Spring is in the air…lots of hangover excitement from recent Super Tuesday election returns. Whatever your partisan/non partisan preference, the overall attitude seems to be economic recovery is a priority.
For those of us in business, this message is well received. In an area of continuous growth from retirees moving into the area, various industries checking out the community, service and professional organizations are filling in the corners and helping to create a more healthy local economy. I anticipate a banner year for business in Tennessee, and we are ready!
From a more local perspective, the proposed wheel tax referendum on the ballot did fail, which simply means the local voters feel there are monies enough to support all the services, among those being infrastructure and education, that is provided through property and local sales tax revenues.
Your thoughts on this…..?

Granted, the food gets our attention, but could it be that in this era of high technology, impersonal lifestyles, and just down right busy-ness, people really do need people?? These festivities make every face we meet seem like friends and family, giving one that old-fashioned feeling of belonging in this relaxing place.
The interaction and enjoyment of being with good friends and neighbors, making new friends, sharing good food and good times…is this what we are about? I think maybe it is….your thoughts?

CONS: Horrendous traffic situations, including fender benders & danger of pedestrians being struck by oncoming automobiles (especially small children & elderly adults).
Some of the vendors sit up shop a week early, and hang on for days after the scheduled sale.

Also, just wondering if local retail merchants have more or less business during this time…seemed to be lots of shoppers in most of the retail stores in our area, but could this be due to the tax free weekend and beginning of the school year with shoppers looking for school related items??
I did notice that the campgrounds were full with RV’s and campers, also the restaurants were extremely busy…so is it a good thing for our area…our merchants…our residents??
]]> http://www.thirdtnrealty.com/thirdtnblog/index.php?entry=entry070725-115844 Seal of Approval from the American Association of Retirement Communities , only the second community in the state to earn this prestigious designation. This area has long been a favorite destination for retirees, and as one of our local officials stated during the ceremony “whether a native by birth or choice, everyone is accepted as a part of our community.”
Is this the general consensus of all the people moving into the county? Does everyone feel as if they are accepted as a part of the community, and have been welcomed as such? On the other side of this coin, do the “blue blood locals” also feel accepted by the people moving into the community? Is this marriage working well to strengthen and enhance the community? I personally think so…what about you?
