Shelby Bottoms Golden Pheasant Alive & Well!

For many years now, a Golden Pheasant has roamed Shelby Bottoms, making surprise appearances, suriving the coldest of winters, and someone making it work (like any true Nashvillian). After several months of no sightings, he was spotted again this week by Brad Gavigan, who took the photo below. You can see our previous coverage of our local bird celebrity here: The Shelby Bottoms Golden Pheasant – from Bucket List Item to Mail Order Bird Bride? and even here: Local Artist Adam Hale Captures East Nashville’s Celebrity Bird.

Uber Drivers Say Some UberEATS Customers “Privileged” – Refuse To Deliver to Door, Keep Food for Themselves

Perhaps you’ve tried the latest on-demand food delivery service in Nashville – UberEATS! It’s advertised essentially as the Uber for your food – however the Uber drivers that are delivering your food are NOT pleased with being tasked to have your dinner and drinks as their passenger. When you order, you pay a booking fee of $4.99, and then you usually pay an additional surge fee if the area is busy, and of course that’s in addition to the cost of your food(Including any ‘togo’ surcharge or mandatory tip from…

Nashville Uber/Lyft Driver Marc Bills Says Protesters from Black College Should be Pepper Sprayed & Chained To a Tailgate

On Wednesday, around a hundred students from historically black Fisk University protested the election of Donald Trump as President Elect, and shut down traffic on several streets near the capitol. Nashville Uber & Lyft drivers were among the first to be impacted by the delays, and make their disappointment known via social media. Most were understanding, some agreed, some disagreed, but some were outright belligerent about their disgust of the protestors, and other drivers agreeing with them. Driver Marc Bills surprised many when he came out with his thoughts on…

Annie Storey: History of Domestic Violence Against Men & Lying to Police

Early Wednesday morning, Annie Storey took to her Facebook page, to tell us all of a tale about how she had been attacked, and how she was the victim, and within 24 hours she had hundreds of friends and acquaintances on Facebook in a virtual lynch mob, harassing her so called ‘attacker’, Austin Tice. It turns out there was much more to the story. This would not be the first time that she has assaulted a boyfriend – in October of 2013, Annie Storey was actually charged with Domestic Assault,…

Nashville Uber Drivers Refusing A/C This weekend (Or Charging a cash ‘surcharge’) due to Fuel Prices

Gas in Nashville, which on average only went up eleven cents overnight, to an average of $2.29 in Nashville per WKRN, is the reason that some Nashville Uber drivers are telling passengers they are either not using their Air Conditioner during rides, or are charging a cash/Square surcharge outside of the Uber platform, to give passengers a ride this weekend. With a high in the 90’s and a feel-like near 100, this could be a huge issue for most passengers. Have none of these people ever watched Mythbusters? Using the…

[HACKED?] Postmates: Customer Data for Sale on the DarkWeb?

Postmates recently relocated a lot of job of their jobs to the Nashville downtown area, as they’ve open up a corporate support office in our great city (with 11 spots still open!). Unfortunately,  we have recently discovered that Postmates Customer data is being advertised for sale on the Darkweb.

White People/Gentrification: EN Resident Gregory Lemley Finds Penis Spray Painted on House, is Afraid Thieves Have ‘Marked’ his House for Crime…

Gregory L Lemley recently found a surprise on the side of his home in East Nashville. Let’s be clear – Gregory found a (somewhat faded) penis, drawn in what appears to be spray paint. It wasn’t even a remarkable penis, rather just a flaccid attempt what what was likely 8th grade humor from kids out of school for the summer. At any rate, Gregory, who has lived in East Nashville for just over two years, lives in one of those neighborhoods that didn’t exist until a few short years ago.…

From the view of an Uber: Nashville Party Wagon Hoe-Down

Uber Driver David Aziz sent the following footage, taken in downtown Nashville. When we call this a ‘hoe-down’ it’s not just a random description. You’ll see once you press play.  Just when you think you’ve seen every variation of bridesmaids parties in the downtown tourist area, you happen up on one with a 20 seat wagon pulled by a John Deere tractor. This could almost be a precursor to Girl’s Gone Wild video shoot, and at cost of $500 for a two-hour ride, and you have to BYOB, we suppose…
