Neither Rain, Nor Sleet, Nor Snow: Free Day at Country Music Hall Of Fame
Thanks to that good ol’ #TheSituation2010 this past weekend, the Country Music Hall of Fame was closed on Saturday, which also happened to be the date of their annual Ford Community Day, a rare day of free admission. For those crying “conspiracy!” at the museum’s seemingly convenient closing, we expect to see your shining faces [...]
Happy Hour: We Have Another Situation (Maybe!)
The weatherpeople are calling for another possible Ice/Snow Situation early next week, which means we have six days to come up with another good hashtag. Get to work! [Nashville WX] But considering that the kiddos are already out of snow days, they could be looking at Saturday school or the much-dreaded “extended school year,” which [...]
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 [...]
Bright & Early: Then He Waved Goodbye Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Icy roads and stranded cars and roof collapsing aside, we have to say that we’re pretty sad to see #TheSituation2010 come to an end.

As predicted, the city is taking every possible precaution including readying emergency response crews, putting the electric company on standby, working out [...]
Happy Hour: So It Begins
School districts are already shutting down in anticipation of this, #TheSituation2010, including all the usual suspects: Davidson, Williamson, Rutherford, Wilson, Sumner, and just about every other district in the midstate. Here we go! [WKRN] Local and national weather-folk are predicting anywhere from 1 to 12 inches of snow, though we’re most commonly seeing projected amounts [...]
Happy Hour: If You Can’t Say Anything Nice
The guy who robbed the Suntrust on Commerce this week was nabbed by police after an observant citizen who overheard him bragging a little too loudly and called the cops. [Tennessean] Tennessee is one of the states affected by a widespread salami recall. So if you bought any of it recently, you may want to [...]
Bright & Early: Railroaded Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Two weeks ago, officials with Metro Schools predicted a $35 million budget shortfall for the 2010 fiscal year, but the number has since been raised to $38 million. On top of a sales tax revenue shortage, the district also shell out some extra cash for higher-than-predicted employee insurance rates and 300 new [...]
