Can anyone tell me exactly what goes in Trailer Trash?  If you have no idea what I'm talking about, that's OK.  You're obviously new to Nashville and by the end of this summer, you're destined to find out.  If you do know what I'm talking about, you probably know that question is as hard as calculus to a 3rd grader (or a college student in my case). Trailer... [Read more...]

She's Out of My League In this outrageous comedy, Kirk, an average guy, can’t believe his luck when the successful and gorgeous babe Molly falls for him.

Father's Day is coming up, right?  So what do you get for a dad who has everything (or mostly everything)?  Answer: you get him a piece of art or something that you think he would appreciate but probably wouldn't take the time to get for himself.  That makes the timing of the 40th annual American Artisan Festival this weekend perfect!  Spend the weekend browing... [Read more...]

Is there anyone else here that is absolutely excited about The A-Team hitting the silver screen?  B.A. Baracus himself couldn't stop me from seeing it in the theatre this weekend. The A-Team is classic Americana. Intelligence, teamwork, rebeliousness, guts and a flashy paint job on some good ol' American muscle...that's The A-Team in a nutshell.  I remember... [Read more...]

I'm sure there are a handful of you out there at Stewart's Ferry who will be making the trip down to Manchester, TN (about an hour or so from Nashville) this weekend for the now world-famous Bonnaroo Music Festival.  And why wouldn't you?  Bonnaroo has become Tennessee's...no, make that the Southeast's...actually, let's call it one of the USA's summertime... [Read more...]

Let’s face it, Stewarts Ferry.  No one likes to do all of their chores.  Sure, some don’t mind washing dishes.  But those same people probably HATE doing laundry.  Take our latest poll (in the right column) and let us know which TWO chores you least look forward to doing. Read More →

Hey all out there in Stewarts Ferry Land!  I just saw this great article about local farmer's markets.  I've blogged before about the importance of sustainable living and eating local produce. This article gives further details about which are the best markets to go to in the area. It's often remarked that a great library makes a great city, but you could... [Read more...]
