Bright & Early: The Good Old Days Edition

Good morning, Nashville. Depending on how long you’ve lived here, you may or may not remember the glory days of the Starwood Amphitheater.

Bright & Early: It’s Never Going To Snow Here Edition

Good morning, Nashville. We hope you survived Snowpocalypse 2009, though we didn’t experience a whole lot of wintery weather worth writing home about here in Middle Tennessee. Our neighbors to the east, however, were a different story. Up in the northeastern corner of the state, Scott County emergency personnel are still working to repair some [...]

Bright & Early: Movin’ And Shakin’ Edition

Good morning, Nashville. While East Tennessee is busy falling apart with various rock slides and what have you, West Tennessee has experienced six earthquakes in the past week.
