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.

Bright & Early: Back To Square One
Good morning, Nashville. We hate to keep harping on the Kingston ash spill, but the more we read about it, the more it blows our minds. While testifying before an environmental committee at the state legislature yesterday, TVA prez Tom Kilgore reiterated that the billion-gallon spill covered nearly 300 acres of land and was probably [...]
Bright & Early: ROFL OMG HAY BFF LOLZ Edition
Good morning, Nashville. With Metro Schools failing at pretty much everything these days, it’s good to see people trying different things… we guess. The principal of Hunters Lane High School recently gave her cell phone number out to every kid in the school and asked them to text her because she feels like it’s a [...]
