I was recently at 2 events at the Factory at Franklin in one day.  But there was so much more going on there that day than just the 2 events I was attending!  I went to the Factory to attend the Franklin Green Expo.  Local businesses are showing their benefits to help Franklin folks save money, a...

I have plans this week to attend the Jokers and Jackpots Gala for the Bridges Domestic Violence Shelter in Franklin.  This organization helps people who are victims of domestic violence or abuse.  They provide shelter, if necessary, court advocacy, support groups and counseling.  I am so grateful...

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting a former mayor of Franklin, Tom Miller.  We chatted a bit.  We were at a retail establishment in Cool Springs, which is partially in the city of Franklin and partially in the city of Brentwood.  I think that when we shop in Cool Springs, we don't think very...

We had the pleasure of going to the Farmer's Market at the Factory on Saturday. The crowd was great!  I was glad to see so many people out supporting the local produce, meat and flower sellers.  I did see quite a bit of produce still available for 10 am.  I am sure they would love to have even bi...

Here are the Williamson County Statistics.  The volume of sales in Williamson County for April were the best for April since 2007.  The Median price of houses is still down though.  It is good though.  We have to have volume sales before the prices can go up.  And many people have been taking adv...

On May 1 and 2, Nashville and Middle TN had some of the worst flooding on record.  The waters came over the 100 year flood plain to flood houses that never expected or probably even thought this would or could happen to them.  Volunteers got busy cleaning out houses and toting away the trash.  Th...
