Bright & Early: Here Here Edition

Good morning, Nashville! We’re running behind, this is going to be quick, you know the drill, etc. Even though we mistakenly said that Project Homeless Connect was happening yesterday and no one bothered to correct us, it’s actually happening today. And by the looks of the Twitters, it’s going rather well! Thanks to all of [...]

Happy Hour: After The Storm

All things considered, we made out slightly better than the rest of the country in the storm department this afternoon. Here are some scary pictures from around the midstate, though. [WKRN] If you’ve noticed the new artwork popping up around the Music City Center construction site, you can thank the kids from the Oasis Center [...]

Happy Hour: The Climb

To commemorate the anniversary of 9/11, several hundred firefighters from at least nine states will be gathering in Nashville to climb the Pinnacle stairs four times in remembrance of what firefighters had to do on September 11, 2001. The climb totals 110 flights of stairs, which is the equivalent of the stairs inside the World [...]

Bright & Early: Practice Makes Perfect Edition

Good morning, Nashville. It’s feeling a little toasty outside, isn’t it? Well, more like someone cranked the oven to “broil.” Yes, it’s summer, and yes, it always gets hot, but temperatures are supposed to reach a record high today with the heat index spiking to 110, which is definitely hot enough to be dangerous. Metro [...]

Bright & Early: Food For Thought Edition

Good morning, Nashville. If you’ve ever enjoyed a hot dog, popcorn or even a beer at a Titans or Preds game, it might be worth knowing that 62% of LP Field food vendors and 59% of Bridgestone Arena food vendors had major health violations according to a recent inspection. Vendors at both facilities were found [...]

Happy Hour: You Can’t Touch This

The Sommet Group–the very company who put the “Sommet” in the Nashville Gaylord Sommet Bridgestone Entertainment Center Arena–was raided by the FBI and the IRS today out at their Cool Springs office. Apparently they made quite the scene. [WTVF] For those playing along at home, Tennessee has issued exactly 19 texting-while-driving citations for the entire [...]

Bright & Early: The Price We Pay Edition

Good morning, Nashville. Happy Tax Day! Tea Partiers will be hanging out at the Municipal Auditorium for the better part of today to hear Rep. Susan Lynn, Rep. Mae Beavers, Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey, Rep. Glen Casada and radio host Phil Valentine speak out against taxes and irresponsible government spending. They’ve also planned a 3pm [...]

Bright & Early: Much Ado Edition

Good morning, Nashville. The Tennessee House and Senate both passed resolutions yesterday opposing the new federal health care program. The House version, sponsored by Rep. Susan Lynn and debated for two full hours, asked Congress not to pass the overhaul which actually passed several weeks ago. Rep. John DeBerry bowed out of the vote, choosing [...]

Bright & Early: Rockin’ The Vote Edition

Good morning, Nashville. This weekend, Nashville will be one of the nine polling places for the Iraqi parliamentary election. Because Nashville has the largest Kurdish populations in the United States, we were chosen to host one of the polling sites and Iraqi nationals will be traveling into town from all over the southeastern US to [...]

Bright & Early: Waking Up In The Tundra Edition

Good morning, Nashville. We’re not quite sure which is more bewildering to us this morning: That white stuff falling from the sky or the 13-degree reading on the thermometer. Or maybe it’s the 200 crazies brave folks who hopped into the Percy Priest Lake on New Years Day as part of the YMCA’s annual Percy [...]
