📰 In the news
Expanded amenities for 55+: Del Webb’s Murfreesboro community has opened a new amenity center featuring a 21,516-square-foot clubhouse, pickleball courts, and a pool, marked by a ribbon cutting with the Rutherford Chamber of Commerce — explore the new amenities.
Music City travel rush preview: Spring break flyers from Murfreesboro take note. BNA is managing heavy March traffic with more staff, new access lanes, tweaked parking rates, and the Cell Lot at 1415 Murfreesboro Pike — see what’s planned at BNA.
Strengthening community food support: ENCORE Ministry Foundation doubled food security grants to $100,000, awarding 20 Middle Tennessee churches aiding seniors and families. No match required, and next food giveaway is set for March 21 — see how funds are used.
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.
Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.
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.

Drive-in nostalgia alert: Snow White Drive In has been slinging meat-and-three plates, smashburgers, and hand-spun shakes for 70+ years, serving pure retro drive-in vibes. Low-key comfort, unfussy flavor, and banana pudding that deserves extra room… it’s the week’s easiest reset.
What doctors wish every 65+ adult had at home: Physicians call it “long-lie,” and it’s the real reason falls are so dangerous for older adults. It’s not a broken bone… it’s lying on the floor for hours waiting for someone to notice. We dug into the options that actually solve this problem, and one stood out. See which one →
