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: Stay In Shape Edition
Good morning, Nashville. With football season rapidly approaching, the lockout situation is getting a little more dire. Players are asking for an injunction to stop the lockout, which was instituted earlier this month, while the NFL is asking a federal judge to uphold it, as they say there’s no legal grounds to stop it. Meanwhile, [...]
Bright & Early: #turnred Edition
Good morning, Nashville, and happy December. Today is World AIDS Day, which is a day to step back and think about the ways in which we can stop the spread of HIV/AIDS in our own community and around the world, and also how we can help the folks living with the disease. As of December [...]
Bright & Early: They’re Back Edition
Good morning, Nashville. That magical time of the year we call Football Season is upon us and the Titans kicked it off less-than-awesomely in Seattle on Saturday with a 20-18 loss. But! Chris Johnson seems to be picking up right where he left off last season and VY™ wasn’t looking too shabby either. Next time [...]
Happy Hour: Stop Reading This And Go Outside Please
If this does not make you crave hot chicken somethin’ awful, then you are not human (or okay, maybe you’re a vegetarian. Which is cool too.) [Tennessean] Metro Police say that the giant gang shoot-out on the northside in broad daylight yesterday just goes to show us that Nashville gangs have some real cajones and [...]
Bright & Early: Happy Birthday, Johnny Cash Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Today would have been Johnny Cash’s 78th birthday and it’s Friday (and it’s also Michael Bolton’s birthday.) So wear some black, dust off your old Cash records, drink some Beer Named Sue (later in the day, of course), and show some respect to the Man In Black who did so much to [...]
Bright & Early: Fly Away Home Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We can’t believe that it’s Monday again and we’re looking at a third straight Titans win. But do you know what else we are looking at? Oh, just this video of 86-year old Titans owner Bud Adams flipping not one, not two, but about three billion birds at the Buffalo Bills on [...]
Bright & Early: Wait-Listed Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Tennessee’s drug assistance program for people with HIV/AIDS now has a waiting list thanks to folks losing jobs and insurance, along with an increase in the number of people living with the disease. Those overseeing the program hope that their own services can be supplemented with federal programs and pharmaceutical companies. Pregnant women [...]
Happy Hour: Tonight’s The Night
We heard there was a Titans game tonight or something? [WKRN] (And in case that’s the reason you’re skipping out on Twestival Nashville, don’t do it! The Big Bang will have it up on the big screen for us.) If you happened to see some helicopters carrying giant slings of uprooted marijuana plants up near [...]
Bright & Early: The Buck Stops There Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Just a few days after News Channel 5 blasted Metro for some outrageous spending on convention center PR, Mayor Dean put his foot down. An investigative report revealed that Metro had shelled out about six times the amount that was in the original contract with local PR firm McNeely Pigott & Fox, [...]
