Hello Clarksville! Hope your coffee tastes especially good this morning.
In today’s bring-the-kiddos edition: Thousands unite against hunger, gold and silver are hot, and drive-thru tree seedling giveaway + excuses to get the fam out and about this week.
Today’s sponsor, Spot Pet Insurance, is something I wish I had before a late-night emergency vet visit left me with a $10,000 credit card bill. It’s cheaper than Netflix… and means you never have to choose between your pet and your savings. It takes less than 5 minutes to sign up – get started here.

📰 In the news
Thousands unite against hunger: Austin Peay volunteers packed over 600,000 meals during the second annual Clarksville Feeds the World, topping last year. They also donated 2,300 pounds to Loaves & Fishes — read the full story.
Clarksville scores major expansion: Trane will move its supplier to NorthPark Logistics in Montgomery County, expected to take 12 semis a day off I-24 and bring 25 jobs and $20 million to the area — 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.
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.
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:

🐾 One pet emergency can cost $10,000+
Together with our sponsor Spot Pet Insurance
Nothing prepares you for a late-night emergency at the vet. I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache.
From the initial exam fee just to be seen, to x-rays, surgery, medication, and follow-up visits… the bill racks up fast (to say the least). And at that moment? You’re not thinking about your savings, you’re just saying yes to whatever keeps them thriving.
As soon as we got home, I dug around online and ultimately signed up for Spot.
It’s super affordable and reimburses up to 90% on qualified vet bills. It was too late for me, but it’s not too late for you. Sign up today.

🫶 We got your back
Share-and-sip night: When the midweek dinner rut hits, The Mailroom has the fix: wood-fired comfort, cocktails on draft, and an easy downtown patio. A share-friendly spread for a friend or two, plates to split, and conversation that stretches past the clock… good food and better sips make midweek feel like Saturday.
Dial in your setup: Whether you’re tuning a bow for spring turkey or swapping a frayed string, Clarksville Guns & Archery has the range, techs, and gear to get you dialed. Friendly people, sharp advice, and plenty of options turn midweek maintenance into progress.
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.
Access cash without selling your home: A reverse mortgage can help anyone over 62 cover everyday expenses, support healthcare needs, fund home improvements, or even reduce pressure on 401(k) withdrawals – all while staying in your home. Longbridge offers a free calculator to estimate how much flexibility your home could provide, with no commitment required.

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.
