Happy Hour: Hug A Hilltopper
Big news this afternoon as the Western Kentucky campus and several local schools were put on lockdown after some gunmen dressed in black were reportedly running around Pierce-Ford Tower (that giant dorm on Main Campus). The lockdown was lifted a little while ago and five students were taken into custody. We’re happy to report that [...]
Bright & Early: Feelin’ Frosty Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Hopefully you brought your plants inside last night since we had our first frost of the season. And though we were a little sad to hang up the flip flops this weekend, we’ve always bragged that Tennessee is one of the best places in the world to be in the fall. We’re [...]
Happy Hour: Raining On Our Parade

Bright & Early: Business As Usual Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’re pretty exhausted after our epic night in the international spotlight, and what’s all this about water falling from the sky? It’s raining, you say?

All eyes are on us! Well, us meaning [...]
Bright & Early: D-Day Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Debate Day is finally here, and it’s already gotten off to an interesting start, complete with motorcade traffic all over Broadway and John Rich getting mobbed by Obama supporters on the CBS Early Show (look for that one on Youtube later). We don’t really know what else to say, except that we [...]
Belmont’s Debate ‘08 Neighborhood Impact [Road Closures]
We’ve finally unearthed a map of the road closures announced for next Tuesday’s debate and so far it looks like the damage is pretty minimal, though we’re predicting that more closures will be announced as we get closer to the debate. We’re still recommending you steer clear of the general area if you can unless [...]
Bright & Early: Fork It Over Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It’s October 1st, meaning it’s time to dig out your wallet and ceremoniously empty it out onto the steps of the Nashville Electric Service. Not only is your electric bill going up by 20% this month thanks to our friends at the Tennessee Valley Authority, but NES has decided that ’tis the [...]
Bright & Early: Watch Where You Step Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Been to the Shelby Street pedestrian bridge lately? Apparently it smells like urine, vomit, and alcohol. Where do we sign up? And in case you missed it, WSMV has been kind enough to supply us with some close-up pictures of these alleged “nasty spots,” which we’re guessing are Photoshopped. Wait, what’s that [...]
