Bright & Early: Bros Icing Bros Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Kids in Metro Schools got yet another snow day today as officials closed the place down for the second day straight while several neighboring school systems opened a few hours late. But the real story is the nasty-looking ice storm in tomorrow’s forecast, which could coat the region with more than a [...]
Bright & Early: Look To The Sky Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Some Metro Schools officials aren’t feeling extremely hopeful about the No Child Left Behind results coming their way next month. Because the school system changed its standardized testing methods, resulting in lower scores, it could have a significant impact on their NCLB standings. Things have gotten dire enough in years past with NCLB [...]
Bright & Early: Rebuilding Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Saturday marks the start of the Nashville Build by the crew of Extreme Home Makeover and a few thousand volunteers.

The first crop of students will start this summer. [WSMV] Winter storm warning! But not for us (though we’ll still see some snow and sleet.) [Nashville WX] Economists from the [...]
Happy Hour: Not Out Of The Woods
Tomorrow is another snow day for the Davidson County school kids, those lucky ducks. [WSMV] But it isn’t without cause as the roads are still pretty treacherous in spots and the slush is expected to re-freeze tonight. [WSMV] Case in point: An SUV slid on the slush that’s still on the side of I-40 near [...]
