Bright & Early: Donuts On The Brain Edition
Good morning, Nashville, and happy Donut Day!

The plan, which will save MNPS an estimated [...]
Happy Hour: All The Small Things
We’re all about finding things to celebrate these days, and if the Tennessee unemployment rate falling one-tenth of a percent can be one of those things, let’s get the party started.

Bright & Early: Throwing The Book Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Metro Nashville Public Schools released enrollment data this week that demonstrated that their rezoning plan, which has drawn quite a bit of fire from civil rights groups like the NAACP, has actually reduced the number of single-minority schools in the system.

Happy Hour: Fighting The Good Fight

We’re willing [...]

We’d like to take a moment to pause and observe the above photograph of poor Punxsutawney Phil that accompanied the Tennessean’s Ground [...]
Super Cheap Eats From… Clear Channel?
We’ve just discovered that local Clear Channel stations The Big 98 WSIX and 107.5 The River are frequently selling really, really cheap gift certificates. With Christmas around the corner, we’re a little disappointed we didn’t find out about it sooner – But there’s still a few weeks to grab some gifts. And after Christmas, we’ll [...]
Happy Hour: Wall Street’s Not The Only One Getting Tanked
The economy might very well be tanking, but it’s good to know that somewhere in the world, Kenny Chesney is dreaming up a new kind of rum that promises a “vacation in a bottle.” We’re gonna need one unless we can find a way to bump CNN off the air for a few days. [Tennessean] [...]
