Bright & Early: The Only Thing To Fear Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Williamson County Schools have figured out at least one way to deal with the new law that allows guns in public parks starting September 1: Canceling the students’ field trips. When the law goes into effect next month, the school system will be canceling every educational trip and sporting event that takes [...]
Happy Hour: Things Fall Apart
Hope y’all enjoyed all that sunshine today (ha, ha, ha) because the storms are pushing back into town tomorrow. [Nashville WX] A bill that would’ve changed our gas tax from a per-gallon to a percentage that rises and falls with the price of gas was ditched in a House committee today. [WZTV] Speaking of WZTV, [...]
Happy Hour: For The Love
Hope everyone loves Al Gore because we’ll soon have a Giant Al Gore Statue outside of the state capitol building. Good news is, at least it’s not Elvis and we’re not paying for it. [Post Politics] Lipscomb University just opened a center for alumni and unemployed professionals to help them navigate the job market, network, [...]
Bright & Early: Badvertising Edition
Good morning, Nashville. As they say, desperate times call for desperate measures. With Metro schools now looking at being about $16 million in the hole, they’re taking a look at some creative ways to bring in the dough–the latest of which is selling advertising space on Metro school buses. It’s already legal to sell black [...]
Bright & Early: Setting Up Camp Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It’s been a while since we heard anything about Tent City, Nashville’s largest homeless encampment off of Hermitage Avenue downtown. Last we heard Tent City residents were being shipped out to local shelters and hotels (one of which exploded and collapsed), but it looks like things are starting to heat up again [...]
Bright & Early: Wave Of The Future Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We thought we’d seen it all, but now we’re getting solar-powered trash cans to cut down on the amount of times our trash needs to be emptied by the city in hopes of saving some cash. Weirdly enough, Lipscomb University has been on the forefront of this as the first testing site, [...]
Bright & Early: Save Our Schools Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’ve been seeing the story pop up here and there for a while, but looks like Mayor Dean actually is bracing himself to take over Metro Nashville Public Schools, which the state may very well ask him to do if the schools don’t meet federal benchmarks. Yesterday, he took off to New [...]
Bright & Early: Cats And Dogs Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It’s a wet one out there today and we couldn’t be happier. It looks like we could get as much as 3 inches of rain over the next couple of days from the rogue tropical storm Fay plowing through the southeast. Also, we want to give a very special shout-out to all [...]
