📰 Most-clicked stories this week
Eight new storefronts planned: Construction is underway on Clarksville’s first Sprouts Farmers Market near Exit 11 after a groundbreaking. The store will open in early fall and bring more than 80 jobs — get all the project details.
Virginia-born chain expands footprint: Jack Brown’s Beer and Burger Joint is coming to Clarksville, taking former Tarboosh spot at 117 Franklin Street next to River City Clay, featuring Wagyu burgers, fries, and deep-fried Oreos — get all the details.
What voters should know now: Montgomery County’s ballot is set after candidates withdrew or failed to qualify. Races include mayor, sheriff, and School Board. Voter registration ends April 6, with primaries in May — get all the election 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.

🏆 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.

🫶 This week’s top finds
Weekend treasure therapy: When your closet or coffee table needs character, wander Warehouse Forty One for the good stuff… quirky finds, nostalgia-soaked decor, and just-right conversation pieces. It’s ideal for a low-key browse when you crave something unique without leaving Clarksville.
Links vibes, close to home: Craving fresh scenery? The River Club Golf & Learning Center offers a links-style layout along the Red River with flexible tees and serious practice zones, from putting and chipping to a lighted range. Bring a buddy, play nine, and leave feeling reset.
Movie night upgrade: Warm up your week with recliners and big sound at Phoenix Theatres Governor’s Square Mall. Heated seats, reserved seating, Dolby ATMOS, plus beer and wine, turn first-run films into a small luxury right here in Clarksville, where the picture does the talking.
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.

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.
