Neighborhood Wins Safer Streets | Nashville News

Neighbors in Green Hills’ Woodmont Lane and surrounding streets have won a major victory: Metro is lowering the speed limit to 20 mph and adding a multi-way stop to make their streets safer. After years of complaints about cars speeding through narrow, sidewalk-less roads—putting kids, walkers, and cyclists at risk—residents rallied, presenting a petition signed by nearly 130 people. While the new measures are a step in the right direction, residents stress that enforcement is key to making these changes stick. This win proves that community action can drive real, lasting change.

The Crocker Store Revived in Orlinda | Nashville News

In the heart of Orlinda, Tennessee, a 150-year-old building known as The Crocker Store is reborn—thanks to Dan and Debbie Green’s 23-year dedication to restoring this historic cornerstone of the town. Once the first store in Orlinda, it was built by Henderson Crocker, who helped shape the community by giving away land and even regulating alcohol sales. The store’s storied past includes selling everything from groceries to caskets and even starring in a 1986 Johnny Cash TV movie. After years of decay, the Greens rescued it in 2003, overcoming crumbling floors and preservation hurdles to reopen it as a vibrant community hub—proving that history doesn’t just live in books, but thrives in spaces where people gather.

Tennessee Tops Election Integrity Ranking | Nashville News

Tennessee’s voter cards now proudly display a badge declaring the state 1 in election integrity, thanks to a Heritage Foundation scorecard that ranks states on 14 election-related factors. The state’s Election Commissioner, Mark Goins, confirmed the ranking—though he admits he wasn’t familiar with the conservative think tank before they reached out. Tennessee’s high score is attributed to policies like its 2012 photo ID law, strict absentee voting rules, and clean voter rolls. While the ranking has sparked debate over who measures election integrity and how, the state also rolled out a new “I Voted” sticker to celebrate the nation’s 250th anniversary.
