Bright & Early: Fish Out Of Water Edition
Good morning, Nashville.

Good morning, Nashville. News Channel 5′s investigative team continues to dig up dirt on Davidson County Clerk John Arriola (whose last name, by the way, is one of our least favorite things to type in a news item each day), this time bringing to light the taxpayer-funded $33,000 Chevy Tahoe he drives instead of the more [...]

Bright & Early: Eat Out For Nashville Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Despite the economy swirling down the proverbial toilet in the past few years, Nashville’s restaurants have been doing remarkably well–better, in fact, than most other cities in the country. While the rest of America saw a net restaurant loss of 1%, we actually had a net gain of 0.5%. So, go us! [...]
