Bright & Early: Music To Our Ears Edition
Good morning, Nashville. As much as we joke around about Bluepocalypse and CMApocalypse and all the other -pocalypses that involve hundreds of thousands of tourists flooding downtown Nashville, we really do appreciate it. Folks who visited over the weekend for the SEC festivities pumped an estimated $10 million into our economy and also had some [...]
Bright & Early: Hats Off Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Everyone warned us that it was going to get soggy today, but that didn’t make it any easier to roll out of bed this morning. Most of the midstate saw some pretty strong thunderstorms overnight and into the early morning, and we’re not out of the woods yet. Though the rain should [...]
Bright & Early: He Sees You When You’re Sleeping Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Yesterday brought us an entertaining-but-sort-of-scary tale of Santa robbing a local bank at gunpoint (and the pictures… oh, the pictures!)

It doesn’t look like we’re going to get any flurries this time [...]
Bright & Early: They’re Baaack Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Remember that whole Bible Park USA debacle in Rutherford County a long time ago? Developers of the Bible theme park were eventually defeated when the city voted against the rezoning that would’ve allowed them to build. Last week, the Tennessee Court of Appeals overturned the decision because of some shady clauses in [...]
Bright & Early: Raining On Our Parade Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We can’t help but get a little bit bitter about the buckets and buckets of rain that we’re getting, especially when it starts destroying our pumpkin crops. Reports from a few weeks ago said that the rain was actually helping stave off a pumpkin shortage, but now we’re learning that it’s reducing [...]
Happy Hour: Slick Ride Home

A construction blasting mishap showered rock debris all over I-24 this afternoon, shutting down two eastbound lanes and causing a nearly 10-mile traffic backup. TGIF? [...]
Happy Hour: Turn Around Don’t Drown
It’s raining! It’s raining so much, in fact, that it is flooding here, here, and here. So please heed the above warning when you’re out and about tonight and tomorrow and for all of eternity because that’s how long it will be raining in Nashville. [Nashville WX]
If you don’t tear up at least a little [...]
