Kroger and the Vet

Kroger is BACK and I love it! 
Ok….I can dispell the “rumor” about Kroger pulling out. It’s just that….a rumor. I spoke with my contact at Kroger (he’s actually the project manager). He stated that equipment will be on site April 1. They are ready to break ground as soon as possible.
Thank you, Angie B.!!!

Scary Road, Scary Experience

I hadn’t read my friend Chip’s blog today, but found his post through Music City Bloggers.  You may know that he’s only the best school bus driver in LaVergne (okay, we have a lot of good ones but since he’s my friend I’m going to say his the best!).  Chip had a close-call today:
As I [...]

Shameless Self Promotion in Which She Throws Modesty Out the Window

“I’d like to thank Shamu.  And all the other mammals and the U.S. Americans.”
That would’ve been my thank you speech, but someone was smart enough to not give me a microphone.  I won our company-wide “Whale Done” Award today!   Named after Ken Blanchard’s Whale Done: The Power of Positive Relationships, the people who’ve been elected by [...]

Today’s News: Sunday

Someone who I think might’ve been from the Auto Zone commented that they were robbed last night.  Thankfully no one was hurt.  Here’s the comment:
Just wanted to pass on , Last night about 9:00 pm the La Vergne Auto Zone next to McDonalds got robbed at gun point.  No one got hurt. Robbers were 2 [...]

Music City Bloggers

I was asked a couple of weeks ago to take the position of Real Estate and Neighborhood Editor at Music City Bloggers.  Today was my first day to post there.   It’s interesting how quickly a place becomes home.
… when we moved here I was incredibly disappointed in the agent we had chosen to guide us through [...]

Knit Happens

It was with great excitement and enthusiasm that I saw this article in today’s Daily News Journal about how a caring group of women from LaVergne have a knitting group that make sweaters for the needy.
“Every crocheted and knitted stitch is surrounded by love,” the La Vergne resident said. “They are also life-saving devices.”  Since [...]

Total Number of Properties, by Neighborhood

Someone asked in the last “by neighborhood” for the total number of houses.  I have searched the tax database provided to REALTORs(tm) to come up with these numbers.  There are some disclaimers, though:

These may not just be houses, but also LOTS that are free of homes.  The tax records show who owns the lots and [...]

You Were Just Asking…

Mealand Ragland Hudgins just told me the long-awaited Parthenon Blvd. is to open on Friday!  Well, she actually nudged me to look at the DNJ online and there it was.
After nearly five years of planning and construction, the extension of Parthenon Parkway will open to drivers shortly after Friday’s 11 a.m. ribbon cutting ceremony.  Work [...]

Child Advocates Needed

When I lived in Lexington, Kentucky, I was always interested in working with the Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) program to be the voice for children anytime they were involved in legal matters.  Not as an attorney, but as a friend who sits down and talks with (read: listens) children as they face the unknown.  [...]

Give Kathy T Your Congrats!

Kathy’s too modest to post this herself, but I think y’all should know about the award she won:
Imagine my surprise when my broker John Mayfield called my name for the “Whale Done” Award! It’s given by vote from other agents to someone from the office who is always willing to lend a hand, help [...]
