Bright & Early: Won’t You Be His Neighbor Edition
Good morning, Nashville, and happy Friday! Your morning headlines: John Rich would like you to consider being his neighbor! Yes, really.

Bright & Early: End Of The World Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Parts of Nashville took quite the beating last night after a line of storms moved into the area just before dawn.

Happy Hour: Some Children Left Behind
Welp, the report cards are out and Metro failed to make Adequate Yearly Progress under No Child Left Behind. But! But. They were granted a special natural disaster waiver because of the flood and won’t face any major consequences. [City Paper] Williamson County Schools, however, did swimmingly as usual. [Tennessean] The other tidbit to come [...]
Bright & Early: Highly Suspicious Edition

Bright & Early: Beer, Barbecue And Blowing Things Up Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We hope that all of you had a safe and long weekend and that none of you partook in activities like these. Speaking of things like that, Nashville area hospitals treated more than 50 folks for fireworks-related injuries over the weekend, many of which resulted from “people playing games, firing them at [...]
Bright & Early: Slow And Steady Wins The Race Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Although our water situation here has been bad (Williamson folks, you’re off the hook), at least we’re not Montgomery County. Because their sewage treatment plant has been out of commission since the flood, every time they flush a toilet, the untreated waste goes straight into the Cumberland. We would like to also point out [...]
Bright & Early: A City Of Hope Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’re now a little over a week past the flooding and it’s pretty unbelievable how far the city has come in just one week.
