📰 In the news
Chip-timed race with awards: The 3rd annual Clarksville Greenway 8K will be held May 2 at Mary’s Oak Trailhead on an out-and-back course. Registration is limited to 500 and prices increase after April 12 — get all the event details.
Advanced manufacturing on the rise: Clarksville’s Economic Development Council recently launched the Made Here in Clarksville series, spotlighting Heritage Steel, a family-owned cookware maker growing local skilled jobs with five-ply stainless pans made right here — read the full story.
How culture shapes history: The Road to 250 America’s Story returns March 18 at APSU with a free roundtable on arts, music, theatre and literature, led by Frank Lott and Dr. Andrea Spofford — get all the details.
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:
|
💎 Local business spotlight
Curtain-up close to home: Roxy Regional Theatre keeps downtown buzzing with fresh plays, cabaret nights, and the occasional cult-classic film, ideal for a midweek lift or an easy weekend plan. Lively bills and cozy vibes take over, while the troupe handles the drama for you.
Chicago dog fix, anyone? When the craving hits, Chicago Gyro & More serves proper Chicago Dogs, plus Italian beefs and gyros sizzling in plain sight. Perfect for a weeknight: a dog, shared fries, and dinner done without touching the stove.
A new chapter spot: Sneak off to Clarksville Book Shop, an indie hideaway with a walk-in terrarium, local-author gems, and book clubs and workshops that make weeknights less scroll-y. It’s equal parts pages and plants, perfect for snagging a new read while insisting you’re “just looking.”
\*These aren’t ads or sponsored placements, just some cool nearby spots we think are worth a visit.

🫶 We got your back
Your data is for sale right now: There are over 400 websites selling your info to marketers, political campaigns, and scammers. They’ve got your phone number, home address, relatives’ names… you name it. That’s how robocallers seem to know everything about you before you pick up. You can remove your info one site at a time, or pay a service to do it for you. Here’s what we recommend →
Why your last diet didn’t work: Sustained weight loss is nearly impossible with diet alone. Your body literally fights back by making you hungrier the moment you start restricting calories. That’s why more doctors are recommending GLP-1s. The best part? Getting them has never been easier. We compared three programs to help you find the right fit. See which ones stood out →
Thinning hair? Don’t treat the wrong thing: When my ponytail started thinning, I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, sprays, etc.) and not one of them lasted. Turns out, most products target the strand, not the follicle… and that’s the whole problem. Once follicles go dormant, they need targeted help to come back. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn about my favorites here →
Six figures you can’t spend: Most homeowners over 50 have spent years dutifully paying their mortgage, assuming the only time it’ll pay off is when they sell. I thought the same thing until I discovered you can tap into the equity you’ve earned whenever you want (without leaving your home). Overdue for a new roof? Want to build your dream bathroom? There are two ways to turn equity into usable cash →
