Opryland Shines Tonight For A Country Christmas Lighting Ceremony
After a soggy few months, our beloved Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center is back and better than ever. And just in the nick of time, too – The hotel plays host to A Country Christmas each year, and it wouldn’t have been quite as merry this holiday season without the lights and festivities out [...]
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 [...]
Bright & Early: Business Up Front Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Today’s the day! CMApocalypse 2010 is off to a stormy start, but hopefully all thunder and lighting and wind and rain will stay far away from downtown for this morning’s kickoff parade. Don’t forget to check out the lengthy list of road closures, which started at 8am today. And speaking of traffic, people [...]
Happy Hour: We Got Our Flippy-Floppies
Long live the KR Harrington water treatment plant! It’s finally back up and running, as Mayor Dean announced today, but let’s not all rush out and wash our cars and/or water our lawns and/or fill our swimming pools and/or tap the fire hydrants for fun just yet. Metro Water officials are still asking us to [...]
Bright & Early: Nashville Is Open Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Even though the water has receded and many downtown businesses are back up and running, they’re having a heck of a time actually getting people through the doors. The city has even launched a big “Nashville Is Open” campaign to try to let the world know that they can still come and [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
