Happy Hour: Not Out Of The Woods
Tomorrow is another snow day for the Davidson County school kids, those lucky ducks. [WSMV]
But it isn’t without cause as the roads are still pretty treacherous in spots and the slush is expected to re-freeze tonight. [WSMV]
Case in point: An SUV slid on the slush that’s still on the side of I-40 near the airport [...]
Bright & Early: Middle Ground Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The Metro Transit Association has narrowly avoided a potentially disastrous bus strike after reaching an agreement with Nashville bus drivers. In recent weeks, drivers have been threatening to strike over a change in contract that would allow MTA to fire them after eight unplanned absences. They initially implemented this rule because they [...]
Bright & Early: Water Water Everywhere Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We thought that we had put the whole water main break fiasco behind us last week, but then five more of them broke on Lower Broad over the weekend and flooded our main drag. Most businesses along Broadway from 4th Ave. to the riverfront were left without water for the weekend and [...]
Bright & Early: Watch Where You Step Edition
Good morning, Nashville.

Since January 2004, about 1,600 pedestrians have been hit by cars [...]

We might cry ourselves to sleep tonight. [Nashville Craigslist]
Ford Motor Company is offering up [...]

For [...]
Music City Star: (Hopefully) Back On Track
Will the Music City Star be able to hold up to the demands of tonight’s Christmas festivities downtown? MTA seems to think so. After this year’s 4th of July fiasco, no one wants to see the Music City Star fail again. They’ll have all seven of the Music City Star cars running tonight, with busses on [...]
