It’s Friday, Clarksville! Let’s finish this week strong.
In today’s can’t-miss-weekend-plans edition: Online P.E. study, a new skatepark, and Faizon Love live + a stacked lineup of events this weekend.
Today’s sponsor (FinanceBuzz) built a free comparison tool that helped me cut my car insurance premiums in half. It took about 3 minutes, and honestly… I wish I’d done it sooner. If you haven’t shopped around in a while, you can easily check the best rates here.

📰 In the news
Insights shaping future instruction: APSU’s Dr. Alex Adams has published one of the first comprehensive reviews of K-12 online P.E., highlighting access challenges, limited real-time correction, and reimagined gym spaces and increased family involvement — see what the study finds.
Openings across 40+ schools: CMCSS will host the Teach with the Best hiring event March 26 at Wilma Rudolph Event Center in Clarksville, seeking nearly 100 teachers with interviews and a 5% districtwide raise — see openings and event info.
Cooper Boudreau’s latest venture: Boneyard Skatepark is open at 1214 College Street in Clarksville, offering controlled sessions for skaters. It also hosted The King of the Bone competition on February 27 — get all the details.
Gold & silver are hot: Coming off gold’s best year since 1979, the momentum is carrying well into 2026 with silver remaining one of the most talked-about assets. Curious why they’re back in focus? American Hartford Gold has a free guide that explains what’s happening and how people are approaching it today. It’s free – and definitely worth a read.
Someone Googled you this week: Whether you’re dating again, selling something locally, or just meeting new neighbors… people are going to look you up. Like it or not, the internet has a way of surfacing past mistakes and outdated information that no longer reflects who you are.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 all that up – learn more here.
Highlights this week:

🚗 Are you quietly overpaying for car insurance?
Together with our sponsor FinanceBuzz
Auto insurance premiums have been climbing across the country… and most folks won’t notice until it’s time to renew and they’re hit with a higher bill.
The frustrating part? Loyalty rarely gets rewarded. Insurers adjust prices constantly, and new customers often qualify for better rates than long-time policyholders.
I learned that the hard way. I had the same policy for half a decade. Autopay was on, I saw the charges come in every month and never thought twice about them. Turns out I was paying well above the national average ($175/mo) for a single car… for years.
This free comparison tool lets you check rates from multiple insurers in just a few minutes. It costs nothing to look, and it could save you hundreds this year.

🫶 We got your back
Vegan comfort, Clarksville: Silke’s Old World Breads makes plant-based eating feel cozy and unfussy with naturally vegan loaves, cakes, and pastries, plus pizzas, soups, salads, and sandwiches. Weeknights taste better, brunches brighten, and everything feels homemade… all the comfort you crave, right here in Clarksville.
Treasure-hunt break, anyone? Warehouse Forty One keeps Clarksville’s antique itch happily scratched, with aisles of vintage, upcycled oddities, and unexpected pieces you’ll brag about later. There’s inspiration for a tricky corner, a conversation starter for your table, or simply a serotonin-boosting browse that feels like discovery every time.
Link up, wake up ready: Know Bull Beauty offers custom-fit permanent jewelry and pro permanent makeup… welded bracelets plus brows, liner, and lips that stay put. Skip the clasp and the morning routine for effortless sparkle and smudge-proof confidence from Know Bull Beauty, every day.
An emergency vet visit could cost you $7,000+ (ask me how I know 🙃). From the initial fee just to be seen to x-rays, surgery, medicine, and aftercare, it adds up quicker than a chew toy turns into a crime scene. The good news? You could get up to 90% cash back on your vet bill with this pet insurance plan.

Something in your house is about to break 🏠
It might be your AC, your water heater, your fridge… doesn’t matter. Every major system and appliance has an expiration date, and when it goes, you’re staring down a repair bill that can climb into the thousands fast.
It never happens at a convenient time, and most homeowners just eat the cost because they don’t realize there’s a better option.
American Home Shield covers repairs and replacements on most of your home’s major systems and appliances — old or new, no inspection required.
The best part? Select plans are 50% off now through March 9th.
This house is wild
This all-brick 3-bed, 3-bath on 1.7 cul-de-sac acres packs 4,138 sq ft, a dedicated office, a bonus room, and multiple living spaces. A massive window-wrapped Florida room with its own kitchen steals the show. The chef’s kitchen has granite, an oversized island, pot filler, and smart fridge. A paver patio, outdoor fireplace, fenced yard, and expansion-ready attic shine.
