Chatting with Gubernatorial Candidate Mike McWherter

At This is LaVergne, we always welcome candidates for public office AND people already serving to let us know their positions on issues.  We are a platform to get their messages across to local readers via a method outside of main stream media.  Two weeks ago, I was given an interview with Gubernatorial Candidate Mike [...]

Fall Break is Next Week??

I just realized today that Fall Break is next week for our local schools.  If the weather is as beautiful next week as it is today, I may have to head over to Walden Pumpkin Farm for a half day or a hayride.  Maybe dig out a fishing pole and try my luck at Percy [...]

Open Thread Friday!

It’s been a while my friends!  Let’s open the floor for what’s on your mind LaVergne!  I’m thinking Little Debbie chocolate cupcakes are to-die-for …  I’m also thinking this may be a good time to open my membership in Curves!  What are you thinking about today?

Ding Dong! Or “You have Mail!”

I’m sure that you’ve all seen the commercials on TV showing some of AVON’s many, many wonderful products.  We have a very wide range of items to choose from and I would love to show you what we have.  Our Holiday items are here and there are more on the way!  From Halloween to Christmas, [...]

Pig in a Blanket

I drove by the house the other day with the pig in the back yard.  Yes… it’s unmistakably a pig.  A pig.  In a yard.  And I have pictures!

Here it is again…

And if you want to see what the pig looks like on video, tune in to WSMV- Channel 4 News tonight at 5:00 p.m. [...]

9-11 … Where Were You?

Can you believe tomorrow it will have been eight years?  Everyone remembers that day … even my daughter who was six years old at the time.  They didn’t tell them at her school – just dismissed early and then the parents told their children.
I couldn’t tell my kids, though.  I was working at a conference [...]

LHS Grounds Spruced Up

GUEST POST BY:  Doug Shafer, County Commissioner
School board member Wayne Blair and I got together to discuss needs at LaVergne High School.  The first item was the large ditch that runs from the Smyrna city limits behind the softball field across the campus to Chaney Road, and up Chaney Road beside the parking lot.  We [...]

New Forum (Look Up There)

David has created a new forum for readers of This is LaVergne.  It’s what I had in mind originally when I started the “Bulletin Board” but I didn’t have the time or the talent to get it going.  Eventually we’ll take the Bulletin Board down and transfer all “forum” type discussion over to the FORUM.  [...]

Happy Labor Day …
