Bright & Early: Feeling Viral Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Last Friday, McGavock High School math teacher Donald Wood had a meltdown during class in which he threw some tables, screamed a lot and admitted to starting a fire in the school bathroom one time. Wood was subdued and carted off in an ambulance, but not before one enterprising student caught the [...]
Happy Hour: Had Enough Of Your Elk
If you were hoping to hunt any elk this year, you’re fresh out of luck. The fifth and final elk was killed by a woman whose husband bought her the permit for $17,000. Hope it was worth it! [WSMV] Traffic is still backed up from a fatal accident on I-65N near the Wedgewood exit involving [...]
Happy Hour: Yeah, So Our City Is Pretty Weird
If you’re headed out to watch the Country Music Marathon tomorrow (and if you’re not, you should be!) you’ll see a record-breaking crowd, some hoola hoopers, a “joggler” or two, and… Jason Mraz? [Tennessean] And also, don’t say we didn’t warn you about all the road closures. [Your Nashvillest] That pyro in training charming kid [...]
Happy Hour: Gotta Watch Those Georgians
Sometimes we fear that the Federal Government or The State Of Georgia will swallow up our state and take away our ability to be, well, Tennessee. Thankfully state Rep. Susan Lynn is trying to pass a resolution that will remind everyone that the 10th Amendment is serious for real. [Pith In The Wind] Creepy Oak [...]
Happy Hour: Ars Gratia Artis Edition
It’s no secret that Fisk University has been in a tough financial situation for a while, but the state attorney general ruled today that they should at least be able to keep their Georgia O’Keeffe collection, which they thought they’d have to fork over to the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in New Mexico. And by “keep,” [...]
Bright & Early: Affordable Shmaffordable Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Members of one north Nashville community are all up in arms about affordable housing, but probably not in the way that you’d think. After Habitat for Humanity proposed a plan to build an affordable neighborhood behind the existing one, residents loudly protested, saying that the Habitat project would bring crime and drive [...]
Happy Hour: The Dolly Has Spoken
Apparently there were some rumors floating around this week that one Miss Dolly Parton had kicked the bucket. But alas, the Dolly scoffs at death. [WSMV] The Tennessee State Fair is going dry this year and only selling alcohol at the grandstand events. Guess we’ll be keeping up our reputation after all. [Tennessean] Between Bigfoot, [...]
Happy Hour: Hasta La Vista, Baby!
Okay, for real this time–English First will not be on the ballot in November. As it were, the Davidson County Election Commission has proven that it’s capable of doing something other than losing our Social Security numbers and voted down the measure today 3-2. [WTVF] A big computer glitch with the FAA delayed at least [...]
Bright & Early: Going Batty Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We knew the Sounds were having a bad season, but we didn’t realize it was on track to be the worst one in franchise history. With just 14 games left in the season, they’re going to have to pull off 10 wins if they want to dodge that milestone. We’ve always been [...]
Bright & Early: Waterworld Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We hear the folks in Franklin are running out of water. Turns out that while Georgia was down there distracting us with horrific tales of Bigfoot sightings, they were also making mad dashes across the border and carting our water out by the bucket. Okay, maybe not. Officials are actually saying that [...]
