đź“° In the news
Voices behind the creations: Student artwork is on display at Clarksville-Montgomery County Public Library through March 31 for Youth Art Month, free during business hours, including an opening ceremony on the second floor — see when and where to visit.
Community partnership powers readiness: Clarksville Fire Rescue was awarded $33K for dive team gear, adding dry suits, boots, and helmets. The grant from the Gary Sinise Foundation will reduce shared equipment and speed responses — see who made it possible.
New safety upgrades completed: Franklin Street Parking Garage has reopened after nearly 10 months of repairs, including a new fire sprinkler system, restoring downtown parking beneath the transit station as city notifies contracted parkers — see what’s next for parkers.
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
Serious wing craving? Memphis-style whole wings, crispy seasoned fries, and sauces ranging from sweet to “text me when you get home” deliver the weeknight fix at Official Wings. There are fried cauliflower “wings” for the plant-curious, too. Big flavor, zero fuss, and leftovers that somehow disappear.
Restock without the runaround: Whether you’re topping up shampoo and heat protectant or playing with bundles, wigs, and lashes, Rose Beauty Bar makes it easy, with stylists who know their stuff ready to chat. Upgrade wash day this week and stock up on what works, minus the guesswork.
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.
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.
