Happy Hour: See Spot Run
There’s apparently a new Nashville reality show in the works called “NashVegas” which promises to be some sort of mixture between Entourage and American Idol. And though this sounds like a bit of a disaster, we’ll probably be tuning in should it ever see the light of day. [WSMV] Speaking of television disasters, everyone’s favorite [...]
Bright & Early: Buy In, Buy Out Edition
Good morning, Nashville. One of the hardest-hit areas during the flood was Riverbend Plantation in Bellevue, and residents are understandably upset that they didn’t qualify for Metro’s first round of buyouts. With some of the rebuilding costs reaching upwards of $50,000, these folks still managed to fall short of the stipulations for the program, which [...]
Happy Hour: Common Trouble
A study by the Brookings Institution found that poverty in Nashville is growing at a rate about five times that of the national average. [City Paper] Oh yes, and we forgot to talk about the old-convention-center-soon-to-be-turned-medical-mart this morning. [WKRN] Titans center Kevin Mawae traveled to DC to speak before Congress today about some labor disputes [...]
Bright & Early: All Is Fair Edition
Good morning, Nashville. There may be hope yet for the Tennessee State Fair thanks to some new proposals by everyone’s favorite Metro Councilman Eric Crafton. Councilman Crafton has drafted a resolution that would extend the life of the fair through 2010, giving advocates more time to come up with a way to save it. The [...]
Happy Hour: In Which We Watch The Ravens Crash & Burn
The City Paper gives us a few hints about what we should watch out for in tomorrow’s showdown. [City Paper] And speaking of the Titans, Kevin Mawae is definitely a no-go for Saturday’s showdown. [WTVF] The TVA spill we’ve been keeping an eye on all day was actually not the second one, but the third. [...]
Happy Hour: Lead Toys No More
You may have forgotten about the Chinese Poison Train of Long Long Ago (okay, so it was only 2007) when the Chinese were found to be exporting lead-tainted toys through Mattel. Tennessee was one of 36 states to investigate Mattel and today we got $239K out of a settlement agreement. Gotta make our money somewhere, [...]
Happy Hour: Lies, Lies, Lies
We were about to tell you that the Tennessean lied to us today when they told us we wouldn’t see any snow accumulation, but then we realized they did that whole thing where they switch out the story after they realize it’s inaccurate. As of now, the Nashvillest HQ is blanketed in white. [Tennessean] Someone [...]
