Bright & Early: Boo! Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Happy Halloween! Well… almost. Before you go busting out your crazy costumes, the Tennessee Highway Patrol is reminding us all to be careful this weekend as Halloween is one of the most dangerous holidays for young kids and pedestrians. So drive safe or call (or text!) a cab, watch out for kiddos [...]
Bright & Early: Look To The Sky Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Some Metro Schools officials aren’t feeling extremely hopeful about the No Child Left Behind results coming their way next month. Because the school system changed its standardized testing methods, resulting in lower scores, it could have a significant impact on their NCLB standings. Things have gotten dire enough in years past with NCLB [...]
Bright & Early: Watch Where You Roll Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Local cyclists are complaining that Metro isn’t responding quickly enough to the need to replace non-bike-friendly storm drains that have caused serious accidents around the city.

Regions Free Days At Adventure Science Center [Freebies]

As it does every year, the Tennessee Board of Probation and Parole will be keeping a close eye on sex offenders to make sure that [...]

Happy Hour: When Love Strikes
Good news for the droves of people flocking to the county clerk to get married on Valentine’s Day! Since it’s on a Saturday this year, everyone was afraid they’d be closed. But fortunately they’ll be keeping their doors open, marrying folks from 9am-3pm in St. Valentine’s Chapel of Love, handing out commemorative Valentine’s Day marriage [...]
Photo Of The Day: November 18, 2008
We had a couple of Halloween stragglers in the pool, and this creepy-looking Joker was definitely one of our favorites! Thanks to mchasesteely for the submission. Photo Of The Day will be a recurring feature for Nashvillest as long you keep giving us stuff to post. Don’t worry–we’ll give you props. Just add them to [...]
