NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — If you're headed out for one last summer vacation this Labor Day weekend, you've got some company!

Meanwhile, if you're driving this weekend, AAA says the best time to hit the road today is before noon or after 7 p.m.

Fundraising underway for Tina Turner statue to be placed in Brownsville park

Fundraising efforts are underway in Brownsville and Nutbush, TN to build a statue for a major superstar who was raised there, Anna Mae Bullock. You probably know her by her stage name, Tina Turner. I was a huge fan of Tina and glad to see efforts are underway to showcase more of her ties to West Tennessee.
