Brentaroo, free home tour, and more...

I'm wondering if the black stretch limo I saw driving down Concord Road this week was on its way to pick up one of our Brentwood superstars for a CMA Music Fest/Fan Fair appearance?
Love living here, love seeing the tour buses at Harris Teeter (guess all the new action at Brentwood Place made it too busy to accommodate them) and wondering who's getting on, who's getting off and where they're headed.
Love seeing stars shopping in Kroger and TJ Maxx and having dinner at Peter's just like the rest of us, and because they can, without worries of being deluged by autograph requests.
Love this place.

Don't miss Brentaroo on Sunday
If you didn't make it to Bonnaroo and the CMA fest is too much for you, just head to Crockett Park Sunday night. 7 Bridges: The Ultimate Eagles Experience will be in concert beginning at 7 p.m. Last week the Eddy Arnold Amphitheater filled up fast, so get there early. As always, bring chairs, blankets and bug spray.
You can learn more about 7 Bridges, and hear some of their music, at http://www.7bridgesband.com/.

Cornerstone home tour
Ever gazed at Cornerstone, the beautiful estate on the corner of Granny White Pike and the entry to McGavock Farms? Its owners are hosting a free home tour from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. today and tomorrow. Guests may see furnishings that include French settees, an architectural table designed with angels, Pembroke tables, Chippendale chairs, Russian cut glass and much, much more.
Your tour guide? Berenice Denton, estate sale queen. Park on McGavock Road.

Neighborhood sales
Speaking of sales, two neighborhood sales are being held this weekend.
The huge Brenthaven subdivision between Concord Road and Moore's Lane is today and Saturday. Princeton Hills homeowners will open up their garages Saturday from 8 a.m. - 2 p.m. At least 20 families are expected to participate. Enter from Franklin Road or Murray Lane.

Etta at Arrington
Feeling the need to break out of Brentwood? Check out Kelly Gilfillan's blog, http://www.outsidethebrentwoodbubble.blogspot.com/ for details on tonight's Etta James concert at Arrington Vineyards. That's the winery owned by former Brentwood resident Kix Brooks.

  1. The 7 Bridges concert at Crockett Park was very good. Huge crowd and perfect weather. The Brenthaven yard sale was a bit slow, though. We didn't get our first customer until after 8 am, which is late for a yard sale. There's talk of a do-over this weekend.
