Bright & Early: Meep Meep Edition

Good morning, Nashville. We hope you enjoyed your long weekend as much as we did, and if you’re not one of the 45,500 people who gathered around the giant U2 space ship on Saturday, you can read all about it over at the Tennessean. Or maybe you were one of the 125,000 people who headed [...]

Happy Hour: Counting With Both Hands

Get your live election results here when the polls start closing around 8pm/7pm CST. [Tennessean] An MTSU professor drove his water-powered car from Bristol to Memphis yesterday. The vehicle runs on tap water and solar power and can go 400 miles before refueling. [WSMV] Aspiring teachers will soon have to have videos of their classrooms [...]

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 [...]

Happy Hour: Expanding The Empire

Welcome to Davidson County, Lakewood? Even if you did only decide to join us by one vote. [WSMV] And we thought we’d have an answer by now, but the Yarbro-Henry Senate primary is still too close to call. At last count, Douglas Henry was winning by three votes. [WKRN] The emergency dispatcher responsible for waiting [...]

Bright & Early: Wake Us When It’s Over Edition

Good morning, Nashville. Tennessee has managed to make quite a spectacle of itself in the past few weeks with our strange array of fringe gubernatorial candidates and controversial statements from the not-so-fringe ones, but we’re here to tell you that at least this leg of the journey will be over soon. You have today and [...]

Bright & Early: Look Out Below Edition

Good morning, Nashville. Unless you’ve lived under a rock for the past couple of years, most of us have a pretty good idea of how difficult the job market has been. The summer job market has also been hit pretty hard by the recession, since a lot of professional adults have had to clamor for [...]

Bright & Early: The Best Policy Edition

Good morning, Nashville. State officials are starting to uncover cases of fraud related to flood assistance where people were collecting emergency food stamps and cash assistance when their houses or apartments never actually flooded. Since the pool of available assistance is stretched already, the fraud is hurtful enough that DHS is pulling out all the [...]

Happy Hour: Yes, We’re Still Giggling About The Tree

We asked our Twitter friends for some artistic renderings of the Great Christmas Tree Incident of ’09 and they delivered. The above piece was submitted by Twitterers @the_beer_snob and @tndotcom, and you can see a few of our other favorites by @missbethd, @thomasruns, @justwinston, @tarajackson and @freakyweasel. Keep ‘em coming! The Christmas tree wasn’t the [...]

Bright & (Not So) Early: Poor Planning Edition

Good morning, Nashville. Just when we thought things with the convention center couldn’t get any more dramatic, News Channel 5 uncovered another contract that blew the budget out of the water. A consultant hired to help out with the hotel portion of the project was originally capped at $104,500, but then MDHA removed the cap [...]

Photo Of The Day: September 4, 2008
