This week’s East Nashville news column has more very-much-a-drag news than we’d like to share this close to Christmas. But some high points to buffer, too. On to it: Logue’s Black Raven Emporium closing We hate to open this week’s column on a bummer note, but alas, bummage is afoot: Nashville music... Read More
You have but eight shopping days left until Christmas Day, beloved procrastinators. That said, if you stay in the neighborhood, that should be more than enough time to tick off all the names on even a pretty sizable gift list. Since some of us here at The East Nashvillian might be among the procrastinator army (the many, the proud), we thought it might be... Read More
You might’ve noticed that this news column took a few weeks off, so this week, we’re catching up on some fun stuff that happened in recent weeks/is happening in the coming weeks, from musical successes to new neighborhood business openings.

We all talk a lot, in East Nashville, about the changing home landscape here — sometimes enthusiastically, more than a little of the time grumblingly.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are busy, pretty much unavoidably known ways to flex your credit card around the holidays, but an annual holiday shopping event that hits a little closer to home in a community like ours: Small Business Saturday, observed each year the Saturday after Thanksgiving. East Nashville is flush with well-loved independent/mom-and-pop shops... Read More
A lot of us, in recent years, have been making a focused effort to align our minds and actions more with the spirit of the Season of Giving than the Season of Getting. There are many ways in our community to push toward that, but one of the longest-standing ones: Fannie Battle’s annual Caroling for Kids campaign, which started in 1916, and in 2014, still helps that East...

Lot of the mutterings on the street this week were about a Kid Rock video (but not Kid Rock) on Riverside and bummer times up the road at the now-shuttered Watanabe. Elsewhere, we heard some news about new businesses and potential new businesses, holiday parties and more. On to this week’s East Nashville News: Clean plates and clean laundry at new Madeline...
