Bright & Early: It All Falls Down Edition
Good morning, Nashville. By the time you read this, the demolition of the Nashville Autohaus and several other buildings near the 7th and Shirley intersection will probably be underway (but not Rocketown just yet!) Construction for the Music City Center is expected to break ground today meaning that all of the buildings that are currently [...]
Happy Hour: Common Trouble
A study by the Brookings Institution found that poverty in Nashville is growing at a rate about five times that of the national average. [City Paper]
Oh yes, and we forgot to talk about the old-convention-center-soon-to-be-turned-medical-mart this morning. [WKRN]
Titans center Kevin Mawae traveled to DC to speak before Congress today about some labor disputes going on [...]
Bright & (Not So) Early: Ars Gratia Artis Edition
Good morning, Nashville, and happy almost Turkey Day! This morning, we’re giving thanks for our city’s public art, which Councilman Charlie Tygard has declared that he would like to spread around to the rest of Nashville by filing an ordinance with the Metro Council. This sentiment isn’t sitting well with members of the Metro Arts [...]
The Weekendist: Independence Day Essentials
Fourth of July is one of our favorite times to be in Nashville, and the challenge this year is to pack our days as full as we can with any of the billion events happening this weekend. Also, if you need to stock up on booze for your cookouts/block parties/BYOB-type things, do it today since [...]
Opryland’s Poolapalooza Is Back For Another Boozy Summer
With Memorial Day behind us, Opryland wastes no time getting the party started. The annual Poolapalooza summer series is essentially a big, free pool party for grown-ups (though all ages are welcomed this year), and it starts this Friday at Opryland’s Cascades pool. It’s free, so we can’t complain. Poolapalooza starts up at 6pm every [...]
New Years Eve Procrastinators, Unite! [It's Not Too Late]
If you’re at all like us, you’ve waited until the last minute to figure out what’s going on for New Years Eve without being totally lame and spending the night at home watching other people having fun on tv (we can say that, because that’s definitely what we do every year). There are a few [...]
The Weekendist: Apples To Apples Edition
With the rain on its way out, it’s shaping up to be a gorgeous weekend, and that tells us there’s plenty of time to cram in a festival or two before the weather gets cold. You’ll probably find us zipping between hot dog stands and cheering for the official Nashvillest ducks as they race down [...]
Happy Hour: Ups & Downs Edition
We would be remiss if we didn’t mention this, but the Metro Planning Commission will be meeting tonight to talk about the controversial May Town Center development that aims to be a “second downtown” in the middle of rural Davidson County. They’re expecting a pretty packed house for the meeting, which starts around 6pm at [...]
Beat The Heat: Metro Swimming & Spraygrounds
What is a sprayground, you ask? We asked the same thing. Apparently, it’s every little kid’s dream – A place where they can run through the sprinklers and not get in trouble for getting their clothes wet. Metro Nashville offers a variety of free and unique solutions to beat the heat in the summer. Where [...]
