Bright & Early: Hustle Back Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’re not gonna lie: We were nearly convinced that football season wasn’t happening this year. However, the gates of the Baptist Sports Park swung wide open yesterday morning and many of our boys “shuffled” back into work after a 136-day vacation–or funemployment, if you will–following a new collective bargaining agreement reached between [...]
Bright & Early: The Bridge To Somewhere Edition
Good morning, Nashville. If you’ve been downtown in the last 24 hours, you might’ve already seen the brand new Bridgestone Arena signs that were unveiled last night. We discussed potential nicknames on Twitter last week and heard everything from The BAr to The BrA to The Rubber Palace to, simply, The Bridge. And we think [...]
Happy Hour: We Forget Sometimes That We Have An Official State Rap

You can participate in the Letter Carrier’s Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive by cleaning out [...]

Shelby, Davidson, and Rutherford Counties cranked out the most babies in the [...]
Bright & Early: Drip, Drip, Drip Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Ready for another utility bill hike? The Metro Council signed off on a rate increase for our water & sewer service, leaving us looking at a 7.8% rate hike every month, starting in May. Now this won’t pack a huge punch on our $9.64 monthly bill, but according to WKRN, the average [...]
Happy Hour: Hang Ten
Titans defensive back Michael Griffin is Pro Bowl-bound after Baltimore’s Ed Reed decided last-minute not to play (as they say, karma’s a b%$#@) This brings the total up to 8 Titans players headed to Hawaii. [City Paper] Didn’t get enough snow and ice and wintery destruction this morning? Check out WSMV’s slideshows of viewer-submitted pictures. [...]
