We East Nashvillians begin the process of dragging out the boxes of flip-flops and beach chairs during the first week of June. Living in old houses, it’s very difficult to find storage space. Part of the celebration includes dusting off skeletons of last year’s brown recluse spiders–while discovering a few live ones. School is…

Due to traffic backup from never-ending weekend construction on I-40, I wasn’t able to make it back to Nashville in…

Meeting all…
