Posted

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — If you're still making plans for dinner tonight, there's a way you can check that off your to-do list and help out a worthy cause.

When this popped in my inbox, I knew I needed to let you know about it! Tonight is "United We Dine!"

There are more than a dozen restaurants that are a part of this effort today.

Just to name a few, Black Abbey Brewing and Salsarita in Nashville are participating up in Clarksville, you've got Gingham Cafe, Edward's and Common Ground Cafe all taking part.

If you go to one of them... they've agreed to donate 10 percent or more of their sales to the United Way which ultimately benefits more than a hundred local nonprofits.

You can see all the participating eateries here.

Meet Trashley! New commercial pays tribute to 1970s Tennessee anti-litter ad

You'll love her and you'll love to hate her! Meet Trashley: the bad girl of Nashville littering. She stars in a new campaign that's a throwback to an anti-litter movement from years past. Her role has been reimagined by NDOT as a fast-paced, Dukes of Hazzard-style wrecking ball of a lady. You'll find yourself cracking up as you meet the actress behind Trashley and hear how she landed the role of Queen of Trash.
