidnapping spread between the 9 members arrested. Three others are still at large. [Tennessean] Volkswagen has received over 5,000 applications for the 1,200 available positions at the plant. We feel this is [...]
Bright & Early: Water Under The Bridge Edition
Police out in Franklin held meetings yesterday to talk to parents about the big gang problem we apparently have. There’s no reason to panic, they say, but they’re trying to cut it off early. With summer vacation just around the corner, your kids may be looking at a lot of downtime. Trying to find for [...]
