Bright & Early: First Snow Edition
Good morning, Nashville, and happy first snow day of the year to the kiddos! Davidson, Williamson, Rutherford, Sumner and a host of other school systems in Middle Tennessee are closed for the day, making it the luckiest Friday the 13th to ever grace our state (for kids, at least). The dusting of snow we got [...]
Bright & Early: Need More Trees Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Remember that new law granting free downtown parking to hybrid owners who shell out a mere $10 for a parking sticker? Metro Councilman Charlie Tygard, who has criticized the program for being too elitist, is hoping to extend the opportunity to all Davidson County car owners–if we are willing to pay for [...]
Bright & Early: Bros Icing Bros Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Kids in Metro Schools got yet another snow day today as officials closed the place down for the second day straight while several neighboring school systems opened a few hours late.

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. 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 [...]
Happy Hour: The Big Ten
Tennessee’s unemployment ended up being 9.9% for the month of April, which means we’re a mere tenth of a percentage point away from 10! Compare ot last year’s April unemployment rate of 6%. We’re getting depressed just thinking about it. [WSMV] So let’s lighten things up with a cute video/slideshow/thing about Metro students covering the [...]
