East Nashville Facebook vs. Reality: Eustacia Carnley Edition

Sometimes you read things on the East Nashville Facebook group, and you just have to shake your head and move on. And sometimes things just make you so curious you have to check things out for yourself. This was one of those posts. While we know that the job market in Nashville is very hot right now, and it helps to know someone; we happen to be one of the healthcare epicenters in the country. There are more open healthcare related jobs here than you can imagine. We have 2…

.40 Caliber Shell Forces Resident from East Nashville Home – Realtors Rejoice!

As seen on today’s episode of the East Nashville FB Group Live!, a local resident Tasha Thompson screams (bloody murder!, perhaps?) about finding a spent .40 caliber Smith & Wesson shell at the end of her driveway. Plot Twist: it appears to be near-ancient and has likely been in her yard for over a year! So what’s all this fuss really about? It turns out that Tasha Thompson was at the end of her driveway in East Nashville yesterday when the found (read: likely dug up, judging by the dirt…

Weird East Nashville Fetish of the Week: Step on Me, PLEASE!

In East Nashville, there is no shortage of kink and fetish, and we are quite proud of that – let that freak flag fly! Sometimes, however, one comes across a fetish that is just ‘so East Nashville’ that it can’t be explained. This week’s weird fetish certainly has to do with ‘restraint’ and ‘pain’ and probably some ‘authority’ and other fun things mixed in.. but it’s the just on the other side of ‘weird’ even in the fetish world. James (and we assume this isn’t his real name, since the…

East Nashville Merkin are Lurkin’…

We got a tip about a team of East Nashvillians this week that, for the lack of a better phrase, shook our wig! We learned about a group of people that come together for the love of the Merkin. They go out and search for the Merkin, they document it’s existence, and then they share it with the world! You ARE familiar with the Merkin, right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkin You DO know what Merkin are, right? If not, we’ll let you go explore on your own, or join their little group –…

East Nashville Mini Market: “Black people are what’s wrong with America”

Hello, East Nashville! Did we just go back a few decades? We heard from UPS Driver Ingland Tran, who stopped by the ‘Mini Market‘ convenience store at 726 McFerrin Ave, here in East Nashville yesterday – and certainly got more than he paid for. According to Ingland: Today while delivering to 726 McFerrin Ave (gas station on the corner of West Eastland), I was in line to get some items. A gentlemen in front of me was telling me about working for UPS. The owner of the store gets mad…

Postmates Courier: “will publish national database of low/no tippers, and not deliver to them”

H/T to @karmaofthewild for this tip! This -has- to be a joke, right? No, in fact the Postmate is already running a beta-version of this program for the city he works in. Even more shocking – we learned this was already the current practice in the Denver Postmates Facebook Group! Seeing is usually believing, but after seeing this tip, we had to go to the source, to confirm his true intentions – and yes, Postmates courier Gabriel Martinez fully intents on launching a shared system where fellow Postmates can report…

Postmates Internal Email Support Backlog: It’s worse than you imagined

Last month we got word that the backlog of email being sent to the individual CMs (Community Managers of each city) was beyond belief… in addition to the standard support@ / couriersupport@ backlogs, which were both over a week or more on their own. Here’s when the issue was first brought to our attention.. there was nearly a 14 day backlog before the email would be seen in the system, much less assigned and given a complete response – and if a follow up question was needed to complete a…

Bob Benckert – Another Disgruntled Uber/Lyft 1-Star Giving Driver? Rude UberXpert?

We have to wonder what is with rude Uber & Lyft drivers this holiday season. We started off with the Rude Uber Driver reports a few weeks ago – starting with the Uber driver that gave passengers 1-Star ratings for random reasons, and for not tipping him or taking longer rides and increasing his profits, and then there was the Lyft Driver that dumped his passengers for not buying him pizza. Is there anyone sane left in the Nashville rideshare industry? Let’s look at our most recent idiot Uber Driver…

“Fuckboys of Nashville Exposed” – SHUTDOWN by Facebook!

24 Hours after we received the initial notice from Facebook that they were shutting down the ‘FuckBoys of Nashville’ Group, We received another noticed that it actually had been completed. As of about 2AM this morning, the group was wiped from the face of Facebook, and is no longer in existence. Of course, like any good hate group, when one is taken down, 5 smaller ones pop up to replace it as the group splinters and smaller sub groups form, all with slightly different goals than the first. So the…
