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.

Bright & Early: Twittering No More Edition
Good morning, Nashville. If you’ve been enjoying all the live-tweeting and Facebooking by some members of the Metro Council during meetings, you can consider it a thing of the past.

Bright & (Not So) Early: Aftermath Edition
Good morning, Nashville. By now, we’re sure everyone has heard about the massive earthquake that struck Haiti yesterday.

Bright & Early: Waking Up In The Tundra Edition

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 [...]

Bright & Early: Cuddly As A Cactus Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It’s the holiday season and the sound of Christmas music fills the air downtown thanks to those giant speaker-boxes on every street corner. The extra dose of holiday flavor makes just about everyone a little more cheerful–everyone, that is, except for the state workers in the Rachel Jackson Building on Sixth and [...]
Bright & Early: The Little Tree That Couldn’t Edition
Good morning, Nashville. As we were nonchalantly scrolling through Twitter feed this morning, we stumbled across a report that the Tennessee Christmas tree had taken a small tumble in the wind. Actually, it took a big tumble and appears to be broken. Oh no! Sure, it was a tad bit lopsided and maybe lacked a [...]
