đź“° In the news
Funding fuels citywide safety upgrades: Murfreesboro continues phase two of its walkability project, adding sidewalks from Middle Tennessee Blvd to Minerva Drive, signals at Minerva, ADA ramps and crosswalks, and a transit shelter — get all the details.
First Tennessee location planned: MilkShake Factory will open soon at 2615 Medical Center Parkway in Murfreesboro, led by franchise partners Jill and Kyle Mason, with free MilkShake Festival T-shirts for the first 100 customers — get all the details.
Where history meets sound: MTSU’s Center for Chinese Music and Culture is showcasing over 100 instruments dating back to 433 BCE, led by scholar-musician Dr. Mei Han, offering a rare cultural treasure in Murfreesboro — learn more about the center.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.
Highlights this week:

🏆 Gold and silver are heating up
Together with our sponsor American Hartford Gold
Gold just posted its strongest run in decades… and the momentum is carrying into 2026. Silver has become one of the most talked-about assets as investors look for ways to stay ahead of market volatility.
While many are still sitting on the sidelines, others are quietly repositioning.
If you’re wondering whether you’re missing something, AHG has a free guide explaining what’s driving the renewed interest… and how investors are approaching precious metals right now.
It’s free and worth reading before the next move.

🫶 We got your back
Crispy, saucy weeknight fix: Kickin Coop nails that craveable crunch, with meaty wings tossed in bold flavors, plus tenders and sides if you’re mixing it up. When dinner needs to just happen, ordering is quick, and portions hit that sweet spot between “I’m good” and “one more bite.”
Fresh, locally-made suds: Skin Joy Soap is a Murfreesboro-born, small-batch soapery crafting true bar soaps, bath soaks, and lotions with botanical oils and clean fragrances. No phthalates, parabens, or synthetic detergents… just elevated everyday lather that leaves skin happy and routines simple, sustainable, and a little proud.
Swing-friendly escape: At Cedar Crest Golf Club, smooth bent-grass greens and rolling Bermuda fairways meet a laid-back vibe that makes nine after work easy. Range time with a friend, a dialed approach… this is where that daydreamed shot finally finds the stick.
Thinning hair? It only gets worse: A few months ago, I noticed my ponytail getting thinner. I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, etc.) but mostly just hoped it would fix itself… until I learned that active follicles can permanently go dormant if you don’t do something about it. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn more about my favorite online options here.

Someone Googled you this week đź‘€
It may feel like an invasion of privacy, but unfortunately It’s the new normal. Whether you’re joining a committee, selling something locally, dating again, or just meeting new neighbors… people are going to look you up online.
Like it or not, the internet has a way of surfacing past mistakes and outdated information that no longer reflects who you are.
Thankfully, there’s a really easy way for you – or someone you care about – to clean up outdated results that no longer tell the real story. Learn more here.
This house is wild
This 6-bed, 5.5-bath stunner in Riverview Cove spans 5,079 square feet with artisan details throughout. A showpiece kitchen centers on a custom Arcusstone hood, quartz counters, and designer lighting, while a matching Arcusstone fireplace anchors the living room. A covered patio with fireplace and a 3-car garage join pickleball and a pavilion, minutes from I-840, shopping and dining in Murfreesboro.
