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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 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 [...]

Okay, well maybe not a cage match. But definitely a debate. All the candidates for the various open Hendersonville Alderman wards squared off last Friday in an open forum that probably next to no one attended. My spy was there, so I have the inside scoop (translation: I read this Tennessean article). Seems there were some [...]

Hendersonville had a little Hollywood-style SWAT action this weekend that most of you probably didn’t hear about. Seems a man with a pistol kicked in an apartment door at the Lakeshore Apartments around 5:30am. Thankfully, the Hendersonville police are quite good at their jobs despite not having to face regular hostage situations. Five hostages were released and [...]
