Happy Hour: Sully’s (Still) In The House
We’re hearing reports from our more hockey-savvy friends that Steve Sullivan just inked a new 2-year deal with the Preds. As you can see from his joyous tweet above, the fans aren’t the only ones excited about it. [The Twitter Tubes]
An Indiana theme park called Holiday World donated 37,000 pounds of food to Second Harvest [...]
Bright & Early: Must Love Babies Edition
Good morning, Nashville. An unemployment rate of 9.1% has left lots of folks bored and too broke to go out and do anything, which seems to us to be the only reasonable explanation for this little baby boom we’re experiencing here in Tennessee. Shelby, Davidson, and Rutherford Counties cranked out the most babies in the [...]
Bright & Early: Everybody Hates Taxes Edition
Good morning, Nashville. As much as we love our Preds, we can’t help but get a little bit bummed out when we hear that they could owe us as much as $400,000 in ticket taxes they, um, forgot to pay. Both city and team officials are still working on sorting out the mess, but it [...]
Bright & Early: Highs And Lows Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’ve gotta admit, we’re feeling pretty demoralized after Saturday’s Game Which Shall Not Be Named (the ‘Stache blames that missed delay of game call, but we’re not even sure that could have salvaged it) so we’re trying to look at the bright side–the Preds won and Steve Sullivan skated for the first [...]

They’re expecting a pretty packed house for the meeting, which starts around 6pm at [...]
Bright & Early: Could Have Been Sweeter Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Our neighbors in Mt. Juliet are looking to add some patriotic flavor to the city by way of two enormous American flags on either side of I-40 entering town. The flags would be 50 feet by 35 feet and fly from 150-foot poles to the tune of $60M, which City Manager Randy [...]
Bright & Early: Those Were The Days Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Unless you’re really, really new to town, you probably remember seeing at least one big show come through the Starwood Amphitheatre out in Antioch. We were all pretty sad to hear the news that it was shutting down last February and some did their best to save it, but the land was [...]
