Bright & Early: Peep Peep Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Several Metro Schools staff members made a colorful appearance at last night’s School Board meeting to let everyone know just how excited they are about their hours, jobs, and incomes being cut. Last week, the board proposed a new budget for next year that would cut 665 jobs and shave one hour [...]
Happy Hour: Tonight’s The Night
We heard there was a Titans game tonight or something? [WKRN]
(And in case that’s the reason you’re skipping out on Twestival Nashville, don’t do it! The Big Bang will have it up on the big screen for us.)
If you happened to see some helicopters carrying giant slings of uprooted marijuana plants up near the Kentucky [...]
Bright & Early: Insufficient Funds Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Imagine going to the bank to cash your paycheck only to find out that your employer is flat broke.

What you see above is a TDOT traffic map with no “Incident” marker at exit 216, which is something we haven’t seen since [...]
Bright & Early: Some Cheese With That Whine Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Things are looking good for the the wine-in-grocery-store bills that are currently making their way through the TN legislature. Representatives of the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission have said that they could definitely handle the oversight and financial burden of adding anywhere from 1,000 to 6,000 new licensed stores, which would force them [...]
Bright & Early: The White Stuff Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We hope you’re enjoying a day at home with the kiddos, but if you’re like us, you probably had to go into work anyway. Looks pretty out the window though, right? While forecasters originally predicted 1-2 inches of snow, it seems this storm is only going to last long enough to disrupt [...]
