Stimulus package money is coming to Sumner County! Woo-hoo! All our troubles are over! This article says there’s some group called The Nashville Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) that is going to decide how much of the stimulus millions allotted to Tennessee will come our county’s way. Sounds like we’re poised to have about $37 Million [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

I’m a Hendersonville resident. I’m also an NES (Nashville Electric Service) customer. Now, I don’t know how many other Sumner County residents are on NES service–probably not a majority. But there must be others besides me, right? I mean… everyone in Rivergate and the rest of Goodlettsville is on NES. Anyway, this is a consumer warning regarding [...]

I’m curious to know how many of you watched last night’s debate. Was the local connection (the debate was at Belmont University) an extra draw for you? Would you have watched no matter where the debate was held? Were you far too wrapped up in the mini Dirty Jobs marathon on Discovery to even remember there [...]

So just about ten minutes ago I drove down Gallatin Road in Hendersonville and realized… “Hey, every station has gas now.” Dodge’s Store is selling regular unleaded for $3.58, and the Mapco across the street from them has it at $3.45. That was… fast. I mean, it happened in the blink of an eye. Earlier this evening, on [...]

The race for gas is on again, as the panicky idiots merge with the level-headed citizens (who by now actually have empty tanks) at the pumps. Here in Hendersonville, most stations are still without gas. There is an Exxon on 31E at Rockland Road that has lines And there’s a Shell station on Walton Ferry Road that [...]

So now that everyone who didn’t really need gas–you know, those people who had 3/4 of a tank full but panicked on Friday and sat in line for hours to top off–now that they all have full tanks… it’s time for us good citizens, who wait until they actually need more gasoline to fill up, [...]

Another Friday, another self-fulfilling-prophecy on Tennessee gas shortages. The Tennessean served up a lovely piece this morning about how Nashville area gas stations were experiencing shortages. They listed 12 stations that were out. 12 of the 250+ gas stations in the city. Well what do you think Nashville citizens decided to do with this new-found apocalyptic scenario? [...]
