Bright & Early: Why Not Wine Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The controversial issue of allowing wine to be sold in grocery stores is certainly not a new one, but lawmakers and advocates are taking a slightly different approach this year. The current bill moving through the legislature would give individual counties the opportunity to vote on the issue as early as August. [...]
Speaking Of Lineups: Vandy Announces Rites Of Spring Bill
Not to be left in the dust by Bonnaroo’s big-time lineup announcements yesterday, InsideVandy.com announced the full lineup for this year’s Rites of Spring this morning.

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]

Bright & Early: Up Up And Away Edition
Good morning, Nashville. You may have noticed the gas prices quietly crawling up over the past few weeks and as of this week, they’ve hit a 15-month high averaging $2.65 per gallon in the midstate. Experts say that it has a lot to do with this cold weather we’ve been seeing and the fact that [...]
Bright & Early: Well Runs Dry Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Lest we start thinking that our 10.5% unemployment rate comes without a price, Governor Phil told state lawmakers yesterday that another hike in unemployment tax is just around the corner. The first increase was enacted earlier this year to help ensure that the state’s unemployment fund wouldn’t run dry and unemployed Tennesseans [...]
Happy Hour: Ready, Set, Fight
We’re not sure which is funnier: The fact that Stephen Colbert almost had a Knoxville building named after him, the honorary parking space they gave him instead, or guy holding up Colbert’s honorary parking sign in all of the photos whose name is “Chuck Morris.” [KnoxNews]
Or maybe that everyone’s favorite blogging state rep Stacey Campfield [...]
Happy Hour: And… Freeze!
We’re looking at a possible first freeze tonight. Bring those plants inside! [WSMV]
A Ft. Campbell soldier was arrested yesterday after nearly 100 pounds of C-4 explosives were found at his house. No one has determined why he was hoarding them. [WKRN]
But speaking of blowing things up, TDOT started blasting on I-40 and White Bridge this [...]
Bright & Early: Parks & Rec Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Metro officials are trying to figure out how the Parks & Recreation managed to go $1 million over budget without anyone realizing it before it was too late. The city had to make some pretty expensive repairs courtesy of a lightning strike back in the summer, and they also decided to keep [...]
