Spider Pig, Spider Pig, Does Whatever a Spider Pig Does

Just saw this comment in the Bulletin Board section and thought it definitely deserved a place up front.
Didn’t know where to post this question so I found this thread and it seemed like the best place. I was driving through LFE last week and I noticed that someone had a pig in their backyard! They [...]

More Zombies Needed

I meant to post this two days ago, but work and life got in front of me!  Remember this past spring when part of a zombie movie was filmed in Smyrna?  If you missed out, it’s not too late to try again!  From the director on my Facebook feed:
FREE and open to ALL Ages!
SATURDAY MORNING [...]

Not Meaning for this to be a Commercial

Just skip over this post if you want, but I wanted to write about two people I’ve recently had the pleasure of working with.  File this under future resources, maybe?   For the sake of disclosure, neither of these people asked me or are expecting me to say anything about them online.
BUT… I recently experienced a [...]

Survey: Police Substation

A friend of mine told me the city has a new survey up on the web page …
Do you think the Police Substation in Lake Forest has been a positive thing for the community?
I only wish there was a comment section.

Recommended Viewing: Gangland

Reader Sherry submitted this information to share:

I happened to stumble across a show tonight on the History Channel about gangs in Nashville.  It’s called “Gangland: Hunt and Kill.”  I’ve seen episodes of the series before, but didn’t realize they’d filmed one here locally.  We all know there are gang issues in Nashville, but this show traces their origins [...]

Quick Housing Stat

I was curious tonight so ran a quick number from our local MLS …
Did you know that right now there are 55 homes in LaVergne priced at $100,000 or less (active listings).
Six have contracts on them.
Most are three bedroom, two bath houses with an average of 1200 square feet.  Unless I miscounted (which is possible [...]

Dog Biscuits

Not that it’s just about pets here, but my friend Fortune Cookies – one of our writers here – posted something on her facebook the other day about filling an order for Sunny Dog Snacks.   I’m hoping she’ll comment here to tell about this service, but if you’re looking for organic (?) snacks for your [...]

Abandoned Pets ARE More Commonplace

Have you noticed a larger than normal number of pets in your neighborhood roaming free?  We’ve definitely seen more dogs in my own ‘hood – especially beagles it seems.  While I believe the pets in our neighborhood have been dumped, many could be abandoned by homeowners as they’ve moved out.  I’ll never understand how someone [...]
