Bright & Early: Take Us Out To The Ballgame Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’re running short on time this morning, so you know the drill. Your abbreviated Bright & Early: Happy opening day, baseball fans! Not that we have any major league teams around here to follow, but at least a few of us limped into Nashville from other parts of the country with our [...]
Bright & Early: All Is Fair Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The Tennessee State Fair and Fairgrounds have been in constant limbo for the past year or so with Mayor Dean proposing to shut it down by the first of July, then extending the closing date to the end of the year with various groups fighting to keep it around as a 104-year [...]
Bright & Early: They’re Back Edition
Good morning, Nashville. That magical time of the year we call Football Season is upon us and the Titans kicked it off less-than-awesomely in Seattle on Saturday with a 20-18 loss. But! Chris Johnson seems to be picking up right where he left off last season and VY™ wasn’t looking too shabby either. Next time [...]
Happy Hour: We Saw The Sign
Steer clear of the airport area this afternoon and evening. Vice President Joe Biden will be jetting into town to speak at TNDP’s Jackson Day event and his security detail might back things up. [Tennessean] Also avoid I-40 in West Nashville this weekend in that one spot near White Bridge with the eternal construction. It’s [...]
Bright & Early: The Way It Moves Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It’s one of those weird weather weeks again with blazing heat and pop-up storms–one of which actually peeled the roof clean off of a Smyrna gas station. One thing we shouldn’t have to worry about is a trend of heat-related power outages because NES insists they have it under control. In years [...]
Bright & Early: Make It Stop Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The lack of news today leaves us with nothing else to talk about besides the weather, which is the same weather we’ve been experiencing for about a month: It’s going to be blazingly hot today, and just when it gets to be unbearable, a Nashville-sized rain cloud will form directly over some [...]
Bright & Early: The Numbers Game Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Since the flooding happened almost six weeks ago, FEMA has shelled out more than $200 million in federal disaster assistance including $117.8 for housing assistance alone. Additionally, the US Small Business Administration has given more than $64 million in low-interest loans for flood victims and businesses that were hurt by the disaster. [...]
Bright & Early: The Waiting Game Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Today seems to be pretty light on the news-that’s-not-about-CMA-Fest front (except for this important update from FEMA about assistance for renters), so we’re going to give you what we’ve got, in bullet form: The Nashville Convention & Visitors Bureau says we should “probably appreciate our visitors a little more this year because [...]
Happy Hour: Centerstage
Conan revealed this afternoon that he’ll be making a stop at Jack White’s Third Man Records tomorrow evening at 8pm, first come first served! Which means you should all probably start getting in line right now and also save us a spot. [Tennessean] The weather hasn’t been real nice to us today with some of [...]
