Bright & Early: Helping Hand Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The North American Street Newspaper Association’s annual convention is being held in Nashville this weekend. Staff from street papers similar to Nashville’s own The Contributor will gather to discuss strategies, learn from each other and celebrate successes – like Nashville. The Contributor, just 4 years old, is the most successful street paper in [...]
Bright & Early: Winning! Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It was a good weekend in the local football realm, as Vanderbilt continued their winning streak with a 30-7 victory over Mississippi, and the Titans landed a 26-13 win over the Ravens despite mediocre-at-best performance from one certain highly-paid running back who missed all of this year’s training camp and preseason. Cough, [...]
Get ‘Em While They’re Hot: Free Preds Preseason Tickets [Freebies]
Penny-pinching Preds fans, we’ve got something for you.

Bright & Early: Enforcer Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Here’s your morning news: Former Preds defenseman and forward Wade Belak was found dead in a Toronto hotel room yesterday, and though the cause of death hasn’t been confirmed, many media outlets are reporting that it was a suicide.

Bright & Early: Ppppttthhhhhhbbbbbttt Edition
Good morning, Nashville. News Channel 5′s investigative team continues to dig up dirt on Davidson County Clerk John Arriola (whose last name, by the way, is one of our least favorite things to type in a news item each day), this time bringing to light the taxpayer-funded $33,000 Chevy Tahoe he drives instead of the more [...]
Bright & Early: Flash Bang Boom Edition
Good morning, Nashville. News Channel 5′s investigative team found that County Clerk John Arriola has been charging a $40 fee for his employees to perform weddings, and then pocketing the cash. Though the state allows employees to collect gratuities in this situation–and Arriola insists that the $40 charge is just that–NC5′s team found that it wasn’t necessarily [...]
Bright & Early: Rattle And Hum Edition
Good morning, Nashville. So how about that storm last night? Even the hard sleepers among us likely heard all the racket caused by a string of severe storms that ripped through town last night, bringing some dangerous lightning, 60 mph winds and power outages with it. Though the worst of it is probably behind us, [...]
Bright & Early: No Cars Go Edition
Good morning, Nashville. In news that will likely be shocking to no one, a new report by Transportation for America has ranked Nashville as the fourth worst Metro area for public transportation. The report specifically zeroed in on the fact that as baby boomers get older, 85% of Nashville’s seniors won’t have access to any [...]
Bright & Early: Strike Three Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It was another rough night for us in the storm department, and more than 16,900 customers are still without power this morning according to NES. Yet another storm system plowed through the state overnight carrying some nasty straight line winds, a few tornado scares and a whole lot of lightning with it. [...]
Bright & Early: Preds Nation Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’re a little brokenhearted this morning over the Preds’ loss to Vancouver in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals last night, ending their glorious playoff run for 2011. The Preds fell 2-1 to the Canucks at Bridgestone last night after one of the hardest-fought series we’ve ever seen, and though we’re [...]
