Bright & Early: Pop And Lock Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The Titans shuffled onto the practice field last night, opening Sunday’s festivities up to the public and giving us a small taste of the 2011 season that almost wasn’t. Rookie QB Jake Locker had one of his first chances to show fans that he has what it takes–or at least that he’s less [...]
Bright & Early: Blast From The Past Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Everyone in Tennessee (and probably most people outside of Tennessee, by now) knows that there are some unfortunate things that go down at our state’s Legislative Plaza. However, we did not realize that the actual plaza and War Memorial Building aren’t even ADA-compliant. Despite completing some hefty renovations within the past five [...]
Bright & Early: Sweat It Out Edition
Good morning, Nashville. At what point does a heat wave stop being a heat wave and just become that thing we know as a Tennessee Summer?

Bright & Early: Open The Gates And Seize The Day Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Bonnaroo officials are hoping to alleviate at least some of the traffic woes that have kept some festival attendees from waiting 11 or so hours to get through the gates and backing things up on I-24. Gates will open a little earlier than usual–7pm on Wednesday–to get attendees into the campgrounds faster. [...]
Bright & Early: Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The TVA is starting up a new program in April to sell electricity to distributors at rates that vary throughout the day, meaning that once NES adopts the system, we could pay higher rates around peak hours during the day and lower rates at night. This system is intended to encourage us [...]
Happy Hour: It’s All A Blur
Students at Thurgood Marshall Middle, Andrew Jackson Elementary and AZ Kelley Elementary had a very hot first full day back after some pop-up storms took out their A/C overnight. [WKRN] The Davidson County Election Commission found another voting machine that hadn’t been tallied and now Douglas Henry only leads Jeff Yarbro by 11 votes. As [...]
Bright & Early: They’re Back Edition
Good morning, Nashville. That magical time of the year we call Football Season is upon us and the Titans kicked it off less-than-awesomely in Seattle on Saturday with a 20-18 loss. But! Chris Johnson seems to be picking up right where he left off last season and VY™ wasn’t looking too shabby either. Next time [...]
Bright & Early: Merrily We Roll Along
Good morning, Nashville. We’re in a bit of a hurry this morning, so here is your abbreviated Bright & Early: Metro’s free bike share program kicked off this morning with a bike ride from Shelby Park to the Music City Star station. The program includes thirty bikes, helmets and locks stored at pick-up locations in [...]
