Bright & Early: One More Day Edition
Good morning, Nashville. After months and months of nonstop campaigning, I think we can all agree that we’re suffering from election fatigue.

Bright & Early: D-Day Edition

CMT and Tyson Foods donated 30,000 pounds of fried chicken to Second Harvest Food Bank. 30,000 POUNDS. OF FRIED CHICKEN. But with all the talk of a Tyson boycott, it’s a small wonder they can even give that stuff away. [WTVF]

Belmont’s Debate ‘08 Neighborhood Impact [Road Closures]
We’ve finally unearthed a map of the road closures announced for next Tuesday’s debate and so far it looks like the damage is pretty minimal, though we’re predicting that more closures will be announced as we get closer to the debate.
