Happy Hour: Sunny Side Up

We do a lot of hating on the TVA around here, but we’ve got nothing but love for the 200 care packages they put together for troops in Afghanistan. [WSMV]
And also, they bought some new wind(-energy). [WPLN]
It’s been so long that we almost forgot what it was like, but a large chunk of westbound I-440 [...]

Bright & (Not So) Early: Ars Gratia Artis Edition

Good morning, Nashville, and happy almost Turkey Day! This morning, we’re giving thanks for our city’s public art, which Councilman Charlie Tygard has declared that he would like to spread around to the rest of Nashville by filing an ordinance with the Metro Council. This sentiment isn’t sitting well with members of the Metro Arts [...]

Bright & Early: Christmas Creep Edition

Good morning, Nashville. The holiday season is officially here with the arrival of the Tennessee Christmas tree. The 50-foot tree made the trek from a family farm in Oak Hill to downtown this morning where crews put it into place in front of the State Capitol. If you’re able to stroll by today, you catch [...]

Happy Hour: No Shirts, No Guns, No Problem

Tennessee’s “Guns in Bars” law was ruled unconstitutionally vague this afternoon, citing the Average Joe’s difficulty of differentiating between bars and restaurants. The decision can be appealed, but the process could take up to a year. We’re also guessing that some less-vague version may pop up between now and then. [WPLN]
Hometown hero Miley Cyrus’ tour [...]

Happy Hour: In Other News

Summarizing today: NASA tried to blow up the moon, President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize, golf became an Olympic sport, Miley quit Twitter, and… it rained in Middle Tennessee. We’re so predictable. At least the time lapse video was cool. [Nashville WX]
The TVA would like to drain one of their reservoirs near Chattanooga into [...]

Bright & Early: An Apple A Day Edition

Good morning, Nashville. Several members of Congress are a little less than pleased with VA officials after yesterday’s testimony in which officials admitted that their hospitals still aren’t following proper procedures for cleaning medical equipment. You may remember that the problems were first uncovered Alvin C. York Medical Center in Murfreesboro in December 2008 and [...]

Happy Hour: A Little Bit Of Sunshine

For all the information junkies out there (and really, anyone who cares where their tax dollars are going) the State of Tennessee just launched Tennessee Open Government, which looks like a pretty great way to find out all sorts of fun stuff like salaries, travel expenses and public meeting schedules for government employees. [WZTV]
The [...]

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: You Can’t Touch This Edition

Good morning, Nashville. The deadline is quickly approaching for the TVA to claim immunity against the seven lawsuits, including four class-action suits, they’re facing for the Kingston spill. They’ve been threatening this for months, but a federal judge has finally laid down the mandate that they’ll need to file by April 17. Residents are none [...]

Even More Miley (Can You Handle This?)

Nashvillians, duck and cover – Miley Cyrus will be appearing, like, forreal, in the flesh, at the Green Hills Davis-Kidd bookstore on April 9 (which, in case you weren’t keeping track, is just a mere handful of days away). She will signing copies of her new memoir, Miles To Go, and a ticket into the [...]
