Bright & Early: That’s “Dr. Parton” To You Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Sure, there’s the pig flu still running rampant and lots more rain in the forecast and GM trying to bum $9 billion more from the feds, but the biggest news of the day is obviously that Dolly Parton is finally getting her honorary doctorate from UT-Knoxville this morning. The doctorate in humane [...]
Photo Of The Day: March 24, 2009
Photographer Mike_tn says, “[T]ravelers, drifters, not sure, hung outdoors here a good part of the day in the city. I see votive candles and a bible on the benches. What’s in the cups?” We’ll probably never know, but we sure love the perspective of this shot.

Pick O’ The Night: Our Homeless Get Crafty
It’s not exactly the Frist, but this is definitely an art show you won’t want to miss. The Campus for Human Development’s Room In The Inn program and Belmont University are coming together to show the community a different side of Nashville’s homeless population by showing off some of their original artwork at Belmont’s Leu [...]
Brrrr: Nashville Rescue Mission Needs Your Help
Hey Nashville, it’s COLD. We know this because kids even weaseled their way out of school because of the cold today. Now think about how cold it would be if you were homeless, and especially if you didn’t have a warm coat, or some gloves and a hat. The Nashville Rescue Mission is especially in [...]
Bright & Early: Setting Up Camp Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It’s been a while since we heard anything about Tent City, Nashville’s largest homeless encampment off of Hermitage Avenue downtown. Last we heard Tent City residents were being shipped out to local shelters and hotels (one of which exploded and collapsed), but it looks like things are starting to heat up again [...]
Bright & Early: Could Be Worse? Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We think it’s safe to say that Preds captain Jason Arnott is having kind of a rough year. After a hefty collision in the first period of last night’s game, he had to be carted off the ice on a backboard to be checked out at the Vandy Medical Center. This comes [...]
Bright & Early: House Hunters Edition
Good morning, Nashville. City officials have been working on finding housing for the folks in Tent City after repeatedly pushing back the deadline for shutting it down. They’ve put 10 of them up in a hotel on Murfreesboro Road while they try to work out public housing, but several more are still waiting. We’re surprised [...]
Today’s Agenda: Nashville’s Homeless Rally To Save Tent City
To say that affordable housing is a big issue for Nashville would be an understatement. Recent years have seen unprecedented growth in high-end condo development, gentrification of many of the older neighborhoods and housing projects near downtown, and record numbers of Nashvillians ending up on the streets.
Tent City is a homeless encampment off of Hermitage [...]
Photo Of The Day: October 8, 2008
We can joke a lot about the world melting down along with the stock market, but in a struggling economy, we’re probably going to be seeing more scenes like this one captured by jlynn3187.
