Regal Reopening: A Good Reason To Play Hooky Today
The Regal Cinemas at Opry Mills has reopened over a year and a half after being flooded in May 2010, and they’re throwing a pretty sweet reopening party this week. Of course we’d never recommend that our readers skip out on work, but if, you know, you just happen to get sick or something, we [...]
Grassy Knoll Movie Nights In East Nashville Start This Sunday
Since Movies in the Park will wrap up with their last movie of the year tonight, we were super excited to hear that Grassy Knoll Movie Nights in East Nashville will be starting up this weekend. Before you get too excited, let us offer this disclaimer: It’s not free. But it is pretty darn cheap at [...]
Bright & Early: Back To The Grind Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The newly-elected 107th General Assembly was called to order yesterday and had their first session bright and early this morning. If the budget hearings of the past few weeks have been any indication, it’s going to be a long year fraught with budget cuts across pretty much every state department. The new [...]
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 [...]

It’s been a few weeks since we’ve checked in with Fisk University, which was teetering on the edge of bankruptcy and trying to sell off its Georgia O’Keefe art collection to pay the bills. The university is now trying to come up with a way to raise $90 million by reaching out [...]
Bright & Early: Field Of Broken Dreams Edition
Good morning, Nashville. This week is off to a hurried start, so here’s your quick sprint through the morning news: We were all scratching our heads when U2 announced a date at Vanderbilt, but it turns out that they actually approached LP Field first and were turned down. The CMApocalypse contract states that no concerts [...]
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: Feeling Viral Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Last Friday, McGavock High School math teacher Donald Wood had a meltdown during class in which he threw some tables, screamed a lot and admitted to starting a fire in the school bathroom one time. Wood was subdued and carted off in an ambulance, but not before one enterprising student caught the [...]
Happy Hour: Nashville Rising
Tonight is the night of that gigantic flood benefit concert at Bridgestone! Miley and Taylor and Tim McGraw and Faith Hill and Jason Aldean and Miranda Lambert and about a billion other country artists will be playing for a sold-out crowd. And if you see scalpers selling extra tickets, please don’t support ‘em. It’s a [...]
