Happy Hour: Jump Off That Sofa
Metro is trying their absolute best to drum up support for the new convention center by, well, taking possession of the Sommet Center parking lot and blocking it off during tonight’s Black Eyed Peas show, resulting in the kind of apocalyptic overflow of parked cars that can only be caused by a crowd of 10,000 [...]
Bright & Early: It All Falls Down Edition
Good morning, Nashville. By the time you read this, the demolition of the Nashville Autohaus and several other buildings near the 7th and Shirley intersection will probably be underway (but not Rocketown just yet!)

Bright & Early: Slow Clap For TDOT Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We have a Very Important Announcement to make: The mobile home has been cleared from I-40, finally, approximately 36 hours after getting wedged under the Elm Hill Pike overpass. What you see above is a TDOT traffic map with no “Incident” marker at exit 216, which is something we haven’t seen since [...]
Happy Hour: Failure Pile In A Sadness Bowl
We wish we were kidding right now, but you know that house stuck under the overpass on I-40? It’s still there. Due to some complications with removing it, the estimated clearing time has been bumped up for the umpteenth time to 3am. The right lane of westbound I-40 is currently blocked, and the rest of [...]
