I have to confess that I don’t follow high school sports very much. It’s certainly not because I don’t enjoy sports… but there are so many high schools that it’s hard to keep up. Additionally, I went to high school in another state, so I don’t have that hometown alumni thing going on. But I was [...]

$3.86 The Mapco in Gallatin, on Greensboro Drive, is the king of the heap today. While everyone else in the county has jumped up to $3.88 or higher, this station stays pat at $3.86. And if you’re anywhere near that station, and need some gas, I’d zip over and top off the tank. The odds of any [...]

Since when did Craigslist become a place to beg people to come haul away your junk? Is this going on everywhere, or just in Sumner County? Probably everywhere, I guess. That’s depressing. Here’s a brief sampling of some recent ads related to Sumner County, where people are offering something for free in a thinly veiled attempt [...]

Actual headline: “Kittens Overwhelm Sumner County Shelters.” I can’t help but giggle about that. I picture that big battle scene in The Two Towers, where all the orcs are converging on the castle walls–only instead of orcs… it’s kittens. If the numbers are high enough, even a horde of kittens could be deadly. They don’t even need [...]

With the Fourth of July holiday weekend coming up, we thought it’d be a useful thing to highlight all the places you can go to see a fireworks show in the Sumner County area. There are plenty to choose from, with most communities in the county putting on their own shindig. And with Hendersonville’s tradition of [...]

Some people like to brag about how big their house is. Others will boast about the size of their bank accounts. A lot of athletic people will talk constantly of how large their muscles are. Then there’s that final sliver of the population that prefers to measure their worth by the size and height of the [...]

“In desperate need for roofin tools.” I can’t tell if the author is trying to type like a southerner or if the need is so desperate that the rules of grammar went out the window. But if you have that urgent a need… maybe a Craigslist post isn’t the way to go. It takes several minutes before [...]
