February 5, 2014 |

Nashville, TN – President Barack Obama came to Nashville on Thursday as part of his post State of the Union tour of speeches.

The President chose to speak at McGavock High School in part because of the great work local schools have done to improve student achievement and graduation rates.

Part of the success has been the Nashville Career Academies program, instituted by MNPS with the help of then Governor Phil Bredesen, which has offered the opportunity for many Tennesseans to learn the skills needed to join the middle class. «Read the rest of this article»

“Mom and Pop” Hilltop CB Foods Is Community Friendly

By Sue Freeman Culverhouse | January 9, 2012 |

Clarksville, TN – It’s a sad reality in our society. “Mom and Pop” stores of every kind are struggling to keep their doors open against their big box competitors. One store that is bucking this trend is the Hilltop CB Supermarket at 400 Highway 149. This locally owned and operated grocery store still has freshly butchered meat daily and runs sales that make it worth driving the extra few miles to take advantage of.

Wayne Hall opened the original Hilltop Supermarket, in a 5,000 square-feet building, across the street from its current location in 1967. In 1990, when the new store (then 12,000 square feet) opened where it now stands, Mr. Hall convinced his brother-in-law, Mike Jackson, to become store manager. Mike is still handling the day-to-day operations for the store which provides 50 jobs to the local economy.

By Blayne Clements | December 26, 2009 |

I  attempted no less than 10 times to use Kroger’s comment section of their website to inform them of an idea I had, but the website kept giving me an error message that my comments included an invalid character.  I retyped and double checked it dozens of times.

So, I thought I would post it here and see what happens.  Here is my unsuccessfully sent comment:

I worked for Krogers  during college, and I have a suggestion. «Read the rest of this article»
