đź“° In the news
Interactive tribute to game scores: Gateway Chamber Orchestra will present Power Up Video Games in Concert at Mabry Concert Hall on March 8, featuring music from Star Wars Outlaws, Journey, and more. Tickets are available — get all the details.
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.
Leadership shift after prolonged impasse: After more than 30 rounds, the Clarksville City Council selected Eric Claunch as interim Ward 2 representative in a Feb. 19 special meeting, ending a deadlock with a 7-5 vote — get details on the decision.
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.

🫶 We got your back
Pasta night upgrade: Casa D’italia rolls out cozy classics, from silky fettuccine Alfredo and baked ziti to rotating specials like pappardelle alla boschiola. Portions suit sharing or selfish streaks, and leftovers make smug lunches that survive your fork.
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.
Feeling chilly on purpose? Libertas Cryo bundles whole-body cryotherapy, cold plunge, sauna, red light, halotherapy, and compression into one simple recovery ritual, ideal when legs ache and your brain needs a timeout. It delivers a quick chill-and-warm reset that leaves you calmer, looser, and surprisingly energized.
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.
This house is wild
This all-brick Savannah Lakes home pairs vaulted interiors with a double-sided stone fireplace and a kitchen with double ovens and walk-in pantry. The main floor primary adds a sitting area and bath. Outside, a sunroom, outdoor kitchen, and heated pool with UV and automated cover shine. A three-car garage includes an XL storm shelter, and is minutes from downtown Nashville.
