Bright & Early: Hats Off Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Everyone warned us that it was going to get soggy today, but that didn’t make it any easier to roll out of bed this morning. Most of the midstate saw some pretty strong thunderstorms overnight and into the early morning, and we’re not out of the woods yet. Though the rain should [...]
Bright & Early: It All Falls Down Edition
Good morning, Nashville. By the time you read this, the demolition of the Nashville Autohaus and several other buildings near the 7th and Shirley intersection will probably be underway (but not Rocketown just yet!) Construction for the Music City Center is expected to break ground today meaning that all of the buildings that are currently [...]
Bright & Early: Take That Back Edition
Good morning, Nashville. On the heels of Governor Phil’s announcement of widespread TennCare cuts, many hospitals are speaking out and comparing the cuts to Armageddon and declaring that “people will die” if they actually go into effect. Among the most devastating, they say, is the $10,000 cap on hospital stays for TennCare patients. This essentially [...]
Bright & Early: Middle Ground Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The Metro Transit Association has narrowly avoided a potentially disastrous bus strike after reaching an agreement with Nashville bus drivers. In recent weeks, drivers have been threatening to strike over a change in contract that would allow MTA to fire them after eight unplanned absences. They initially implemented this rule because they [...]
Happy Hour: Sunny Side Up
We do a lot of hating on the TVA around here, but we’ve got nothing but love for the 200 care packages they put together for troops in Afghanistan. [WSMV]
And also, they bought some new wind(-energy). [WPLN]
It’s been so long that we almost forgot what it was like, but a large chunk of westbound I-440 [...]
Bright & (Not So) Early: Ars Gratia Artis Edition
Good morning, Nashville, and happy almost Turkey Day! This morning, we’re giving thanks for our city’s public art, which Councilman Charlie Tygard has declared that he would like to spread around to the rest of Nashville by filing an ordinance with the Metro Council. This sentiment isn’t sitting well with members of the Metro Arts [...]
He Was… Just Being Miley [Hack Attack]
Our state is well on its way to being known as the land of the dumb teenage “hacker.” First we had UT Knoxville student David Kernell, who had his 15 minutes of fame about a month ago, when he correctly guessed the answer to the security question on Sarah Palin’s email account. Now we have [...]
Happy Hour: File It Under ‘Excuses To Drink’
We’re thinking that hell may have actually frozen over: Our beloved alma mater Belmont University–the driest of dry campuses–will be allowing booze onto the premises for one night only. Beer will be served in the Anheuser-Busch sponsored “media canteen” located right next to the media tent. It’s a slippery slope, friends. [WKRN]
Meanwhile, the folks at [...]
Bright & Early: Hax0rz Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It seems like all we’ve been hearing about lately (besides Belmont’s debate) is Sarah Palin, Sarah Palin, Sarah Palin. Despite the fact that she hails from all the way from Alaska, somehow we knew it would come back around to us. Earlier this week, some college kid hacked into Palin’s Yahoo email, [...]
