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: While You Were Sleeping Edition

Good morning, Nashville. While most of us slept, we were under severe thunderstorm & tornado watches for the majority of the night. Surprise! Of course, that’s no surprise to you if you were A) Awakened by the crazy weather or B) Late to work because your alarm didn’t go off because you’re one of the [...]

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, [...]

Happy Hour: Failure Pile In A Sadness Bowl

We wish we were kidding right now, but you know that house stuck under the overpass on I-40? It’s still there. Due to some complications with removing it, the estimated clearing time has been bumped up for the umpteenth time to 3am. The right lane of westbound I-40 is currently blocked, and the rest of [...]

Bright & Early: A House Is Not A Home Edition

Good morning, Nashville. We’ve been watching in amazement for nearly 24 hours as the folks at TDOT try to clear up an unusual problem on I-40: A flatbed truck carrying (we think) a mobile home got wedged underneath the Elm Hill Pike overpass yesterday afternoon at 1:40pm. Originally it was set to be cleared out [...]

Bright & Early: We <3 Earth Edition

Good morning, Nashville. In honor of Earth Day, Governor Phil will be test driving one of those newfangled zero emission electric cars by Nissan. Joining him are some top officials from everyone’s favorite earth-loving entity, the TVA. We’re pretty honored that these folks were able to take a break from dodging lawsuits, spreading respiratory infections, [...]

Bright & Early: No Cars Go Edition

Good morning, Nashville. Cars seem to be the name of the game this morning with GM looking to cut the Hummer brand (proving that there is a God) & phase out Saturns within the next few months. And as happy as we would be to never see a Hummer again in our lives, this means [...]

Bright & Early: Pink Slip Thursday Edition

Good morning, Nashville. This is how we hate to start the morning, but layoff news just keeps rolling in. This time, we’ve come full circle to another round of state job cuts. You might remember the first round of buyouts and layoffs back in June where about 2,300 state employees lost their jobs, and this [...]

Bright & Early: We’ve Got High Hopes Edition

Good morning, Nashville. Governor Phil thinks Tennessee has great potential to become the next Silicon Valley–of green companies? You can’t blame us for being just a little bit skeptical, but the governor has been working hard to encourage businesses to use Energy Star-rated appliances, draw some alternative energy producers to the state, and figure out [...]

Bright & Early: Sign Of The Times Edition

Good morning, Nashville. Like the rest of the country, we’ve been hit hard by home foreclosures in the past few months as a result of the tanking economy. With over 3,000 foreclosed houses in the Metro Nashville area, we’ve started to notice that some of them are rotting, overgrown, and downright nasty. But the good [...]
