Bright & Early: You Can’t Touch This Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The deadline is quickly approaching for the TVA to claim immunity against the seven lawsuits, including four class-action suits, they’re facing for the Kingston spill.

Happy Hour: Where In The World Is Jack?
We can all breathe a big sigh of relief, for the stolen truck carrying A Whole Lot Of Jack Daniel’s has been recovered. But wait, they still haven’t found the actual trailer containing the booze.

Bright & Early: You Win Some, You Lose Some Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We have to admint we’re not real surprised to hear the news this morning that those super-ugly condos on the corner of 5th and Main in East Nashville aren’t actually selling like they were supposed to. The sorry state of the economy and housing market and probably the fact that they’re kind [...]
Bright & Early: Neighbors To The North Edition
Good morning, Nashville. As much as we’d love a snow day, we’re pretty glad we’re not part of the 500,000 folks in Tennessee and Kentucky who are stuck without power for the next few days. NES is lending a few of their workers out to Kentucky to try and get things back up and running [...]
