Marquee neglect strikes again. Jokohama Japanese Grill on New Shackle Island Road is actually quite a nice little restaurant. Some of the freshest ingredients you’re going to find in all of Sumner County. Too bad there’s usually no one in there. I feel bad for them. Maybe business would pick up a bit if they’d MAKE USE [...]

Sandy says this truck was parked at Krystal in Hendersonville over the weekend. She thought it was odd because the owner had painted his services and a phone number on each of the four metal panels at the back of the truck… instead of painting one big long version over the whole thing. You know… so [...]

Hey Burger King, 1999 called, and it wants its promotional toys back. Dude…. Pokemon? Really? You couldn’t at least get some Thundercats toys or a Howdy Doody doll? Why don’t you guys come on into the 21st Century with the rest of us. I suppose it’s entirely possible that they just haven’t changed the marquee in the last 10 [...]

Hi there. It’s me… your marquee. You may not even remember that you had a marquee, but you do. In fact, we used to have good times together, back when you would spell out words and form them into sentences on me. People passing by are looking at me, but you’ve stopped talking to them. They wonder [...]

“Yard Sale Canceled Due to Threat of Rain.” If the mere threat of rain is enough for you to cancel your yard sale, I submit that you were never that committed to it in the first place. I mean, aren’t all yard sales worried about the threat of rain? Was PacMan Jones coming by? Some other suggested signs [...]

Jim says he works in Hendersonville, and that there is a daycare near his work that had this marquee message for a couple weeks. It reads, “Please pray for our soldiers we are enrolling for Fall classes.” Um… most daycares focus on offering supervision for little ones… you know, toddlers. Now, I’m all for stretching the [...]

“When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears.” Everyone else… all non-righteous folk…you’re on your own, apparently. Sorry to be the one to break it to you (unless you saw this sign yourself… in which case, I guess the sign was the one to break it to you). If you’re already righteous… double win for you!

Sumner Shortcuts reader Jane T. sent us this photo last night. She lives in northern Hendersonville, and snapped this shot on Long Hollow Pike. She was driving to see a friend when this odd sign caught her eye. Says Jane: “The next week, there was another sign just like it, but with two different people’s names on [...]

Phew. Man, I’m glad to have that mystery solved! I’ve been looking all over for that missing oil, but now I know where it is. It’s at Jiffy Lube. Seriously, this marquee reads a bit like a ransom note. You almost expect the other side to say, “If you want it back unharmed, you’ll do exactly [...]

Someone “hacked” the marquee at Steamboat Bills to read a little more risque than I think Bill intended. I’m guessing it originally said something about scallops and/or shrimp. It now suggests a much more adult-oriented menu item… yikes! Also, how lazy were these vandals? I mean, they really only finished half the job. Makes me wonder [...]
