Bright & Early: Dreary Friday Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Last night’s storm system dumped about 1-3 inches of rain on us here in Middle Tennessee, bringing some strong winds and tornado scares along with it. The Nashville Electric Service reported that there were an estimated 24,500 people without power last night, but had restored all but about 1,140 as of this morning. [...]
Bright & Early: Clash Of The Titans Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Ol’ Bud Adams finally made up his mind yesterday: Vince Young is officially getting the boot. The Titans had a pretty disastrous 2010 season, and most of the chatter in the past few weeks has suggested that either Vince or Coach Fisher would be leaving the franchise, as the two can’t seem [...]
Happy Hour: We Are Just So Glad It’s Friday
For those keeping track at home, the little Russian boy who was shipped back to his country alone by his adoptive birth mother from Shelbyville is back in the orphanage. A mother of three adopted children from Wilson County has filed a court petition to become his guardian. [WTVF] Nashville has launched the Smart911 program [...]
Here’s The Deal: Post-Flood Progress Report [Flood 2010]
We’re finally starting to wrap our minds around the damage to our city as best we can, and we continue to have our minds blown at the progress that’s being made on the clean-up each day. We’ve got quite the mess on our hands and we’re dealing with it, because that’s what we do. We’ve [...]
Happy Hour: MILK AND BREAD, MILK AND BREAD
The trusty fleet of TDOT salt trucks are already hitting the road to prepare for that Gigantic Winter Storm we’re supposed to get on Thursday. They’ll probably be slathering the pavement with some of that beet juice we heard about a few weeks ago, which lowers the freezing point of the salt mixture. [WKRN] Governor [...]
Happy Hour: Down For The Count
Tennessee’s Golden Boy Vince Young was unable to finish practice today and left early to ice down that nasty-looking knee injury he sustained in Sunday’s bout with the Colts. Coach Fisher says he’s not extremely worried about Vince being ready to start by this weekend. [Tennessean] Oak Ridge’s geothermal technology demonstration tops the list of [...]
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 [...]
Bright & Early: ICE ICE Baby Edition
Good morning, Nashville. After a few weeks of uncertainty, Sheriff Daron Hall has decided that Nashville’s 287(g) immigration enforcement (ICE) program is probably here to stay. A new federal revision would’ve required that detainee records remain inaccessible to the public, which would be a violation of Tennessee state law. Nashville’s Sheriff’s Office has submitted that [...]
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: Are We Smarter Than A Fifth Grader Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Finally, we have some good news for you: a recent study by Johns Hopkins University showed that Tennessee’s graduation rates increased more than any other state between 2002 and 2006. Not that we think Metro Nashville Public Schools had much to do with this, but we’re happy to see our kiddos finishing [...]
