Beautiful day in Brentwood

Wow, what a beautiful morning!
And what a long night at the City Commission meeting. But that's OK because there's lots of fun and interesting news coming your way because of it. Check back throughout the week for postings on:

  • Our three newest firefighters. I have no idea why they're fighting our fires given their college degrees and really unique backgrounds, but I'm glad they are here nonetheless.
  • The 25th annual Brentwood Summer Reunion. This wonderful gathering of former residents of the Hardscuffle community is June 20 at Nashville's Sevier Park.
  • Questions one citizen had during the public hearing on the budget. And questions about why none of the commissioners responded to them.
  • Comcast suing the city. Guess they're just not getting enough money from their subscribers.
  • A shoutout to Police Officer Jeff Dooley for catching the crooks who almost pulled a heist at a local diamond store.
  • Why residents and businesses in the Cool Springs and Ravenwood/Kenrose areas and our senior friends at The Heritage can sleep better now.
  • A humorous redo of former Secretary of State Alexander Haig's "I am in control here" question. Commissioner Smithson asks: If the Mayor and Vice Mayor are unavailable, who's in charge?
  • Three and four way stops. Who gets them, and why.
And that's not all. Check back for info on a party at Spruce, coverage of tonight's 6 p.m. public forum hosted by our green committee and lots more.

And to think some people say Brentwood's boring. Little do they know ...

  1. Susan: I must say that I really find your blog good reading. Congratulations on actually giving Brentwood local news. I'll keep checking. I know I give you a "hard time" in good spirits on Facebook, but this is very good indeed.
