Bright & Early: Slow And Steady Wins The Race Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Although our water situation here has been bad (Williamson folks, you’re off the hook), at least we’re not Montgomery County.

We would like to also point out [...]

Bright & Early: Rockin’ The Vote Edition
Good morning, Nashville. This weekend, Nashville will be one of the nine polling places for the Iraqi parliamentary election.

Happy Hour: Getting Our Goat
