Bright & Early: A Promise Is A Promise Edition
Good morning, Nashville. With Memorial Day weekend coming up, lots of folks will be roadtripping to, from and through town. TDOT will be doing their part to make the weekend run smoothly by suspending all construction-related lane closures, which includes I-440! We can hardly believe our ears. As we mentioned yesterday, the Tennessee Highway Patrol will [...]
Happy Hour: If A Plane Falls In The Forest
A small plane crashed about 50 feet from the runway at the Smyrna Airport this afternoon. Though the pilot was able to walk away from the crash, he suffered burns on 20% of his body and is in stable condition at Vandy. [WKRN] One week into the semester and some Vandy kids have already tried [...]
Bright & Early: This Is Just A Drill Edition

This means that we won’t know how much money they’ve raised or who it’s coming from until probably after the election [...]
Happy Hour: Building Up The Arsenal
How could we pass up a headline like this?: “Steelers Unveil Secret Weapon: Martina McBride.” [WTVF] We’re happy to say that all 150 people on board the plane that crashed into the Hudson River right after take-off made it out safe and sound. [Tennessean] Probably a bad segue on our part, but Southwest is also [...]
Happy Hour: In Which We Begin Our Mass Exodus
TDOT is getting in the holiday spirit by taking a few days off this Thanksgiving. This is good news for all of us who will be part of the annual mass exodus out of Nashville because they’ve put construction projects on hold from Wednesday afternoon until Monday morning. [WSMV] Trace Adkins has crowned himself the [...]
