Bright & Early: Someone Stole Our Sunshine Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Is it possible to veto a snow storm? Because we’ll sign whatever we need to sign to make that happen. This morning’s forecast actually isn’t looking that bad with only 1-2 inches of snow predicted, though that’s enough frozen stuff to cause Metro and other neighboring school systems to shut things down [...]
Bright & Early: The Sun Also Rises Edition
Good morning, Nashville. By the looks of the headlines this morning, you would think that nothing else is going on in the world besides the Titans kicking Jeff Fisher to the curb. Nevertheless, the federal government has ruled that Metro Schools must allow students in underperforming schools to transfer to better ones. Though this is [...]
Bright & Early: Groggy Monday Edition
Good morning, Nashville, and happy Monday. It’s going to be a short one this morning: Don’t count on too much snow tonight and tomorrow. At the moment, we’re pretty much looking at a half-inch or less. [Nashville WX] And again, TDOT has been putting down brine ahead of the expected snow. Except they’re running out [...]

Bright & Early: Ease On Down The Road Edition
Good morning, Nashville. After a long, long, long Metro Council meeting last night, they decided to pass the amended fairgrounds bill that will spare the racetrack and fairgrounds from demolition at least through 2012. More than 1,000 folks turned out for the meeting and hundreds of Nashvillians (and lots of non-Nashvillians, oddly enough) spoke on [...]
Bright & Early: Yep, It’s Still Snowing Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It’s still snowing outside, somehow! Schools are out again today, the kiddos have nearly forgotten what the inside of a classroom looks like, and we feel quite sure they’ll be cursing these snow days well into June when they’re still not out for the summer. The good news is, these snow showers [...]
