Bright & Early: Keep The Lights On Edition
Good morning, Nashville. By the looks of our Twitter feed, many of you guys started out the morning in the dark. According to NES lightning struck the Edmonson Pike substation a little after 6am, causing a widespread power outage that lasted for about an hour and affected more than 10,000 customers. Storms are expected to [...]
Happy Hour: Not So Fast
As it turns out, our one interesting news story from this morning concerning the young lady who tackled the dude who stole her wallet is not true. According to witnesses, a couple of good samaritans banded together when they heard the girl screaming and managed to get the wallet back and enough information for police [...]
Happy Hour: Nothing To See Here
A sizable chunk of downtown Nashville experienced a power outage this afternoon that lasted about two to three hours. We heard a few reports of folks stuck in elevators, but all in all it wasn’t too catastrophic. There isn’t even an exciting explanation for it other than a “failed insulator” and a blown circuit.

Bright & Early: Space Heater Appreciation Edition
Good morning, Nashville. With the frigid temperatures finally rearing their ugly heads in the past few weeks, it’s that time of year where many of us bust out the space heaters and complain about how cold it is in the office. However, the kids of Shayne Elementary School of Nolensville Road have gone without heat [...]
Bright & Early: Neighbors To The North Edition
Good morning, Nashville. As much as we’d love a snow day, we’re pretty glad we’re not part of the 500,000 folks in Tennessee and Kentucky who are stuck without power for the next few days. NES is lending a few of their workers out to Kentucky to try and get things back up and running [...]
Bright & Early: Money On The Mind Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It’s official: English First, the group behind the charter amendment that’s costing us 350,000 to put on a special ballot next week, has missed the deadline for disclosing their financial records. This means that we won’t know how much money they’ve raised or who it’s coming from until probably after the election [...]
Happy Hour: This Is When It Gets Ugly
Following the joint press conference with Mayor Dean and Gov. Bredesen this morning, Loews Vanderbilt Hotel owner and Nashville For All Of Us leader Tom Negri was nearly run over by a woman who was trying to steal an anti-English Only yard sign from outside the election commission. Police were called, but the woman was [...]
Happy Hour: Two Days To Turkeyday
After finally locating a Christmas tree for the city (though it would have been kinda cool to have the National Guard to airlift one from Mt. Juliet), NES chopped it down today despite protests from the environmentalists. The tree was 60 years old. [Tennessean]
A couple of generous Nashville celebrities kicked off the Thanksgiving season by [...]
Happy Hour: Explosions In The Sky
‘Tis the day of toxic chemicals, starting with that gas main that NES hit which spewed gas all over Whitebridge Road and Charlotte Pike. One tipster even tells us that the accident left the Vandy kids without hot water for the afternoon (h/t Jason Tan!) [WKRN]
And also that one where the tractor-trailer dumped some sort [...]
