- Just when you thought it was safe to return to District 19, former Metro Council member Ludye Wallace (above) has to serve 24 hours of community service by Dec. 7 to avoid further consequences for an arrest on gambling charges. Will he do the “time”? (Warning: Wallace can run for the district seat again in 2011. Start preparing now.) [Image source: The Tennessean]
- The Metro Nashville Police Department has made a major dogfighting bust in Joelton, one described as a “near professional” operation. I’m glad they caught the ringleaders, but who’s paying to see this disgusting spectacle? Is Michael Vick a “former” Atlanta Falcons player, as the City Paper describes?
- The September fund-raising scorecard for the mayoral runoff election: Karl Dean $187,761 (not including $320,000 in his own funds contributed to the campaign during the month), Bob Clement $59,504.
- No more Kats, for the second time: Is the AFL team’s demise a good thing for the Preds or a sign of things to come? I think it’s more of the former, but I can’t ignore the latter. I prefer the puck over the indoor football, but I think the second coming of the Kats never overcame their original unraveling during a successful era at the gate and on the field.
- Start counting, Nashville: The Preds’ average paid attendance is 13,724 after two home games, 276 below the 14,000 threshold the team must maintain to qualify for the NHL’s revenue sharing pool and to keep its lease at the Sommet Center valid. Remember: This is a marathon, not a sprint. Shoot, wrong sport again…
