Bright & Early: Hanging On Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Yesterday’s storms left at least 178 people dead across the states of Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and Virginia. Alabama took the largest beating with 128 fatalities and hundreds of injuries as the tornado originated in Tuscaloosa and then plowed through several other states. Tennessee saw 15 dead, mainly in the southeast part [...]
Bright & Early: The View From Here Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Ever since the May flood, the folks at Gaylord have been working with the Army Corps of Engineers to figure out a way to better protect the Opryland Hotel and surrounding properties from future flooding. They’re now proposing to raise the levee enough to keep the water out during a 500-year flood, [...]
Bright & Early: Snow, Etc. Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We feel like a broken record these days, but did you hear that it’s supposed to snow this afternoon? We should see our first flurries around 2PM and everyone is calling for about 1-2 inches. Though TDOT is already out prepping the roads with what little salt they have left, it could [...]
Bright & Early: Endless Winter Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Our weather alerts have already started flashing orange and red in anticipation of the wintry weather we might get at the end of this week.

Happy Hour: Birds Flying High
So that storm was a doozy, eh? Three big lightning strikes were enough to take down the city’s 911 dispatching system, or most of it, leaving operators to record calls by pen and paper. [WTVF] Organizers are now taking questions for Mike McWherter and Bill Haslam’s September 14th debate, so send ‘em some good ones [...]
Happy Hour: Keep The Music Playing
Congressman Jim Cooper toured the Schermerhorn today and it’s still looking pretty pitiful. Get well soon, Nashville Symphony! [WKRN] Bloody mattress and bed bug horror stories aside, the Metro Health Department found that the Stadium Inn is in tip-top shape. For the Stadium Inn. [WTVF] Kids are starting school next week (already!?) and it looks [...]
Happy Hour: Christmas Came Early This Year
The folks in charge of the Music City Center construction are beefing up their hiring and training procedures to ensure that they’re not employing any illegal immigrants. This comes on the heels of a (very poorly worded) concern expressed by Rep. Mike Turner a few days ago, which he then filed in the form of [...]
Happy Hour: Dream The Dream
Chris Johnson and the Titans finally worked enough of a deal out that he’ll actually be showing up to training camp next week (somebody pinch us, are we dreaming?) He did end up talking himself into a pay raise, but the rest of the terms are still a mystery. [City Paper] Speaking of, single game [...]
