Happy Hour: Leave It To Beaver
A North Carolinian man stole a giant Statue of Liberty replica from the front yard of a Dickson County woman and it’s sort of a sad story. They caught the thief, but the statue is irreparable. [Tennessean]
Another unfortunate story that leaves us with an, er, interesting headline is this one: “Baby Unhurt After Being Left [...]
Bright & (Not So) Early: Happy Groundhog Day Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Looking out the window, we’d say that Punxsutawney Phil is probably right this time: Six more weeks of winter it is. As sometimes happens here at Nashvillest, we’re off to a late start and must give you your abbreviated Bright & Early:
Governor Phil delivered his fairly-depressing State of the State address last [...]
Happy Hour: Down For The Count

You know, we always figured the huge Kingston TVA ash spill would eventually make the rounds to national news, but GQ wasn’t exactly the publication we had in mind. [GQ via Pith In The Wind]
In other news, the TVA is appealing a federal ruling that they need find a way to stop pumping toxins across [...]
Happy Hour: Storytelling
Some thieves are on the run in a stolen 18-wheeler carrying lots and lots and lots of Jack Daniel’s (Tennessee’s unofficial state beverage, as it were.) You’ll be able to pick them out either by the excessive swerving or the classy-looking airbrushed bald eagle on the side of the cab. [WKRN]
