Chuy’s Bringing Elvis & Tex Mex To Cool Springs [Comings & Goings]
We weren’t familiar with Chuy’s until being introduced to a Facebook group of rabid Middle Tennessee fans desperate for the Tex-Mex chain to open its doors here in Nashville. Something about Elvis… and enchiladas? Anyway, Chuy’s has signed a lease in Cool Springs in what used to be the old Beethoven’s Grille (near Mallory & [...]
Bright & Early: Kids These Days Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Change is coming to the downtown branch of the Nashville Public Library in February. For some reason they’ve decided that opening a “Teen Wing” with a Wii and four giant plasma TVs in the middle of a library is a good idea. They say they’re doing it to encourage teens to start [...]
This Weekend: Great Nashville Duck Race
There’s nothing better than watching thousands of rubber ducks getting dumped into the Cumberland River and then “racing” for prizes, right? We love the Great Nashville Duck Race because it’s outrageously silly to watch, everyone can participate and it’s for a good cause. Just adopt a rubber duck for $5 and the proceeds go to The [...]
Bright & Early: Watch Where You Step Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Been to the Shelby Street pedestrian bridge lately? Apparently it smells like urine, vomit, and alcohol. Where do we sign up? And in case you missed it, WSMV has been kind enough to supply us with some close-up pictures of these alleged “nasty spots,” which we’re guessing are Photoshopped. Wait, what’s that [...]
Happy Hour: Ars Gratia Artis Edition
It’s no secret that Fisk University has been in a tough financial situation for a while, but the state attorney general ruled today that they should at least be able to keep their Georgia O’Keeffe collection, which they thought they’d have to fork over to the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in New Mexico. And by “keep,” [...]
Bright & Early: Nature’s Fury Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We hope you’re at home enjoying the day off like we are here at the Nashvillest HQ. While we’re sleeping in late and firing up the grill this afternoon, we’ll be bringing you a few posts throughout the day. But don’t worry–we’ll be back in full force tomorrow. In the mean time, [...]
This Weekend: Franklin Jazz Festival
The 19th annual Franklin Jazz Festival kicks off tomorrow in downtown Franklin (their website is slightly reminiscent of Jazzercise, but we guess that counts). From 5pm-10pm on Saturday and Sunday, enjoy “cool jazz, mouth-watering food and refreshing drinks” in the square, and help raise support for the Epilepsy Foundation Middle & West Tennessee. Admission is [...]
Bright & Early: Booze It And Lose It Edition
Good morning, Nashville. According to Metro police, one in four clerks in Middle Tennessee will sell alcohol to underage kids. In an effort to get those numbers down, they’ve been visiting stores all over the region to test vendors by sending a 19-year old inside to try to purchase some booze. Those who break the [...]
Bright & Early: Save The Bladderpods Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Here in Middle Tennessee, we have some weird quirks that set us apart from the other two-thirds of the state, ranging from our amphibian diversity to that big Parthenon thing. We learned this morning that there’s also a rare plant that grows here and can’t be found anywhere else in the world–and [...]
Happy Hour: These Boots Edition
First and foremost, the most important news of the day: Jessica Simpson’s new country single is now up on the internet for your listening pleasure. The consensus here at Nashvillest is that it sounds exactly like some other song we can’t think of, but maybe you can help us figure it out. [WTVF]
