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 Phil [...]
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 100 [...]
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 Bridge this [...]
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 [...]
Happy Hour: They See Us Rollin’, They Hatin’
Because our site was broken for the better part of today, we couldn’t post things like the above photo which was taken by our new hero brandonvalentine in the Belmont neighborhood. That said, we’re realizing that we’ve finally outgrown our hosting (hooray!) and we’ll be upgrading tonight so we can be back in full force [...]
Bright & Early: Hopelessly Optimistic Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Some folks in South Nashville were kind of grossed out when the creek behind their home turned bright green last night. Though the Nashville Fire Department seems to think the “unidentified substance” in the water is some sort of pond dye or food coloring, locals are still concerned that it looks a [...]
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 [...]
Happy Hour: This Is Not A Dog-Toilet
A Tennessee House subcommittee shot down a bill banning car passengers from boozin’ it up in the back seat. Somehow, we weren’t even aware that this was still legal. [WSMV]
Though it’s probably safe to say that driving around with 53 lbs. of pot in your trunk is still not okay. [WKRN]
Schools in Wilson County, the [...]
