Bright & Early: Ppppttthhhhhhbbbbbttt Edition
Good morning, Nashville. News Channel 5′s investigative team continues to dig up dirt on Davidson County Clerk John Arriola (whose last name, by the way, is one of our least favorite things to type in a news item each day), this time bringing to light the taxpayer-funded $33,000 Chevy Tahoe he drives instead of the more [...]
Bright & Early: Get Real Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Over the weekend, a vandal struck the Tennessee State Capitol building and spraypainted messages along the outside walls and sidewalks. The messages said things like “Get out,” “RIP Tony Al” and “Welcome to the jungle,” along with some anarchy signs. Police weren’t able to identify the person from security tapes, though they [...]
Bright & Early: Strike Three Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It was another rough night for us in the storm department, and more than 16,900 customers are still without power this morning according to NES. Yet another storm system plowed through the state overnight carrying some nasty straight line winds, a few tornado scares and a whole lot of lightning with it. [...]
Happy Hour: All Good Things
Our beloved Davis-Kidd Booksellers location in Green Hills will be peacing out at the end of the year after its parent company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Kentucky. The store just passed its 30-year anniversary last month and will definitely missed by many of us. The only silver lining is the liquidation sale [...]

The complex, which has been controversial from the outset, will be open to the [...]
Happy Hour: Expanding The Empire
Welcome to Davidson County, Lakewood? Even if you did only decide to join us by one vote. [WSMV] And we thought we’d have an answer by now, but the Yarbro-Henry Senate primary is still too close to call. At last count, Douglas Henry was winning by three votes. [WKRN] The emergency dispatcher responsible for waiting [...]
Bright & Early: Food For Thought Edition
Good morning, Nashville. If you’ve ever enjoyed a hot dog, popcorn or even a beer at a Titans or Preds game, it might be worth knowing that 62% of LP Field food vendors and 59% of Bridgestone Arena food vendors had major health violations according to a recent inspection. Vendors at both facilities were found [...]
Bright & Early: Look Out Below Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Unless you’ve lived under a rock for the past couple of years, most of us have a pretty good idea of how difficult the job market has been. The summer job market has also been hit pretty hard by the recession, since a lot of professional adults have had to clamor for [...]
Bright & Early: Adventuretime Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We keep getting more and more intrigued by this whole idea of an “Adventure Play Park” being built on the east bank of the Cumberland. So far we’ve heard talk of water jets, rock climbing walls, wading pools and an amphitheater, but we’re having a little trouble visualizing such a thing. What [...]
