The Living Dead Rise Again: Nashville Zombie Walk
The Nashville Zombie Walk (quite appropriately) will never die. The semi-annual event is one of our favorite picture-taking opportunities, and we’re happy to hear that they’ve set another date. On September 19 at 4pm, Riverfront Park will be filled with the undead – Zombie children, zombie dogs, zombie ballerinas and probably some zombie protesters thrown [...]
The Weekendist: Independence Day Essentials
Fourth of July is one of our favorite times to be in Nashville, and the challenge this year is to pack our days as full as we can with any of the billion events happening this weekend. Also, if you need to stock up on booze for your cookouts/block parties/BYOB-type things, do it today since [...]
This Weekend: Merrell Crawfish Boil Moves Across The River
Every year, the Merrell Crawfish Boil leaves us more and more speechless as they bring the best (worst) in outdated man-rock through our city gates to take over downtown for the weekend. This time, the fabulous lineup includes: Here Come The Mummies, Mike’s Pawn Shop, Candlebox, Hoobastank, Souljaboy, Saving Abel, Flyleaf, Gavin Rossdale, Offspring, Boys [...]
Photo Of The Day: April 15, 2009
We promise we’ll stop with the disaster panoramas soon, but this stunning shot of the riverfront flooding actually got buried in the photo pool from April 5th, taken by josed.velazco. For perspective, none of those flags are supposed to be underwater. Again, best viewed large.
Photo Of The Day will be a recurring feature for Nashvillest [...]
Bright & Early: You Can’t Touch This Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The deadline is quickly approaching for the TVA to claim immunity against the seven lawsuits, including four class-action suits, they’re facing for the Kingston spill. They’ve been threatening this for months, but a federal judge has finally laid down the mandate that they’ll need to file by April 17. Residents are none [...]
Happy Hour: Lead Toys No More
You may have forgotten about the Chinese Poison Train of Long Long Ago (okay, so it was only 2007) when the Chinese were found to be exporting lead-tainted toys through Mattel. Tennessee was one of 36 states to investigate Mattel and today we got $239K out of a settlement agreement. Gotta make our money [...]
This Weekend: Great Nashville Duck Race
There’s nothing better than watching thousands of rubber ducks getting dumped into the Cumberland River and then “racing” for prizes, right? We love the Great Nashville Duck Race because it’s outrageously silly to watch, everyone can participate and it’s for a good cause. Just adopt a rubber duck for $5 and the proceeds go to The [...]
The Zombies Are Back, And They’re Collecting Food
Remember the zombie invasion back in May? Well, if you missed it the first time around, you’re in luck. They’re coming back to town as part of World Zombie Day this coming Sunday, and they’re even collecting canned goods for Second Harvest Food Bank. Awww, what nice zombies they are. Anyone is welcome to join [...]
Happy Hour: Buyer’s Remorse
The fingerprints of Elvis, one of the most famous Tennesseans ever, went for nearly $82K at an overseas auction yesterday. Apparently there are some big Elvis fans on the other side of the pond. [WSMV]
It looks like there’s a McCain rally and debate party in the works since a group filed a request to rent [...]
Photo Of The Day: August 20, 2008
Flickr user mrcohn took this shot at the My Morning Jacket show at the Riverfront on Friday night. We won’t pretend we’re not completely bummed out about missing it, but we still love the photo.
Photo Of The Day will be a recurring feature for Nashvillest as long you keep giving us stuff to post. Don’t [...]
