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 [...]

Scammers In Town To Separate Hendersonville Residents From Their Money

Wednesday, November 12, 2008

0 Comments

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

Wednesday, November 12, 2008

0 Comments

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 [...]

Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better

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 [...]

Sumner County Winners & Losers

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 [...]

Dodge’s Store Now Charging More For Gas Purchases Made With Credit Cards

Friday, October 31, 2008

1 Comment

What the heck is up with this? Pay with a credit card at Dodge’s Store in Hendersonville, and you’ll be charged $0.02 more per gallon. I’m sure this is just a way for the gas station to cover a recent increase in the processing fees the credit card companies charge them.  Sheesh, must every single added cost-of-doing-business [...]

Gallatin Police Determined To Help The Drunk Drivers Succeed

Tuesday, October 21, 2008

0 Comments

Gallatin PD is at it again, giving fair warning to law-breaking drunk drivers by notifying the public of another upcoming sobriety checkpoint. Seems the cops are planning to randomly stop vehicles and check for drunk drivers this weekend in the area of Hartsville Pike and Airport Road. This is the third time I have written about this [...]

Hendersonville Police To Crack Down… On Speeding

Tuesday, October 21, 2008

1 Comment

Speeding is one of those crimes that everyone does… like jaywalking. So this news should be of interest to pretty much anyone:  Hendersonville Police are going to crack down on speeding. I guess those roadside speedometers they’ve been placing all over town to remind you how fast you’re going aren’t doing the job.  Seems they went and [...]

Sumner County Republicans Are Making It Rain

Wednesday, October 15, 2008

0 Comments

Sumner County Republicans have outdone their Democrat counterparts in the fundraising department this election cycle, beating them by nearly $12,000. That’s not terribly surprising.  From what I understand, this has long been a Republican county.  But are they able to raise so much more money because there are more Republicans than Democrats in Sumner County?  Or [...]

Hey folks.  Thought I’d share some exclusive photos of the new Hendersonville Library, located in Indian Lake Village.  You won’t see these pictures anywhere else. I’ll write up my thoughts later, but you can rest assured that this new facility is amazing. For now… just sit back and enjoy a virtual tour via my fancy shmancy new [...]
