  • Hot Pocket Takes
    Daniel got booed by citizens asking for "healing". We have two new town commissioners, a new mayor, a new vice mayor, AND a new 400+ unit development that all of the anti-growth people are now suddenly and magically OK with. Let's talk about all of that plus- the hottest trend in Nolo since unbuilt lady-parts spas: #HotPocketTakes

  • The Real History of Shady Real Estate Deals in Nolo
    Today, we discuss 3 of the numerous shady real estate deals in Nolensville's recent past- including never-before-publicly-discussed info on the Publix deal. And, in what is becoming a theme in this show, you're going to hear a LOT of the same names you've been hearing in recent episodes about lawsuits, ethics investigations, and dirty election tactics. Speaking of the election- we also couldn't resist the pull to dive in to just a little bit more election talk, so we'll dedicate a little more time to that too.

  • You're Being Dense about Apartments

    Let's talk all about density and apartments... How dense is too dense? Why do we currently have a town full of the same 3 kinds of restaurants? Is there a way to attract the businesses we really want? How dense are some currently under-construction developments really? And how many apartments will actually be in Nolensville in the distant future? All of that and more on this episode of Small Town Charm.


    Note: This episode was recorded before the recent election. We will have PLENTY to say about it on an upcoming episode!

  • The Better Nolensville "Conspiracy" - An Oral History
    Hear the story of how Better Nolensville formed from 3 people who were there- and how it turned into For Nolensville. Maybe you'll recognize some of the tactics being used against BN- because they're all being repeated today by a couple of candidates, and the members of NAG- an organization that officially can't decide if it even exists or not.

  • Planning to Plan for a Future Plan
    The planning commission had a meeting last week. As expected, they somehow still found a way to NOT vote on the zoning rewrite. So let's talk about zoning, density, and a new level of creativity displayed by the PC at delaying a vote... again. Also Mike finally disagrees with Chris and Daniel- and learns synonyms for the word "timeline".
