Hey You, Go Read Books Or Something

If you didn’t know this already, the new Gallatin Library is open for business.  Which is awesome, because now Hendersonville and Gallatin can team up to make fun of Portland & White House for being the only major Sumner County cities that don’t have new libraries. “We’ve got libraries, yes we do.  We’ve got libraries, how [...]

Hendersonville Voters Take Elections Seriously

Friday, November 14, 2008

When Mayor Scott Foster ran unopposed for a second term as mayor of Hendersonville, I doubt he expected to get every single vote. Surely there would be some write-in votes cast for various community members. But I somehow doubt he expected to lose votes to Mickey Mouse, Snoopy, Kerry Collins, Dave Ramsey, & Mike Ditka. A total [...]

Scammers In Town To Separate Hendersonville Residents From Their Money

Wednesday, November 12, 2008

The Tennessean has an article this week about a new scam going around Hendersonville.  Teenagers come to your door, drop details about your neighbors (names, addresses, what have you) along with a sob story about needing $20 for something (to help a local sports team go to some tournament or something)… and they are so [...]

Gas Drops Below $2.00 For First Time In, Like, Forever

You know, it was only 7 weeks ago that the cheapest local gas price was over $4.00 a gallon.  Man, things can change in a hurry, can’t they? For the first time in probably years, there are at least 9 Sumner County gas stations selling regular unleaded for less than $2.00 a gallon.  I did not [...]

Craigslist Strangeness: Dude, Stoplights Are Not Free For The Taking

Actual text of a Gallatin Craigslist ad: “traffic light this is a real working traffic light, sorry no pics but it is in excellent condition…” Um, you not allowed to just take those things.  I think they’re important or something. In fact, now that I think about it, I’m darn-near positive you can’t just take stoplights down whenever you [...]

Actual headline: “Voters go to the polls.” Enlightening.  The Pulitzer line is to your right.

Gallatin’s ongoing feud with Hendersonville continues this month with the grand opening of the new Gallatin Library. Hendersonville built themselves a fancy new library, so Gallatin couldn’t afford to fall behind. The new Gallatin Library is set to open Sunday, November 16th, at 2pm.  The event is open to the public. The project is part of the [...]

Well that was fun.  We should hold these huge elections more often.  It’s fun standing in line for two hours to have a chance to push some buttons on an electronic device that appears to have been built in 1982. But seriously, I hope everyone had a good election day, even if your favorite candidate didn’t [...]
