Bright & Early: It’s A Cluster Edition
Good morning, Nashville. If ever there were a perfect storm of traffic congestion downtown Nashville, tonight would be the night. Road closures for the Titans’ final preseason game will start at 4:30pm, followed by the wave of folks pouring into the Bridgestone Arena for Brooks & Dunn’s last-ever show (well, until the inevitable reunion tour). [...]
Bright & Early: Keep On Singin’ Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Metro is looking at an ordinance that would throw some additional flood recovery money at Gaylord; the only catch is that it can only be used to fix the Grand Ole Opry House and not the Opryland Hotel. While the damage estimate for the hotel is about 10 times that of the [...]
Happy Hour: We Got Our Flippy-Floppies
Long live the KR Harrington water treatment plant! It’s finally back up and running, as Mayor Dean announced today, but let’s not all rush out and wash our cars and/or water our lawns and/or fill our swimming pools and/or tap the fire hydrants for fun just yet.

Hill Middle, Cameron Middle, Whites Creek Middle and the Academy at [...]
Happy Hour: Headhunters
Super-creepy tidbit of the day: The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency wants hunters across the state to save them the heads of the squirrels and rabbits they kill so they can map the species distribution statewide. They’ll even come and pick them up if you just want to toss them in the fridge or freezer for [...]
Darius Rucker To Krush Grand Ole Opry [Freebies]
Darius Rucker is headlining a show at the Opry on August 24 as part of the nationwide Samsung Summer Krush concert series, and it’s free, which is cool. But we have to wonder why we’re even writing about it. We’re pretty sure that we’ve stumbled across 11,402 free country shows in Nashville this year. So [...]
Happy Hour: School Of Rock Edition
Jack Black has been practicing his square dancing, should the occasion arise for him to perform at the Grand Ole Opry. And we quote, “I think I’ve got some hillbilly in my roots.” Yeehaw? [WSMV] 900 people were not hungover energetic enough on Thursday morning to participate in the annual New Years Resolution Run. That’s [...]
