Tomorrow’s Pick: “Running With Scissors” Guy Augusten Burroughs To Speak At Vandy
Most of us have read, seen, or at least heard of Augusten Burroughs’ 2001 memoir Running With Scissors which enjoyed a respectable four-year stint on the New York Times bestseller list. And tomorrow night, you’ve got the chance to catch him in person at Vandy’s Ingram Hall for a free reading, discussion, and book signing.
For [...]
Bright & Early: Gettin’ Our Green On Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Taking a look at some of the before and after photos of Earth Hour Nashville, we’d say that our city had a whole lot to be proud of this weekend, even if Nashville Gifts decided to be a stick in the mud and Al Gore couldn’t manage to turn off his giant [...]
Photo Of The Day: March 9, 2008
Today’s photo comes to us from Malcolm MacGregor, taken on 21st Avenue near Vandy. Especially as the weather gets nicer, it definitely reminds us of some nighttime strolls in search of Ben & Jerry’s.
Photo Of The Day will be a recurring feature for Nashvillest as long you keep giving us stuff to post. Don’t worry–we’ll [...]
Bright & Early: Outside Looking In Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The federal Government Accountability Office published a new report this week taking a good, hard look at the local immigration enforcement programs across the country including the one in Davidson County. Though Nashville’s 287(g) program resulted in the deportation of around 3,000 undocumented immigrants, the report questions whether it’s actually doing what [...]
Vandy’s Rites Of Spring Headliners Announced
We’ve always felt like Vandy’s Rites of Spring music festival is pretty hit-or-miss, but we’d say this year might just be a hit. This year, the two-day festival will feature both psychedelic legends The Flaming Lips and funk rockers (some of our hometown heroes) N.E.R.D. Dates are April 17-18 and tickets go on sale through [...]
Bright & Early: No Cars Go Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Cars seem to be the name of the game this morning with GM looking to cut the Hummer brand (proving that there is a God) & phase out Saturns within the next few months. And as happy as we would be to never see a Hummer again in our lives, this means [...]
Happy Hour: Take One For The Team
The governor of Kentucky volunteered to have 10% of his own salary slashed to help out the state’s budget during the economic slump. So… how ’bout it, Governor Phil? [WTVF]
The University of Tennessee’s Pride of the Southland marching band is inauguration-bound after being invited to march in the inauguration parade in January. This will be [...]
Bright & Early: Decisions, Decisions! Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We woke up to the news that city officials have FINALLY decided on a Christmas tree for us, which they’ll (and by “they” we mean our BFFs at NES) be putting up in the Public Square on December 5th. Apparently it’s been a rough year for the Christmas tree farms due to [...]
Happy Hour: We’re Broke!
We know the economy sucks and all, but what does that mean for Tennessee? Well, it means that we’re quickly approaching being $600M in the hole. Our revenue depends on people buying stuff, except everyone is broke. Including the State of Tennessee. [Commercial Appeal]
Beware of the Vanderbilt boob-grabber! [WSMV]
Tennessee is one of ten states that’s [...]
Happy Hour: Explosions In The Sky
‘Tis the day of toxic chemicals, starting with that gas main that NES hit which spewed gas all over Whitebridge Road and Charlotte Pike. One tipster even tells us that the accident left the Vandy kids without hot water for the afternoon (h/t Jason Tan!) [WKRN]
And also that one where the tractor-trailer dumped some sort [...]
