The Week Ahead

If you are living in LaVergne and the surrounding area, there are some things coming this week that you might want to be aware of.

Woot Off

Ever hear of a woot-off?  There’s one happening now!  At woot.com a product is offered until it sells out, then another is up for grabs.  The bag of junk typically ends it and can be awesomely spectacular or awesomely terrible.  You can sometimes find screaming monkeys on a woot-off!  Shipping is always $5.

Open Thread Friday

Let’s go for another open thread today.  I’ve been thinking a lot about what Ivy wrote regarding marketing the city.  I found the whole discussion very interesting because we found a lot of positive things to write about and yet there were still very valid concerns.  Here’s another thought I have about boosting the city’s [...]

My Fav Chicken Place Moving

Have you been to Smyrna’s Chicken Shak?  OMG.  It is incredibly good.  We’ve had potluck meetings with the Middle Tennessee Blogger and Podcaster Group where I’ve ordered a pan of wings to chew on.  But I saw in the newspaper today that The Chicken Shak – MY Chicken Shak – is moving to Murfreesboro.
I do [...]

Why not change how LaVergne is marketed?

Then musicians, artists and writers started moving in for the low rents and cool historic homes. And some cool businesses like the Turnip Truck and some nifty bars moved in. Eventually, the area [...]

$555 from My House

I filled out my census information online and the city made about $555 – or $111 per person.  LaVergne’s fire department was out over the weekend trying to count people who haven’t turned in forms or registered online so the city can earn more state-shared revenue.  It seems there are people who don’t want to [...]

Miscellaneous Monday

I have a new listing on Lake Forest Drive. Go here to read about it!  And don’t forget about this home with beautiful decor on Bill Stewart!
Brandon Brewer has made the transplant list in Miami.  His Mom says they are looking for a “living” organ donation for his liver and small bowel.  His insurance will [...]

Reason #27 to Eat in LaVergne

Chip tells us of his Taco Bell experience in Smyrna yesterday. 
When she came back in to customer view, she still had her gloves on, she never washed her hands and she rubbed her hands over her clothing.  GROSS!!!!! 
As stated in the headline, it’s reason #27 to eat at our LaVergne Taco Bell!
