If you’ve been following us for a while, you know that we at Nashvillest can never resist a good piece of John Rich news.

Author: Christy Frink

Good morning, Nashville. Whether we’re ready for summer or not, it’ll be making its way into town today and bringing some 80-degree weather along with it.

Good morning, Nashville. So today’s the day, huh? We’re having a tough time tearing ourselves away from the inauguration coverage long enough to peruse the local headlines, so we’re going to keep it short this morning. Happy Inauguration Day!

Remember that Nashvillian artist who used 50,000 crayons to make a portrait of Barack Obama? Now he gets to go to the inauguration and we’re way jealous because we didn’t think of a crayon portrait first! [Tennessean] Rep.

Author: Christy Frink

Good morning, Nashville. So Tim McGraw, Michael W. Smith, and the Jonas Brothers walked into a bar… Sounds like the start of a bad joke, doesn’t it? It’s actually not too far from what happened last night–except instead of a bar, it was the Ryman Auditorium. The Jonas Brothers performed to a sold-out crowd alongside [...]

Happy Hour: It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

30 July 2008 | 5:34 pm
Author: Christy Frink

We think it’s a little excessive that the Opryland Hotel started stringing Christmas lights today, but who wouldn’t get excited with all those exclamation points? If only it were actually snowing. [WTVF] Also excessive was this afternoon’s big ribbon cutting ceremony for the new security check-point at the Nashville International Airport, attended by Mayor Dean. [...]
