Happy Hour: Inside, Outside, Upside Down

We can’t have wine in our grocery stores, but our elected officials with whom we entrust all of our important decisions will make sure we can have fish in our barbershops, dadgum it. We don’t really know where to begin with this one. Or where to end. We are just so concerned about the state [...]

Happy Hour: Heart Heart

Vanderbilt is launching a special free Master’s program for those who have their teaching certification and commit to teaching in Metro schools for three years. The first crop of students will start this summer. [WSMV]

Bright & Early: Eat Mor Chikin Edition

Good morning, Nashville. We hope everyone had a safe and uneventful commute this morning which may have included navigating around the overturned chicken nugget truck on I-65 in Madison. It seems that when semis are not getting wedged beneath overpasses, they’re spilling weird things all over the interstate. The accident happened early this morning and [...]

Happy Hour: Party Fowl

There was some serious turkey-frying going on downtown today for Tracy Lawrence’s 4th Annual Mission Possible Turkey Fry to benefit the Nashville Rescue Mission. We’re not sure exactly how many birds were dunked in the deep fryer, but we’re thinking it was at least a few hundred. [WTVF]
Related, Second Harvest really needs volunteers to help [...]

Happy Hour: They Came, They Saw, They Conquered

Tornadoes swept through the area today, reportedly killing two and injuring at least 35. Multiple shelters are open in and around Murfreesboro. [WSMV]
Tons of pretty shocking viewer-submitted photos and videos of the tornado are online over at News Channel 2. [WKRN]
Channel 4 has a detailed play-by-play of how it all went down, along with several [...]

Happy Hour: Stickin’ It To The Man

We absolutely have to brag on our friends Christian Grantham (Nashville Is Talking) and Frank Strovel for making it onto TechCrunch this afternoon after calling out the Associated Press for not knowing a dang thing about the internets. Well played, boys. [TechCrunch]
Our favorite bloggin’ state rep Stacey Campfield thinks that poor people shouldn’t be allowed [...]

Happy Hour: Burnin’ Up 4 U

The Jonas Brothers (you know, the band with that kid who dumped Taylor Swift by 27-second phone call) announced their new tour dates that include the Sommet Center on August 25th. How excited are we right now!? Okay, we’re really not that excited. [WKRN]
Never one to be left behind in this recession, a bartender at [...]

Catch Nashvillest LIVE On The Morning Browser… Bright & Early

No, really. Bright and early isn’t the name of a post (this time, at least). It’s the actual time we’ll be appearing on Christian Grantham’s (of WKRN and NashvilleIsTalking) Morning Browser show tomorrow morning. If you’re really a glutton for pain and suffering (and would like to see your Nashvillest editors in their PJs), tune [...]

WKRN Offers Cheapo Eats And Other Sundry Services

A while back, we stumbled across a little-known trick for getting local restaurant (and other services such as tanning or massage) gift certificates on the cheap. No, not Nashville Originals – though we love them, it’s hard to enter the fray at 6:30am four times a year to try to score our favorites. No, the [...]

It’s CMApocalypse (For Real, Y’All!)

We don’t really know what’s going on downtown… But we do know that it can be pretty accurately described as CMAPOCALYPSE! Our favorite endearing term for the CMA Awards rings a little true today as road closures, gas leaks, transformer explosions and massive power outages have plagued downtown Nashville since early this morning. A gas [...]
