Bright & Early: Practice Makes Perfect Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It’s feeling a little toasty outside, isn’t it?

Good morning, Nashville. We woke up to the news that city officials have FINALLY decided on a Christmas tree for us, which they’ll (and by “they” we mean our BFFs at NES) be putting up in the Public Square on December 5th. Apparently it’s been a rough year for the Christmas tree farms due to [...]
