Today's riddle: What is clean when it is black and dirty when it is white? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Federal judge dismisses DC BLOX's lawsuit over proposed Nashville data center, company has 21 days to amend (newschannel5.com) — A federal judge has thrown out all nine claims in DC BLOX's lawsuit against Metro Nashville over its proposed data center by the Nashville Zoo, but left three claims that could be refiled within 21 days. The ruling backs Metro's permitting moratorium and sends some issues toward state courts, after months of neighborhood pushback over building a large data center beside the zoo.
2. THC Drinks in Tennessee: Are They Legal, Where to Buy Them and What's Changing (2026) (herb.co) — If you're buying THC drinks in Nashville, you now have to purchase them in person from TABC-licensed liquor stores, bars, or 21+ hemp shops like Frugal MacDoogal, Corkdorks, and Clara Jane, with strict potency limits per serving. This statewide overhaul also bans gas-station sales, tightens testing and labeling rules, and could face another big shake-up when new federal hemp limits kick in December 2026.
3. MC Lyte To Launch Road To The Hall Of Fame Tour Starting October 11, 2026 (top40-charts.com) — MC Lyte is bringing her Road to the Hall of Fame Tour to Nashville on November 11, giving local hip-hop fans a chance to celebrate her Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction. The show blends live performance with storytelling about her groundbreaking four-decade career and influence on women in hip-hop.
4. Clarksville Has Tennessee's 2nd Lowest Gas Prices (clarksvilleonline.com) — Nashville drivers are paying about $3.93 per gallon for regular gas, as Tennessee's average price dips below $4 while still sitting more than a dollar above last year. AAA says recent drops in crude oil prices are easing pump costs, but advises motorists to conserve fuel and maintain vehicles to stretch their budgets.
5. Tennessee lawmaker calls for public hearing after Christa Pike survives execution attempt (wkrn.com) — A Nashville-based state lawmaker wants a public legislative hearing in January to scrutinize Tennessee's execution procedures after Christa Pike survived a lethal injection attempt. With a Davidson County judge ordering evidence preserved and Gov. Bill Lee already launching an independent review, families, attorneys, and officials are clashing over whether the state should try again or change its death penalty protocols.
