left handed robber

From the City:   (La Vergne, February 18, 2012) It only took 37-seconds for an armed man to rob Jimmy’s Tobacco Outlet at 7:46 p.m. on Saturday night, February 18th. Wearing a blue hoodie, blue bandana, and light leather work gloves, a black man between 5’7” and 5’11” stormed the store located at 400 Old Nashville Highway and got away with approximately $300. The robber fled on foot. Detective Konrad Kaul emphasized the left-handed robber was holding a black pistol grip pump action shotgun. “If this is a left-handed pistol grip shotgun, it would be unique. If you know...

Congrats La Vergne High School- Linguistic Geniuses!

February 11, 2012

I got this news release and was super pleased to see our own dear LHS had done so well:   MIDDLE- AND HIGH-SCHOOL STUDENTS EXCEL AT 6th ANNUAL MTSU LINGUISTICS OLYMPIAD (MURFREESBORO) – Middle-school and high-school students from middle and east Tennessee competed in the Sixth Annual Linguistics Olympiad at MTSU on Saturday, Jan. 28. More than 80 students representing schools from Knox, Rutherford, Sumner and Williamson counties, as well as Metro Nashville, sharpened their language analysis skills by tracing the roots of modern English words to their Proto-Indo-European ancestors, building the longest English word following a set of rules,...

Steering Committee Meeting 2-6-2012 (Rutherford County)

February 7, 2012
By

I went to the Steering Committee meeting last night down in Murfreesboro. I must say, their meetings are far more interesting than ours, a lot of that has to do with the varying personalities. The full Commissioner meetings must be fascinating, I have been to only one but I have been considering going to all of them. After all, the bulk of the property taxes we pay go to Rutherford County, and the bulk of THAT money goes to the schools, something we should all pay attention to. But I digress. The reason I was at the Steering Committee...

How it works: You can vote once daily, in any category or all the categories, but not more than once in a 24 hour period. I took the top three nominees in every category except a few I cut out due to lack of interest. Voting closes at midnight on February 13th, the winners will be revealed on February 14th, because this is La Vergne LOVES! and we LOVE all of you guys. (even the people who don’t love us, truly) All nominees will receive a certificate, the winners will receive a slightly better certificate! Thanks for voting!  ...

“Outrageous” Water Rates Not So Outrageous

January 15, 2012
By

I’ve had about enough of the myth that the water rates in La Vergne are outrageous and the highest in Rutherford County. I read somewhere that a Realtor is recommending people NOT move to La Vergne because the water rates are so high. If that is really the truth that a Realtor is telling that, I believe the City should sue them because they are not telling the truth about our water rates being the highest in the county. Here is the residential rate schedule for the water in La Vergne: Gallons per month Water Rate Inside City First...

Merry Christmas, La Vergne

December 24, 2011
By

I moved here a long time ago. For a lot of people who live here, it’s recent memory, but for me, La Vergne has been one of the longest stopping places on the road of my life. I can’t say I was excited about living here, we basically moved here because La Vergne was the middle point between mine and my husband’s jobs. A couple of years ago I was actively looking to move back to Murfreesboro because I had really had enough of La Vergne, the lack of upkeep, the seeming lack of any codes, no public pool....

Restaurant Review: Maria Mariah Grill

On Wednesday afternoon, I had the pleasure to dine at Maria Mariah Grill. It is located on the west side of La Vergne off Waldron Road across the street from Fire Station #2. I had eaten there years before when it was a somewhat shady looking Mexican place. I was very pleased when I walked in to see the decor has changed massively and it is very classy and beautiful.   The menu had a wonderful, new selection. There were starters, salads, steaks, sandwiches, pasta, chicken & fish, desserts, and a section called: A Taste of Mexico. From A Taste...

More Redistricting News

December 8, 2011
By

I apologize for not writing more on this issue. I have been insanely busy and have been attending all these meetings but have not found time to write about them. Let me catch you up the easy way. Here’s the first redistricting committee meeting. It’s long and it might make you pull your hair out:   I can sum the whole meeting up with one word: stonewalling. There was a lot of it. It took repeated asking from Commissioners Allen and Phillips just to get the maps proposed by Commissioner Stevens up on the screen for people to look...
