Bright & Early: Field Of Broken Dreams Edition
Good morning, Nashville. This week is off to a hurried start, so here’s your quick sprint through the morning news: We were all scratching our heads when U2 announced a date at Vanderbilt, but it turns out that they actually approached LP Field first and were turned down. The CMApocalypse contract states that no concerts [...]
Happy Hour: Rich. Cash Rich.
Not only will John Rich soon have a spawn, but The Internet has uncovered his plan to name the kid Cash. The discovery was made after someone found the family’s gift registry with Babies R Us (which has since been removed) and it contained a note of thanks from “JOHN, JOAN & CASH” and also [...]
Happy Hour: Unlucky Day
A Franklin home went up in flames last night after being struck by lightning. Twice. [WTVF] Unless you love your henna tattoo enough to keep it forever, you may want to stay away from the Opry Mills henna kiosks. [Tennessean] A plumber is suing Nashville’s Habitat for Humanity organization after she was raped at a [...]
Hermitage Hotel Bathroom 4 Prez (Vote Now!)
There’s an important election coming up, and no, we’re not talking about the Dodson & LaLonde’s District 18 Showdown Of Doom. The Hermitage Hotel is clamoring to keep its prestigious title of “America’s Best Restroom,” which they won last August. And despite what you might have read today in every news outlet ever (thanks, AP!) [...]
Spring Starts With Free Rita’s Italian Ice [Freebies]
You may remember our excitement last year upon learning that Rita’s Italian Ice was opening relatively close to Nashville, out in good ol’ Hermitage (and coming soon to Mt. Juliet). Now, for Rita’s newbies, let us explain something. Every year, on the first day of spring, Rita’s dishes out free italian ice all day. And [...]
Cheap Tourism At Home [Almost Freebies]
If you’re like us, you’ve probably never visited half of the local touristy spots that out of town visitors flock to. We finally went to the Country Music Hall of Fame last year on Museum Day, and it was pretty cool. There’s still a bunch of places that we haven’t hit up yet, but we’ll [...]
Our Favorite Freebie Yet: Rita’s Italian Ice
Rita’s Italian Ice is one of those things we’ve missed most since moving to Nashville. We hail from Virginia, where the Italian Ice flows like water (and ironically is also known as Water Ice in select locations). A little birdie told us that two Rita’s locations were coming to the Nashville area, and although they’re [...]
Bright & Early: Final Four Edition
Good morning, Nashville. When we threw in our bid to host one of the NCAA women’s basketball Final Four many moons ago, we had no idea we actually had a shot at it. This morning, the NCAA announced that Nashville is one of the eight finalists for hosting the tournament from 2012 through 2016 and [...]
Hermitage Hotel: We Win With Our Urinals
We remember being a little taken aback when we first heard we could actually take a tour of the men’s restroom at the historic Hermitage Hotel. Why in the world would we want to do that? Well, apparently it’s in the running to be America’s Best Restroom of 2008. If you skipped the tour like [...]
