Happy Hour: The Last Fight

Okay, we could’ve sworn that we’d heard the last of the urban chickens, but apparently the law hasn’t actually passed yet. Onward to city hall, citizens! [City Paper] The parents of the fourth graders who accidentally ended up at a Metro charter school where fourth grade didn’t actually exist are thinking about suing. [WKRN] Remember [...]

Happy Hour: Oops!

So, good story: Once upon a time, Davidson County Sheriff Daron Hall, champion of local immigration enforcement intiative 287(g), accidentally addressed hate group Council of Conservative Citizens as a featured speaker. And by “hate group” we mean they openly oppose mixing races, non-white immigration, and homosexuality. [Tennessean] A Chattanooga man was finally found guilty of [...]

Bright & Early: Watch Where You Step Edition

Good morning, Nashville. Been to the Shelby Street pedestrian bridge lately? Apparently it smells like urine, vomit, and alcohol. Where do we sign up? And in case you missed it, WSMV has been kind enough to supply us with some close-up pictures of these alleged “nasty spots,” which we’re guessing are Photoshopped. Wait, what’s that [...]

Happy Hour: File It Under ‘Excuses To Drink’

We’re thinking that hell may have actually frozen over: Our beloved alma mater Belmont University–the driest of dry campuses–will be allowing booze onto the premises for one night only. Beer will be served in the Anheuser-Busch sponsored “media canteen” located right next to the media tent. It’s a slippery slope, friends. [WKRN] Meanwhile, the folks [...]

Happy Hour: We Heard There Was A Gas Shortage

Some of you may not be reading this until 8pm because you made the unfortunate decision to crawl home on I-65N where a semi overturned this afternoon and sent commuters into traffic hell. The truck also spilled some precious fuel across the interstate, which people immediately tried to scrape off the road and dump into [...]

The Only Way To Make This Gas Thing Funny Is A Good Dose Of Hitler

Sent to us from about five thousand of our Twitter friends (okay, okay… we don’t really have five thousand Twitter friends, but thanks to all who sent it in)… Some day, we’ll stop talking about the gas shortage. Until then:

Bright & Early: Running On Empty Edition

Good morning, Nashville. Hopefully you made it to work this morning on whatever fumes are left in your gas tank. Thanks to the Tennessean‘s sort-of-accurate gas map, we were able to find a spot to fill up yesterday, and the situation should be improving a lot within the next few days. Meanwhile, don’t be fooled [...]

Nashville In The News: No One Can Figure Out This Gas Thing

All Britney Spears drama aside, Nashville has been a pretty popular topic of conversation in the news this weekend, and we all know why. We’ve received tons of calls from friends & family around the country wondering why exactly we don’t have gas. And well, we just can’t answer that for them. Everyone seems to [...]

Nashvillest Twitter Roundup: It’s A Gas

We know we can always count on our Twitter friends to entertain us when the going gets tough. For those not in the Twitter loop, here’s a snapshot of how your fellow Nashvillians are handling the gas crisis. And if you want to do your part to make things better, don’t panic.  @studionashvegas: #nashvillegas it feels [...]

Happy Hour: We’re Guarding Our Gasoline

Just when we thought the gas situation couldn’t get any worse, people started throwing tantrums at the gas pumps. It reminds us of those good ol’ hurricane days in Virginia. [WKRN] We thought that less gas = less driving = less wrecks, but it seems that Nashville drivers are just as ruthless as ever. Three [...]
