Bright & Early: At The Drive-In Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Here’s what’s going on around town this morning: So someone drove a car through our favorite laundromat at the corner of 21st and Blair yesterday! Hopefully no one was hurt, but we can’t find it in the news anywhere. [Instagram & TwitPic] The folks at the Tennessee Aquarium are proud to announce [...]
Bright & Early: Here Here Edition
Good morning, Nashville! We’re running behind, this is going to be quick, you know the drill, etc. Even though we mistakenly said that Project Homeless Connect was happening yesterday and no one bothered to correct us, it’s actually happening today. And by the looks of the Twitters, it’s going rather well! Thanks to all of [...]
Happy Hour: After The Storm
All things considered, we made out slightly better than the rest of the country in the storm department this afternoon. Here are some scary pictures from around the midstate, though. [WKRN] If you’ve noticed the new artwork popping up around the Music City Center construction site, you can thank the kids from the Oasis Center [...]
Bright & Early: A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood Edition
Good morning, Nashville. How about this weather? We often gripe and moan about melting and such, so we figure that it’s only appropriate to acknowledge the beautiful weather Mother Nature has bestowed on us this week. It even – dare we say – got a little chilly at Movies in the Park last night! Fun [...]
Bright & Early: Donuts On The Brain Edition

Things got pretty tense at last night’s Metro Council meeting, where council members interrogated Metro Schools officials about their plan to lay off 600 custodians and 24 office workers in addition to doling out significant pay cuts to bus drivers. The plan, which will save MNPS an estimated [...]
Happy Hour: Crank It To Eleven
FEMA has approved more than $118 million in aid for flood victims so far, and the Small Business Administration has doled out nearly $10 million in loans. [WTVF] We’re not sure what to think of this new public art installation, but anything that involves a “massive and indestructible crank” (challenge!) at least deserves a chance, [...]
Bright & Early: Great Guitar Drop Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The Convention & Visitors Bureau has a special trick up their sleeve this year with a free NYC-ish New Years Eve celebration. Since last year’s $250 Lynyrd Skynyrd concert fell flat and had to be canceled last-minute because tickets weren’t selling, they’re trying the free approach in an attempt to drum up [...]
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 [...]
Bright & Early: Racking It Up Edition
Good morning, Nashville. In the coming year, a handful of spots in Nashville will become home to some new, useful public art. The city is looking for local artists to design artistic bike racks at five different spots around downtown. Designs should be inspired by Nashville’s history, culture or natural features, and the winning artists [...]
