Yesterday, we discussed a couple of the items that Nashville is trying to improve: sidewalks and bike lanes. But as my wife often declares, that’s not a real problem. She thinks we need more streetlights. That isn’t a priority in Middle Tennessee. Our streets have always seemed dark. And the interstates in both Tennessee and…

The game of Monopoly has been around since the Great Depression. It’s based on a similar game that was first created in the early 1900s. Before cable TV, video games, and the internet, it was a way to kill a lot of time. That was both a blessing and a curse. Games could go on…
