By the Way Morning Roundup: Gobble Gobble Hey

Posted by Tracy Moore on Wed, Nov 25, 2009 at 9:29 AM

Tomorrow's Thanksgiving, but folks are already flooding the airport getting ready to descend upon far-flung family members everywhere. Hope your neuroses will fit in the overhead bin! While you're doing that math, don't forget to check out the airport's "brand new cell phone waiting area, the free waiting area for pick-up, the two long-term parking and the new short-term lot." ... If your heart goes out to homeless folks, think twice before taking them your Thanksgiving leftovers: It's apparently illegal unless you've taken and passed a food safety course from Metro Public Health. And since the class is offered once a month, I'm guessing it's too late to take it this month. Instead, consider joining up with a church or civic organization already organized to feed the homeless this year, since those folks are exempt from this particular law. ... The road to hell is paved with good intentions, or at least the road to impeding progress: Councilman Charlie Tygard wants to help get more art projects throughout the county and faster, but the Metro Arts Commission is all, jeez, we're already doing that! ... Spring Hill Mayor Michael Dinwiddie said he would fire anyone who leaked info that the city's police chief failed a drug test. Well, it was leaked, but he said that doesn't mean he was trying to hide anything. Nope, nothing at all. ... Great news: 10 percent of Nashville homeowners are upside down on their mortgages. ... Nashville also ranks 56th on a list of dangerous cities, which is better than last year, when we were three spots higher on the list. Except, whoops, as a state we're still the sixth worst overall.

It is easy for those who know nothing of Spring Hill Mayor Mike Dinwiddie to sensationalize this incident regarding the Police Chief testing postive for using his prescribed TYLENOL 3 for a backache.
As a Spring Hill resident, I know this young mayor has done more for the city and has more faith in the future of our city than any in recent history.
As I watch friends and families torn apart from the GM Plant closing, I have peace knowing our city's mayor has supported the autoworkers 100% during this time. No republican funded news hype can change this pereception.

The Tennessean again calls out Gaylord, Emily Evans, and the opponents of the Music City Center project for continuing to run misleading telephone calls to Nashvillians. They have even stooped to pushing talk of recall efforts against Metro Council members that support the project . . .
But not a peep from the Scene . . .
Editorial bias?
