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!

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Some days I feel really bad for newspapers. It’s becoming tougher and tougher for them to stay afloat. Competition from other news sources like blogs and cable networks combined with a recession have forced many of the nation’s major newspapers to fold. The Tennessean is still alive… mostly. And that’s a good thing, I guess. I [...]

Here’s a fun little story about a local man who can’t seem to stop himself from drinking and driving. He loves it so much he’s actually done it six times–actually, he’s been arrested for it six times… Lord knows how many times he’s done it without getting caught. I’ve never heard of this guy, and I [...]

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, [...]
