So it seems some local government types want to widen the bridge at Indian Lake Blvd. and Vietnam Veterans. I guess they finally figured out that the new Indian Lake Village complex has created some serious traffic problems there, and they’re going to fix it… finally… about five months after they should have already fixed [...]

Sumner Shortcuts has some pretty exciting stuff on the horizon, and we’re finally able to tell you about some of it. On September 20th, Hendersonville’s Rotary Club will be putting on their annual Festival By The Lake in Drake’s Creek Park. It’s filled with fun: live music all day, food, vendors, games, activities, and so much [...]

Shed a tear. Have a good cry. The Hendersonville Library on Dunn St. is closing today… forever. Permanently. Of course, you should only shed a tear if you think that’s a bad thing. I, for one, think it’s fantastic. I mean, it’s only closing because there’s a new, $10 Million Hendersonville Library is set to open in [...]

The big game between Hendersonville and Beech high schools this year will be televised. Sweet! UPN 30–now known as MyNetworkTV–will be carrying the game, which causes the event to be moved to tonight due to scheduling reasons–UPN is committed to showing Jaws tomorrow night. That’s right. An old Steven Spielberg movie about a shark is cause alone [...]

Hendersonville residents have had enough of the high gas prices!! They’ve been sending emails and making phone calls to the local state representatives such as Debra Maggart, anxious to know what they can do to avoid higher gas prices. And enough citizens have done this that they went ahead and scheduled a town hall about [...]

So 19 Sumner County Schools have asbestos. Yikes! Actually, the Board of Education says not to worry. Seems that asbestos isn’t as big a threat as decades of evening news broadcasts have led us to believe. Schools aren’t even required by law to remove it, but are instead allowed to simply manage it, provided its not a [...]

Susan H. strikes again! After a brief lull in her emailed pictures, I received this sweet shot of the Sumner sky. Nice! Boy, Susan sure likes the sunbeam action, doesn’t she? Well, it’s a fine niche for an amateur photographer to fill. Don’t forget everyone, the Sumner Beauty category is for everybody. Feel free to send in [...]

A train derailed in Hendersonville–I’m sure you’ve heard. If not… well… a train derailed in Hendersonville near the Rockland Road area. 17 cars came off the track, and some buildings got damaged. Honestly… it’s about the most vanilla train derailment I’ve ever heard of. No one got hurt. No acid was spilled. No explosions took place. Obviously, I’m [...]

The Gallatin PD had the local paper write up another announcement this week for an upcoming DUI checkpoint. Sweet. Nothing helps you catch drunk drivers like telling them exactly where not to drive. Again I ask… is there some legitimate–perhaps legal–reason why the police would need/want to give advance warning on this sort of thing? Because [...]

So gas prices continue to drop throughout Sumner County–and across the nation. There seems to be a bit of a positive surge in the economy. Exactly one month ago the lowest gas price in the county was $3.89. Today it is $3.44. That’s a $0.45 drop in a month. If that pace continues, then we’ll be back [...]
