Bright & Early: Blustery Night Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We had a late night hanging out in our “safe place” as tornado warnings for Davison and Williamson county and thunderstorms with 70-80mph winds rolled through in the wee hours of the morning. A possible tornado was reported in Dickson, although no tornadoes have been confirmed in the Middle Tennessee area and [...]
Regal Reopening: A Good Reason To Play Hooky Today
The Regal Cinemas at Opry Mills has reopened over a year and a half after being flooded in May 2010, and they’re throwing a pretty sweet reopening party this week. Of course we’d never recommend that our readers skip out on work, but if, you know, you just happen to get sick or something, we [...]
Bright & Early: Mountains And Molehills Edition
Good morning, Nashville. A quick tour of this morning’s headlines: Davidson County Clerk John Arriola is likely breathing a sigh of relief this morning as the Metro Council deferred a bill calling for his resignation at last night’s meeting. The bill wouldn’t actually require him to take any action, but his office is already under [...]
Bright & (Not So) Early: Beat It Edition
Good morning, Nashville. If this doesn’t brighten up your Monday, we don’t know what will: A flash mob took over Broadway for a street performance of Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” on Friday night, and we are so happy that there’s a video (and another video). Led by local musician Trent Dabbs, about 100 people showed [...]
Happy Hour: Holiday Silliness Is The Best Kind Of Silliness
So a bunch of airline employees and police officers staged a Christmas flashmob in BNA’s Terminal C today! And if you caught this on video during your travels, you are basically obligated to send it to us. And apparently there will be more of these. [WTVF] And the Off Broadway Shoes at Opry Mills received [...]
Bright & Early: Rough Around The Edges Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It’s been a few weeks since we’ve checked in with Fisk University, which was teetering on the edge of bankruptcy and trying to sell off its Georgia O’Keefe art collection to pay the bills. The university is now trying to come up with a way to raise $90 million by reaching out [...]
Happy Hour: The Neverending Story
Opry Mills has decided to sue its insurance company for $150 million, claiming that they’re not paying out nearly as much as they should in repair costs. The mall is estimated to have sustained upwards of $200 million in damage and so far only about $50 million has been covered. This is apparently the reason [...]
Bright & Early: All Is Fair Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The Tennessee State Fair and Fairgrounds have been in constant limbo for the past year or so with Mayor Dean proposing to shut it down by the first of July, then extending the closing date to the end of the year with various groups fighting to keep it around as a 104-year [...]
Bright & Early: Shoot For The Moon Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Mayor Dean spent Labor Day up in New York trying to woo a group of World Cup officials into selecting Nashville as a finalist for hosting the 2018 or 2022 World Cup. This idea has been floating around for a while, and Nashville is one of the 18 US cities in the [...]
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 [...]
