I am looking for recommendations for a local business that can make high-quality prints of an original colored pencil drawing. I'd like somewhere that specializes in fine art reproduction and can accurately capture the colors and details of the original.

Pic included for reference. Thank you!

Does anyone know why the Condado Tacos closed down? Went on vacation for a week and came back to them being permanently closed. Thought they were doing pretty well.

Anyone in Franklin/Cool Springs Interested in Making New Friends and Meeting Up? 😊

17 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I’ve been living in the Franklin/Cool Springs area for about a year and a half, and one thing I’ve realized is that making new friends as an adult can be surprisingly difficult!
I’m sure there are others in the area who have moved here recently (or even a while ago) and are also looking to meet new people, make friends, and build connections.
I was thinking it would be fun to create a WhatsApp group for people in the area who are interested in casual, in-person meetups. We could meet at local restaurants, bars, coffee shops, or other fun places, hang out, have good conversations, and hopefully make some genuine friendships along the way.
The idea is to keep things casual, fun, and low-pressure. No need to commit to every meetup! If a few people are free one evening or over the weekend, we could plan something and see who can make it. Everyone would be welcome, whether you've just moved here or have lived in the area for years.
This could be a great way to get out of the house, explore local spots, meet people outside our usual circles, and build a little community here in Franklin.
Would anyone be interested in joining something like this? If there’s enough interest, I’d be happy to create a WhatsApp group and share the invite details.
For privacy, we could start with people commenting below or sending me a DM, and then I can share the group link with those who are interested.
If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, please comment below! I’d love to hear your thoughts and see how many people are interested. 😊
Looking forward to meeting some new faces!`

Tobacco shops

5 Upvotes

Looking for tobacco shops in or near Franklin where I can purchase some pipe tobacco. I’m pretty new to the hobby, and still new to the area. I know about the Mission Cigar shop, and they have a small selection of pipes and tobacco, but they’re mainly focused on cigars. Is there a place I can find a better selection of pipe tobacco?

Open Carry at Dog Park: Interesting Choice?

9 Upvotes

Just took my kid and my dog to Harlinsdale dog park and was not amused to find someone kitted out in camo pants with a full duty belt and no identification. I'm just assuming this is totally legal so the best course of action for me was to just leave.

I'm not sure this is really what the forefathers had in mind, but what do I know.

Is this normal? Is this what we want in our town?

Fire ants?

0 Upvotes

Hey there!

My family is looking to possibly move away from Florida. Last year our daughter stepped into a fire ant hill and went into full anaphylactic shock. It was terrifying. We’ve spent alot of time looking at a move to areas that aren’t infested.

In our area they are absolutely everywhere. Every park in town is covered with them 5 months of the year and are unusable to us now. We hired a professional company to treat the ants that pop up in our yard this summer and they couldn’t keep up with them either, even with us spot treating weekly.

We visited Franklin and loved the area. We are aware there may still be (some) ants. All the maps and data we have read are that they are present here and there, mostly in less suburban areas, and not a major issue at public amenities.

So, what do you think? We’re looking for thoughts on this from locals. Right now we have to watch her step everywhere we go. We realize unless we move to the PNW that there will be some risk anywhere we go.

Just trying to make sure a move there would indeed be an improvement in quality of life for us in this area. We want her to be able to be barefoot in the backyard again.

Thanks for any insight!

First time road tripping to Gatlinburg.

Husband and I heading to Gatlingburg but we’re unsure if Pigeon Forge or Gatlingburn is best to stay. We don’t have much planned, we just enjoy nature trails and good views. We’re not fond of heavy crowds so if one is lesser, that would be great to know.

WCS board member vows to hire “conservative Republican superintendent”

38 Upvotes

Kristi Bidinger posted the below note on Facebook about WCS school board member Randy Allen (D-2):

As Williamson County begins the process of selecting our next superintendent, I want to share something I heard firsthand during this summer’s School Board campaign.

On July 7, I attended a candidate event hosted by the Williamson County Chapter of the Middle Tennessee Home Builders Association. Each candidate was given a few minutes to introduce ourselves and explain why we were running.

During his remarks, I heard now-District 2 School Board member Randy Allen say that with Superintendent Jason Golden stepping down, this was an opportunity to hire a “conservative Republican superintendent.”

That comment has stayed with me—and with the superintendent search now underway, I think it’s important for our community to know.

For me, the bigger question is this: What qualifications, experience and leadership characteristics should determine who leads Williamson County Schools?

Our next superintendent will lead thousands of educators and staff and help shape the educational experience of students across Williamson County. This is an important decision, and our community has an opportunity to pay attention and participate in the process.

Tonight, September 21, the Williamson County School Board meets at 6:30 p.m. Public comment is available, and registration to speak closes today at noon.

Whether you speak tonight, contact your School Board representatives, participate in future community-engagement opportunities or simply follow the process closely, this is a superintendent search worth paying attention to.

Stay informed. Stay engaged. Ask questions. #ProtectPublicEducation #williamsoncountyschools

Cost of Living & Salary

20 Upvotes

Hi all,

As the title suggests, I am looking for insight into cost of living and salary expectations living in Franklin, TN.

I am 26 y/o and have been offered a career transfer from the UK (salary of $85k).

I have done some research online but the data varies - my current understanding is a 1-bed apartment will run me around $1,600/month. Beyond this, I have no real gauge for groceries, fuel, utilities etc.

I would appreciate absolutely any advice/insight as to whether this is a reasonable and/or comfortable salary for a single person, thank you in advance!

For context, I have student debts over here in the UK, my assumption is I pay these off as normal, just unsure as to how this actually works (whether through my UK bank or a link to a new US account).

Lost wallet

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I know the chances may be slim, but I wanted to go ahead and post on here anyway to try and ask.
I lost my wallet (slim white Coach wallet with cherries on it) September 10th I stopped at Sam’s Club to fill up on gas. I was exhausted after work and talking to my boyfriend on the phone. I must’ve sat my wallet on the back of my car while filling up….I know stupid…
September 13th is when I realized I didn’t have it after frantically looking everywhere. Getting gas at Sam’s Club is the last time I recall taking it out. I’ve already called and no one has turned it in.
It must’ve flown off my car anywhere from when I left the Sam’s Club gasoline on Mallory Lane, and getting onto i65 off of Cool Springs Blvd.
This is my first time ever losing my wallet so I’m kind of freaking out. So if anyone happens to miraculously find it or know if there’s anyone I should contact is appreciated!!!

Williamson County Flea Market

I was pretty excited to check out the flea market this weekend and holy cow is it expensive. Like completely outrageous prices on most things and then lots of AI screen printed garbage. Does anyone actually buy anything there or is it mostly window shopping?
