| 4872. |  It's been a busy summertime for Nashville
Last week was one of those weeks that a publisher wishes it were possible to have two front pages! Not that it was a busy week for what we call hard news --such as crime or major issues. When that happens, it's easy to figure out what makes page one due to timing and the impact it has on the community.But instead, it was a busy time for so many great things going on in Nashville! We welcomed a new business that has "popped" into downtown, Tastebuds Popcorn. They have filled downtown with patrons, which has been good for them and for downtown. I must admit I was a bit doubtful when I heard of the company.
