You know that show Prison Break? It’s based on recent Sumner County events. Okay, not really. But there was a sort of prison break in Sumner County recently. After a Sumner County court proceeding, 21-year-old Robert Tice was being transported in a van back to Davidson County… when he escaped! He somehow got free of his shackles [...]

Remember the Sumner County veterinarian whose fired employees had gone to the cops about crimes he had allegedly committed? Remember how a lot of the community came forth in support of Dr. Graham, especially in the comments section on the Tennessean article, angrily defending him and attacking the accusers? Yeah, well, that guy’s been charged with [...]

In the past six days there have been three serious accidents on Vietnam Veterans Parkway during the morning “rush hour” commute. At least one of these wrecks was fatal. A major accident every other day is not a good pace to be on. What is it about this road that’s causing so many wrecks here lately? [...]

The most recent accidents on Vietnam Veterans Parkway have everyone on edge about safety. One of the good things that is coming out of these tragedies is a closer look at improving safety on that highway… specifically the sharp curve where last week’s accident took place. The current talk is about placing cable barriers along that [...]

An awful wreck this morning on Vietnam Veterans (at New Shackle Island Road) has snarled traffic for hours this morning. Heading through town on Gallatin Road this morning–going toward Gallatin, away from Rivergate–the lanes going opposite mine were bumper-to-bumper standstill traffic. I knew almost instantly that Vietnam Vets was closed. From Dodge’s Store all the way [...]

The Mayor wants to push a 12% tax increase for Hendersonville, to help cover costs during this recession. It would result in about $60 more per year for the average homeowner. Wonderful. Not that I am mad at the mayor. Seems like a great guy. Sometimes taxes are a necessary thing. Nobody wants higher taxes, though, [...]

Sumner County residents love their pets. Two stories this week highlight that fact: 1. Heroes A man raced home after seeing a plume of smoke rising up from his neighborhood, only to discover it was, indeed, his house that was ablaze. Fortunately, his dogs had already been rescued by a peach of a next-door neighbor. Read all [...]

La Petite Academy in Hendersonville is closing its doors at the end of May, and it’s generally bad news for everyone. Parents have to find a new daycare… kids will have to re-adjust to an entirely new setting… and employees of the establishment will have to fight over what few daycare jobs there are left in [...]

Someday soon the city of Hendersonville will cease to exist. It will be called Indian Lake, TN, 37075. The Indian Lake Village development has gobbled up even more land recently, even though they have no idea how they’ll use it. I’m telling you, one day that development will be composed of more than 50% of the land [...]

Following Hendersonville’s lead, just as they did with the whole “build a brand new library” thing, Gallatin will roll out WiFi access to all the city’s parks. This comes on the heels of the move to blanket the downtown square with WiFi. I might give Gallatin a hard time now and then, usually for being un-American by [...]
