Taking The Pulse Of Sumner County Politics

Election Day is nearly upon us, just over a month away.  That likely means that many of you have already made up your minds. Those of you who haven’t will probably be tuning into tonight’s first Presidential Debate–which is “back on”, for those of you who hadn’t heard.  I’ve already made up my mind… mostly… but [...]

Not An Impulse Buy: Cities & Towns

Friday, September 26, 2008

Dude, you cannot sell an entire town. This guy’s trying to sell Bethpage or Portland… or both. Have you even asked the citizens of Portland if they want to be sold?  I doubt they do.  They might, however, allow you to sell a certain school teacher from Portland. Not only is it not possible to sell an [...]

Just what’s going on behind closed doors at Portland High School?  By now you’ve no doubt heard about Sandy Binkly, the Potland High School teacher of more than 10 years who was arrested yesterday for statutory rape. She is accused of having sex with a 17-year-old student sometime in March… DURING SCHOOL! Okay, first things first… you [...]

Kick The Tires On Hendersonville’s New Library Next Week

Friday, September 26, 2008

2 Comments

According to this article, the new Hendersonville library is scheduled to have a grand opening next week.  Awesome.  For real. Here’s hoping this city wakes up and actually supports the thing by… you know… donating money and using the library. Because we were already struggling with the old library, and this new one is twice as big. Obviously, [...]

Gallatin High School On Edge Today

Thursday, September 25, 2008

1 Comment

Gallatin High School is most definitely on edge today.  The entire city is, really. Rumors of a possible retaliation shooting to take place at today’s pep rally have forced the school to increase security and forced a lot of parents to keep their kids home today. I’m going to try very hard to steer clear of my [...]

The schedule has been announced for the new Gallatin-to-Nashville commuter bus service.  Beginning on Monday, the Regional Transportation Authority will run routes from Gallatin and Hendersonville to Nashville.

The Nashville Area Breathes A Collective Sigh Of Relief

So just about ten minutes ago I drove down Gallatin Road in Hendersonville and realized… “Hey, every station has gas now.” Dodge’s Store is selling regular unleaded for $3.58, and the Mapco across the street from them has it at $3.45. That was… fast. I mean, it happened in the blink of an eye.  Earlier this evening, on [...]

Daniel H. Congratulations to Daniel! If you’re wondering what I’m talking about… well, then you should have come out to our Xbox 360 Madden ‘09 Tournament tent on Saturday at the Festival by the Lake in Hendersonville. We had two 360’s going all day long with some nail-biting Madden NFL Football action.  But we also had t-shirts and [...]

Gas, Gas, Gas! It’s All Anyone In Nashville Wants To Talk About

The race for gas is on again, as the panicky idiots merge with the level-headed citizens (who by now actually have empty tanks) at the pumps. Here in Hendersonville, most stations are still without gas.  There is an Exxon on 31E at Rockland Road that has lines And there’s a Shell station on Walton Ferry Road that [...]
