The Conservative Classicist Says "Merry Christmas"

I rode the WGNS truck's courtesy float today in the Murfreesboro Christmas parade. It was intended as a ride for those siblings and parents of Cub Scout Pack 197 who couldn't march, but not many chose to ride it, so it ended up basically being my family and another scout's mom on the whole trailer. It was quite appropriate since 1)I'm thinking about a Riverdale JCL float with a classical theme next year and needed a good view of the route and 2)I'm a conservative blogger, and WGNS does broadcast conservatives G. Gordon Liddy and Michael Reagan. Thanks to WGNS for the ride, and the "real" Pack 197 float and cub scouts that were behind us did very well in the judging, winning best scout entry.

Jeff's is a Great Example of Smart Growth

You've often heard me preach the virtues of patronizing Premiere 6 rather than the new Carmike. Here's another Murfreesboro "smart growth" choice in the field of restaurants--Jeff's on Hancock. This fairly new restaurant set up in a preexisting building in an older part of Murfreesboro off of Mercury. The restaurant serves good home cooked food, and the people that run it are very nice. The chess pie I had featured a crust so light I thought the plate was going to levitate off the table. The smothered pork chop is their specialty and will make you want to break out into the old Joe Diffie tune "Good Brown Gravy". Try them out. You will like the food and are giving your money to people that care about their customers and their community.
