03/07: On Wednesday morning at Cora Howe Exceptional School in East Nashville, an 18 year old student refused to be searched by the electronic wand, bypassed the security checkpoint, continued into the school where he eventually assaulted the assistant principal, Jonathan Mahaffey. The assistance principle did not want to press charges for assault. MNPD arrested the teenager on disorderly conduct, and he will appear in court on 03/23/2018. He was ROR’d until his court date after booking. Here’s the MNPD affidavit describing the incident: MNPD WAS DISPATCHED TO A FIGHT…

East Nashville’s Continuous Yard Sale & Why Won’t Codes Enforce The Law on Benjamin St? (Jerry Durbin)
The law on yard and garage sales is quite clear for Metro Nashville: “A resident is allowed no more than two (2) yard/garage sales each year, for no more than three (3) days at a time. More than two (2) generally constitutes doing business in a residential area, and is not permitted. The purpose for a garage sale is to allow a property owner or resident the opportunity to periodically dispose of unused or unwanted household items. Consignment sales are strictly prohibited.” With that ordinance in mind, and 3 YEARS…
Hop Stop Goes Greedy w/Paid Parking & Owner Jesse Hamilton Files for Divorce (again)
If your beer isn’t selling, perhaps you have to resort to selling the only other thing of value you have – parking spaces. As of Friday, we noticed that The Hop Stop is now charging for parking: $2 PER HOUR, OR $8/ALL NIGHT. And that isn’t going over well for the customer or the neighborly businesses who share the lot that Hop Stop owns. In fact, part of the lot is used with agreement by Mickey’s Tavern next door. Mickey’s recently even offered to make needed repairs to the gravel…
Business Beware: Konkrete Exterior Cleaners (aka Vence Barbee)
Perhaps when Vence Barbee named his ‘business’ “Konkrete Exterior Cleaners“, he should have kept the “Con” spelling – as in ‘convict’. Barbee has an extensive record, including a felony aggravated kidnapping charge, for which the police report states “he was aware they were going to beat and kill the victim” (see full report below). We are in full support of felons getting back into the workforce, and being entrepreneurs, as long as they are doing it legally – and not deceiving consumers to make money, avoid taxes, liability, and perhaps…

East Nashville Blow Up Doll Currently on Roof after Councilman Brett Withers Publicly Shamed Her
BREAKING: Early Sunday morning, the now famous blow up doll shamed by councilman Brett Withers publicly on social media was found to be on the rooftop of her building in East Nashville at 8th/Main. It was not immediately known if she as contemplating jumping, or was using the strings of lights to come to a more certain fate for for her now deflated ego. She was seen on Friday at street level, which prompted a scathing public shaming from councilman Brett Withers. This was the same day that it was…
Councilman Brett Withers Gets Bitchy Over Boobs
Oh Brett Withers, you never cease to amaze embarrass us. It was bound to happen at some point. An openly gay man in East Nashville was bound to eventually snap over fake boobs. No one expected they would be attached to a blow-up sex doll, though. That’s exactly what happened on Friday. You would think a councilman charged with a DUI, who has a life partner that was charged with growing marijuana with 1,000 ft of a school, would be just a little more laid back and chill about a…
Andrea Kimberly Roscoe: Cosmetology Without A License
If you are going to advertise that you are ‘licensed’ for a particular field, then you should actually be licensed in that field. In the world of open data in 2017, these things are verifiable with a couple of touches on a smartphone. Yet people still make claims, despite them being outright lies. I love a good deal on a hair cut & style – so when Andrea Kimberly Roscoe posted in the East Nashville Facebook group earlier that she was not only licensed, but would “come to me”, i…
