Happy Hour: Life On The Edge
Some intense gang operation was busted up by the feds in Nashville and Murfreesboro with 64 counts of murder, attempted murder, drugs and kidnapping spread between the 9 members arrested. Three others are still at large. [Tennessean] Volkswagen has received over 5,000 applications for the 1,200 available positions at the plant. We feel this is [...]
Bright & Early: On The Ball Edition
Good morning, Nashville. As the first of the stimulus money starts flowing into Tennessee, the folks at Metro Nashville Public Schools are still waiting for their cut. At $15 million in the hole, they’ll be receiving almost $26 million in extra funding with one catch: It can only be used for Title I, or low-income, [...]
Bright & Early: Neighbors To The North Edition
Good morning, Nashville. As much as we’d love a snow day, we’re pretty glad we’re not part of the 500,000 folks in Tennessee and Kentucky who are stuck without power for the next few days. NES is lending a few of their workers out to Kentucky to try and get things back up and running [...]

Bright & Early: Only In Nashville Edition
Good morning, Nashville. So Tim McGraw, Michael W. Smith, and the Jonas Brothers walked into a bar… Sounds like the start of a bad joke, doesn’t it? It’s actually not too far from what happened last night–except instead of a bar, it was the Ryman Auditorium. The Jonas Brothers performed to a sold-out crowd alongside [...]

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 give you props. Just [...]
Happy Hour: Wheels On The Bus
Mayor Karl Dean took a bus to work this morning to plug the new program offering city employees free bus rides. And we totally saw him standing at the bus stop this morning looking a little pissed. [WTVF] The killers tomatoes are back, sickening another Tennessean. [WTVF] An Amber Alert has been issued for a [...]
Happy Hour: No Punch Backs
It’s a happy day for the ‘noogans! Volkswagen is moving in, which means lots of new jobs. Just not until 2011. [WKRN] Also, they’re so excited that they’re ditching their lawnmowers for goats, since the animals have done such a “bang up job” mowing the kudzu. [WTVF] Metro Schools is shifting around almost 70 principals [...]
