Get thyself to the library!

It's raining and dreary outside, but let's just enjoy it for a while.
Want to make sure everyone in Brentwood knows the Brentwood Library is unveiling its major expansion and renovation project this Saturday, from 10am to 1 pm.
You can find out all about it, plus get a sneak peek with our slideshow, at Brentwood Home Page (www.brentwoodhomepage.com) today. And while you're there, see how many Brentwood entrepreneurs are being honored tonight by the Nashville Chamber of Commerce, catch up with our columnists, check out our Race for the Cure page (you know the huge event is moving to Brentwood this year, right??!), the latest school news and more.
Oh, and don't forget your umbrella if you're headed out. The Brentwood forecast, according to the Accuweather forecast at BHP calls for a thunderstorm around noon Wednesday!

A king is coming to Brentwood!

Greetings all!
I hope you've been following BrentWord over at www.brentwoodhomepage.com but if not, thought I'd share a few highlights from columns I've written this week:
  • A real King (and his queen) is coming to Brentwood next month. You learn amazing things when you spend a Happy Hour with Mayor Betsy Crossley.
  • The 'Secret Life' of teen sex, teen pregnancy and teen parenting threw a loop in plans to get ready for a teen flower party.
  • The city's Parks Director Dave Bunt and his bride Jennifer celebrated Labor Day the old-fashioned way: By celebrating the labor and delivery of son Parker.
  • Brentwood lost a talented treasure last week but her friends at The Martin Center are going to make sure she's not forgotten.
  • And my most recent: Did you know mastodons once roamed Brentwood? It's true!

Follow this link to BrentWord columns on BHP. And please help us spread the word about Brentwood's only independent, exclusive news source by and for people who live here.

Today at Brentwood Home Page

Happy Thursday!
The sun returned this afternoon, just in time for some Thursday night football. Ravenwood's playing at home; the Titans are playing downtown, and college ball is on TV. And, of course, the 'Dores are going to take it to Western Carolina on Saturday!
Today at Brentwood Home Page, you'll find our second slide show. We may just get good at it if we keep trying. This one features pictures of the incredible new library at Brentwood High School. OK, it's not entirely new but it could be. Check it out.
In BrentWord, I share a few of my favorite Facebook friends thoughts. Hope they don't mind.
Dr. Jim Wellborn starts his new parenting column that's all about parenting TEENS. Yes, we still need some help and advice even when the kids get older. In fact, we need more of it.
Jill Burgin has new column on what she didn't do over summer vacation.
And there are lots of new postings on our inside sections, many of them contributed by readers like you.
So, there you have it. If you haven't checked out www.brentwoodhomepage.com, you can now. We're putting new stories up everyday. Please sign in so you can start getting our email blasts. Actually, sign up even if you are already getting the email blasts.
