Bright & Early: When We Think Tim McGraw
Good morning, Nashville. We know winter in Nashville can get a little boring, so we’re glad that Tim McGraw and Gwenyth Paltrow have decided to spice it up a bit by filming a new movie here. We have no idea what this movie will be about and we can’t imagine what sort of convoluted plot [...]
Happy Hour: Oh, This Is Rich

The Tennessean gives us a little blast from the past with a couple of slideshows, a timeline of the events as they [...]
Happy Hour: Two Days To Turkeyday

Bright & Early: Novel Ideas Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The city’s homeless population is on the rise, and along with it the downtown crime rate. Metro reports that 60% of the aggravated assaults in the downtown area involve the homeless either as perpetrators or victims, and oddly enough, shipping them out to other cities doesn’t seem to be helping. One Metro [...]
