Happy Hour: Hungry Yet?
The Nashville Rescue Mission is looking for turkey donations for its annual Thanksgiving dinner, so if you’ve got an extra or you’re feeling generous enough to buy them one, you know what to do. [WKRN]

Bright & Early: Just Another Manic Monday Edition
Good morning, Nashville. So this weekend wasn’t quite as relaxing as we’d hoped, but somehow despite the craziness of Steve McNair’s death, our souvenir sunburns from the Hot Chicken Festival, and The Great Fireworks Monsoon of ‘09, we’ve still rolled into Monday morning in once piece. As of this morning, developments in the McNair case [...]
Bright & Early: The Recession Lives On Edition
Good morning, Nashville. As part of a last-ditch effort to salvage some jobs within Metro, the city council will be going back over some budget revisions tonight that will hopefully save 17 positions. In order to come up with the extra money, the proposed amendments would shave off some funds from the Convention & Visitors [...]
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.

So let’s lighten things up with a cute video/slideshow/thing about Metro students covering the town [...]
Bright & Early: What Is Your Emergency Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Hopefully none of you had any life-threatening emergencies yesterday morning because the city’s 911 call center accidentally went offline. Supposedly, AT&T was simply following their work order when they cut every single phone line to the 911 center, but the result rendered emergency services unreachable for about 30 minutes. Though the dispatchers [...]
Bright & Early: Yes They Can Edition
Good morning, Nashville. MTSU folks were busy this weekend protesting the Board of Regents’ bright idea to save money by charging tuition by the class instead of by the semester. The students, who organized a coalition called Save Our Schools around the effort, say that what might save money for the school and the state [...]
Bright & Early: Something To Brag About Edition
Good morning, Nashville. What better way to start the week than to brag about our Titans a little bit? Over the weekend, the guys defeated the Cleveland Browns 28-9 to claim the AFC South title and become the first team in the NFL to clinch the division championship this season. We can’t be sure, but we [...]
