Bright & Early: No Foolin’ Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The internet is all abuzz about our beloved Pancake Pantry’s latest health inspection report, which gave them a sad score of 59 due to a stray cockroach, an employee wiping his nose and continuing to cook, and some meatballs that were the wrong temperature.

Good morning, Nashville. A new study estimates that 45% of all 18-24 year-olds in Tennessee are too obese to qualify for military service.

Happy Hour: Decade Winds Down
The Tennessean has compiled a gallery of over 100 photos from throughout 2009 and there are some pretty stunning ones in the bunch.
