Bright & Early: In Plane Sight Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The death toll for this week’s storms has grown to at least 290 across six states, including 206 in Alabama alone, and many people are still missing. The National Weather Service is still trying to determine how to classify the Tuscaloosa tornado, but they say it was at least an EF4, if [...]
Happy Hour: The Darkest Of Dark
Tomorrow is the darkest day of the year! It’s also the darkest day in 372 years, because there is a full moon eclipse happening at 2:41 am during the Winter Solstice for the first time since 1638. So after tomorrow, we can all relax because the worst of our daylight deprivation is behind us. [Gizmodo] [...]
Bright & Early: See You At The Poll Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It’s Election Day! If you weren’t one of the hundreds of thousands of Tennesseans who voted early, be sure you take a few minutes to research the candidates and head to the polls today. You can find out where to vote at the Davidson County Election Commission, unless the site is down [...]
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. Road closures for the Titans’ final preseason game will start at 4:30pm, followed by the wave of folks pouring into the Bridgestone Arena for Brooks & Dunn’s last-ever show (well, until the inevitable reunion tour). [...]
Bright & (Not So) Early: 14:59 Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’re running behind this morning, as we are still sort of scraping ourselves off the floor from last night’s Basil Manceaux debate. So here is your abbreviated Bright & Early: The Metro Health Department is offering free vaccinations for all Davidson County kids who are going back to school next week. [WTVF] [...]
Bright & Early: Adventure Time Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Last night, Metro unveiled the much-anticipated plans for the riverfront adventure play park. Once you get past the computerized rendering filled with the Photoshopped children, it actually looks pretty fun. There will be a “hollow” for small children and a “gorge” for larger children (!?), a spray ground, a “scooped misting meadow,” [...]
Bright & Early: Getting Around Edition
Good morning, Nashville. More details about the big transit meeting are emerging and it turns out that city leaders are kicking around actual ideas for a light rail system sometime in the (probably distant) future. Though we know that this kind of talk makes the rounds at least once or twice a year, the Nashville [...]
Bright & Early: Better Know A County Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Though yesterday started out pretty, last night’s storms wreaked some serious havoc on parts of Tennessee. According to WSMV, “The five counties that now qualify for disaster relief are Claiborne, Cock [sic], Rutherford, Sevier and Union counties.” Farms in all of these counties were significantly damaged by excessive rains and flooding. The [...]
Bright & Early: They’re Baaack Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Remember that whole Bible Park USA debacle in Rutherford County a long time ago? Developers of the Bible theme park were eventually defeated when the city voted against the rezoning that would’ve allowed them to build. Last week, the Tennessee Court of Appeals overturned the decision because of some shady clauses in [...]
Happy Hour: Headhunters
Super-creepy tidbit of the day: The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency wants hunters across the state to save them the heads of the squirrels and rabbits they kill so they can map the species distribution statewide. They’ll even come and pick them up if you just want to toss them in the fridge or freezer for [...]
