Bright & Early: Yep, It’s Still Snowing Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It’s still snowing outside, somehow!

Good morning, Nashville.

Bright & Early: Digging To China Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Despite the fact that we’ve all been navigating around the convention center construction and road closures for several weeks, the “groundbreaking” ceremony is scheduled for Monday.

Several Metro Schools staff members made a colorful appearance at last night’s School Board meeting to let everyone know just how excited they are about their hours, jobs, and incomes being cut.
