Bright & Early: All Things Grow Edition

Top o’ the mornin’ to ya, Nashville. We’re on a tight schedule this morning, so here is your abbreviated Bright & Early: Remember last year when someone kilted the naked statues near Music Row for St. Patty’s Day? Oops, they’ve done it again. This is a tradition we fully endorse. [WSMV] Speaking of St. Patty’s [...]

Happy Hour: How To Train Your Dragon

The Daily Beast ranked Nashville as the soberest city in the United States, followed by Bristol, TN and Memphis, TN. We’re calling shenanigans. Have they seen Five Points at 1am? [WSMV] The former TSU student who was arrested in Texas for killing an Army Private first became caught up in Islamic extremism in Nashville, according [...]

Bright & Early: So Sue Us Edition

Good morning, Nashville. All of the lawsuits against Metro Nashville Public Schools are really starting to add up, and now the fund for paying out settlements and copays is nearly depleted. City Paper rattles off the laundry list of lawsuits which include a girl who was horribly burned in a science experiment, numerous sexual assault [...]

Happy Hour: Keep On Truckin’

We got our state report card today and there is some good news: Our high school graduation rate has gone up! The bad news is that our kids still can’t read good. [Tennessean] Some former Six Flags execs have purchased Nashville Shores, but don’t get your hopes up because they already said they’re not building [...]

Bright & Early: Back To Square One

Good morning, Nashville. We hate to keep harping on the Kingston ash spill, but the more we read about it, the more it blows our minds. While testifying before an environmental committee at the state legislature yesterday, TVA prez Tom Kilgore reiterated that the billion-gallon spill covered nearly 300 acres of land and was probably [...]

Happy Hour: In Which We Watch The Ravens Crash & Burn

The City Paper gives us a few hints about what we should watch out for in tomorrow’s showdown. [City Paper] And speaking of the Titans, Kevin Mawae is definitely a no-go for Saturday’s showdown. [WTVF] The TVA spill we’ve been keeping an eye on all day was actually not the second one, but the third. [...]

Happy Hour: Beauty Is Pain

The city’s attempts to, uh, beautify Main Street in East Nashville (good luck with that!) might actually just be causing a bunch of traffic accidents. [WSMV] Some parts of Tennessee got as many as 6 inches of rain yesterday! Tonight, we might be getting some snow. [WTVF] The Metro Council is trying real hard to [...]

Happy Hour: Four Score and Seven Years Ago…

If you see a bunch of guys running around in Hillsboro Village dressed up like Abraham Lincoln, this is probably why. [Pith In The Wind] Ten students were arrested at Hunters Lane High School due to a series of fights that were most likely gang-related (though not a riot like some other networks initially reported). [...]

Bright & Early: The Morning After Edition

Good morning, Nashville. We hear there’s a new president or something. Here in Tennessee, it’s business as usual with the Republicans gaining several seats in both the state House and Senate.  We are happy to report that yesterday went by without a hitch on the new voting machine front, though. Now we just get to [...]

Happy Hour: Bring Back The Hanging Chads

Williamson County is gloating about how their early elections have gone on without a hitch, and they can’t figure out why we’re having so much trouble over here. [WKRN] If you never did the TVA’s free home energy audit, you’re in luck! They’ve extended the program for another year because they really, really, really want [...]
