📰 In the news
Your photos in print: The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency photo contest deadline is March 20 for the 2026-27 calendar. Photographers can send up to 10 wildlife shots. Winners receive a $60 stipend — get all the details.
Progress toward full restoration: Downtown Nashville’s Main Library is set to reopen March 30 after the parking garage fire, pending final Fire Marshal and Metro Codes inspection, with browsing, checkouts, computers, and WiFi returning — get all the reopening details.
From hobby to career: OneZENO Games has opened a new esports hub in Franklin, bringing accessible competitive play and streaming to players 15 and older, plus industry skill-building for gamers across Greater Nashville — 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
Slice-worthy situation: Baked on 8th bakes pies that taste like someone cares, from classic pecan to chocolate bourbon pecan and salted caramel apple you may not share. Need dessert for, well, anything this week? Dessert dilemma solved.
Flowers that get you: Rose Hill Flowers turns “I should send something” into “who picked these?!” with artful stems and same-day rescues when life sneaks up. Trust their designers for birthdays, pick-me-ups, and just-because moments that make your people and your coffee table feel seen.
Route therapy, anyone?: Ropes, boulders, and auto-belays under one roof make The Crag Nashville your midweek reset. Challenge yourself, cheer a neighbor, then float home on that post-climb glow. Friendly community, smart routes, and steady progression… just the nudge to finally reach for that next grade.
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 →
What doctors wish every 65+ adult had at home: Physicians call it “long-lie,” and it’s the real reason falls are so dangerous for older adults. It’s not a broken bone… it’s lying on the floor for hours waiting for someone to notice. We dug into the options that actually solve this problem, and one stood out. See which one →
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. Check out my favorite online options →
