Bright & Early: Tweet Tweet Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Metro Police are continuing to investigate Wednesday night’s shooting at Centennial Park that left one juvenile with a gunshot wound to his knee. The whole thing started when a group of kids gathered near the Parthenon while Movies In The Park was going on and eventually began throwing gang signs. Metro’s Gang [...]
Bright & Early: In The Spotlight Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The story of Belmont University’s alleged decision to part ways with women’s soccer coach Lisa Howe because of her sexuality has been making the rounds to several national media outlets over the past few days, drawing fire from students, faculty, alumni and advocacy groups alike. Earlier this week, Coach Howe released her [...]
Happy Hour: Keeping Our Cool
Several organizations including Metro Action Commission are trying to get window units into the hands of as many air conditioner-less people as possible. So if you’ve got an extra one to spare, find out where you can take it. Similarly, keep an eye out for elderly friends and neighbors or anyone else without A/C who [...]
Happy Hour: See Spot Run
There’s apparently a new Nashville reality show in the works called “NashVegas” which promises to be some sort of mixture between Entourage and American Idol. And though this sounds like a bit of a disaster, we’ll probably be tuning in should it ever see the light of day. [WSMV] Speaking of television disasters, everyone’s favorite [...]

Bright & Early: The Eleventh Plague Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Not that we’re hating on Spring or anything, but we’ve almost forgotten what it’s like to go through life without a sinus headache and a pollen-colored car. This year’s plague is the worst it’s been in years for many areas including Middle Tennessee as we’ve now been sitting under a high pollen [...]
Bright & Early: Under Construction Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Last night, the Metro Council approved funding for upwards of $600 million in construction projects all around the city. Within the next few years, we’re looking at a shiny new “adventure play park” (we can’t wait to see what that is) on the riverfront, a connector road between north Nashville and West [...]
Bright & Early: Smaller World Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We were pretty intrigued when Mayor Dean mentioned a 28th Avenue connector road in his State of Metro address a few weeks back. Details are finally coming out about the new construction project which will connect 28th and 31st avenues over some railroad tracks just north of Centennial Park. The hope is [...]
Happy Hour: Booze, Snuggies & Other Miscellany
According to our Very Scientific Poll today, the people have spoken (all 62% of you) and Jack Daniels Tennessee Whiskey should be Tennessee’s official state beverage. So, um, Jack 4 State Bev! Quick, everyone start calling your legislators! Power to the people! And in the same vein of silliness, you heard it here first: We [...]
