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 [...]
Happy Hour: Nashville Rising
Tonight is the night of that gigantic flood benefit concert at Bridgestone! Miley and Taylor and Tim McGraw and Faith Hill and Jason Aldean and Miranda Lambert and about a billion other country artists will be playing for a sold-out crowd. And if you see scalpers selling extra tickets, please don’t support ‘em. It’s a [...]
Bright & Early: Oh No, Oh My Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’ve all been enjoying the gorgeous weather in the past few days, especially the explosion of color and foliage that happened seemingly overnight.

This sentiment isn’t sitting well with members of the Metro Arts [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
