Happy Hour: Singing The Blues
Memphis’ famous House of Blues Studio D was shipped to Nashville in pieces yesterday.

Bright & Early: Now Or Never Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The proposed Music City Center is coming up for a final vote at tonight’s Metro Council meeting, though most folks are saying that it’s pretty much a done deal. Considering the city has already bought up all the land and pumped nearly a half-million dollars into public relations (at least), they’re probably [...]
