Happy Hour: True Blood
The Nashville Red Cross estimates they’ve missed out on about 1,700 blood donations thanks to the winter weather that’s been battering us over the past few months. Get thee to a blood bank! [WTVF] Those pesky bedbugs are back! Or maybe they just never left? Either way, local inspectors have noticed a spike in bedbug [...]
Bright & Early: The Sun Also Rises Edition
Good morning, Nashville. By the looks of the headlines this morning, you would think that nothing else is going on in the world besides the Titans kicking Jeff Fisher to the curb. Nevertheless, the federal government has ruled that Metro Schools must allow students in underperforming schools to transfer to better ones. Though this is [...]
Bright & Early: Here Here Edition
Good morning, Nashville! We’re running behind, this is going to be quick, you know the drill, etc. Even though we mistakenly said that Project Homeless Connect was happening yesterday and no one bothered to correct us, it’s actually happening today. And by the looks of the Twitters, it’s going rather well! Thanks to all of [...]
Bright & Early: Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes Edition
Good morning, Nashville.

This system is intended to encourage us [...]

[Tennessean] Some former Six Flags execs have purchased Nashville Shores, but don’t get your hopes up because they already said they’re not building [...]
Bright & Early: People Kill People Edition
Good morning, Nashville. A high school graduation downtown turned tragic when a gunman opened fire into the crowd of 4,000 people who were attending the ceremony. One person was killed and another injured by the gunfire, and another person was trampled by the crowd running out of the auditorium; none of them were graduates. The [...]
Bright & Early: Smaller World Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We were pretty intrigued when Mayor Dean mentioned a 28th Avenue connector road in his State of Metro address a few weeks back. Details are finally coming out about the new construction project which will connect 28th and 31st avenues over some railroad tracks just north of Centennial Park. The hope is [...]
Happy Hour: What Would Brad Pitt Do?
Not to knock a $17,000 clothing donation to the Nashville Rescue Mission, but we’re a little amused/bewildered at the thought of Nashville’s entire homeless population running around in Troy t-shirts this summer. [WSMV] A guy in an SUV crashed into five different cars today near TSU and told police it was because he was “trying [...]
