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. While we would love to cap this off [...]
Inauguration Day! [Road Closures]
Guess what, Tennessee? We’re getting a new governor tomorrow. Governor-elect Bill Haslam will be sworn in at an inauguration ceremony Saturday morning at 11AM at Legislative Plaza.

Bright & Early: The Vee’s Knees Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Though the Titans practically gutted the Jaguars last night 30-3, the game wasn’t without a casualty: Vince Young left in the first quarter after we all watched his knee do something that knees shouldn’t do. Kerry Collins took over for the rest of the game and despite VY’s sprained knee and ankle, Coach [...]
Bright & Early: BRBLOLOKTTYLKTHXBYE Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Local teachers are afraid that text lingo may be getting in the way of our kids learning the English language. With text speak working its way into conversation in real life (IRL), it stands to reason that it has also been showing up in kids’ papers and projects for school. English language [...]
Bright & Early: It’s A Cluster Edition
Good morning, Nashville. If ever there were a perfect storm of traffic congestion downtown Nashville, tonight would be the night.
