Greetings, Sumner Shortcuts readers! Just a quick note to let you know that the site was sold, and will soon be swarming with new articles from out and about our Middle Tennessee county. As PH used to say: Stand by… for news!

Hendersonville Vet Formally Charged

Wednesday, May 20, 2009

0 Comments

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 [...]

We’re All So Very Proud

Did you know they hold actual competitions to see who the best grocery bagger in the state of Tennessee is?  Well they do.  And a Sumner County gal won!  Woo-hoo!  In your face, Williamson County… with your snooty, uppity baggers who aren’t as quick and efficient!  Now, I’ve bagged groceries for a living before (briefly, and a [...]

There Will Be Weeping & Gnashing Of Teeth

The city of Gallatin has decided to crush the spirits of little children this year. There will be no 4th of July celebration in Gallatin this year–well, at least not an officially sanctioned one.  (Something tells me the backyard fireworks enthusiasts will continue to set off bottle rockets well past midnight, just as they have [...]

Church Fight!!!

Did you hear the one about the eight-person brawl breaking out at a Baptist Church?  Well, it’s not a joke with a punchline… it’s a Gallatin news story! Apparently cops were called to break up a brawl at the Peach Valley Baptist Church last week.  How bad was the brawl?  Well, bad enough that they had [...]

If you’re like me, you have nothing better to do with your free time than troll the local Craigslist ads looking for something strange.  If you’re not like me… thank God for this website, because you still get the benefit of reading about the oddities without having to put in the leg work. Here are my [...]

Cockfighting Is No Joke

If Debra Maggart has her way, cockfighting will cease to be a misdemenor and will become a Class E Felony.  She’s sponsoring a new bill that would do just that… and frankly, it can’t come soon enough.  This cockfighting problem in Sumner County has gotten way out of control. Wait… now that I think of it, [...]

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 [...]

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

Wednesday, November 12, 2008

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.
