So Gallatin officials are puffing their chests out this morning over a new report that shows traffic accidents are down 25% compared to last year. I’m actually quite happy about that. I am as much in favor of having fewer car wrecks as the next guy. So… hooray for Gallatin. Oh, did you want to know why [...]

Item # 34 on the list of ways you’re paying for higher gas prices is… increased ambulance service costs. Hip, hip, hooray! Because ambulances aren’t nearly expensive enough!

Folks in Sumner County can now look forward to a 20% hike in electricity rates starting on October 1st. Yippee! That was a sarcastic “yippee,” by the way. So, if your typical bill is around $100.00, you can expect it to immediately jump up to about $120.00. As if times weren’t hard enough. I mean… we’re already paying [...]

Right this second… at 7:09pm on Wednesday, August 13, 2008, the Mapco and the Dodge’s Store gas stations at 31E and Center Point Road have regular unleaded at $3.45/gallon. First [...]

The gas price elevator is still going down. Just three days ago we posted (rather excitedly) that you could now buy gas in Sumner County for as little as $3.77. One weekend later, and the same station is down four more cents. The Phillips station at Mallard & Main in Hendersonville, must have made a conscious [...]

Remember when the cheapest gas in Sumner County was at $3.86 for, like, three weeks?! And remember how awesome that was, because the prices had temporarily stopped climbing? Well… look back on those days and smile broadly, because gas prices in Sumner County are on the move… downward! Today’s cheapest gas price in the county is the [...]
