Bright & Early: Fish Out Of Water Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Here’s what’s going on around town: Governor Haslam and Amazon continue to do the will-they-won’t-they dance around the whole question over whether or not Amazon will have to charge state sales tax once they open up their planned Tennessee distribution centers. [Tennessean] The Titans want Chris Johnson so badly that they say [...]
Bright & Early: Words To Live By Editon
Good morning, Nashville. Mayor Dean announced a new study yesterday that will examine Nashville’s flood preparedness situation (or lack thereof) and hopefully come up with some ways to have it be a little less devastating the next time we experience a 1,000-year flood. State and federal agencies will team up with local ones to look [...]
Bright & Early: Someone Stole Our Sunshine Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Is it possible to veto a snow storm? Because we’ll sign whatever we need to sign to make that happen.

Legendary Nashville radio DJ Gerry House signed off for the last time this morning and everyone was very sad, including us. [WSMV] With only a few weeks left in office, Governor Phil’s official portrait was unveiled today. He is apparently staring out a window with a pair of glasses in his hand, which sounds very [...]
Happy Hour: Full Moon Is Shining
Randy Moss is a Titan now! And being the ill-informed football fans that we sometimes are, we’re not sure what this means, but it seems to be good news. Wikipedia tells us that he fake-mooned an entire stadium once, so there’s that. [City Paper] And another news item we can’t comprehend today is this bathroom [...]
Bright & Early: What A Catch Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We were excited to hear the news last week that GM has plans to rehire hundreds of the workers they laid off last November when the Spring Hill plant idled, but they’re apparently still working on a tax incentive plan from the state to actually close the deal. Governor Phil says he [...]
