EP: 1: "The First One"

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,380
Howdy, and welcome to the first episode of Hello Fairview, your local podcast made right

2
00:00:08,380 --> 00:00:12,080
here in Fairview for the people in Fairview and surrounding areas.

3
00:00:12,180 --> 00:00:15,860
This will be a weekly show released every Wednesday featuring stories that aim to inform

4
00:00:15,860 --> 00:00:18,600
you about things going on and possibly inspire you.

5
00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:24,700
Local radio stations don't exist in small towns like ours, so we'll use Hello Fairview

6
00:00:24,700 --> 00:00:29,060
to fill that void with news related to Fairview.

7
00:00:29,060 --> 00:00:34,420
This is a value for value podcast, which means you contribute whatever you can based on the value you receive.

8
00:00:34,660 --> 00:00:42,380
This concept was founded by the podfather himself, Adam Curry, and his co-host John C. Dvorak on the No Agenda show almost 18 years ago.

9
00:00:43,060 --> 00:00:44,960
Currently, this is just a one-man band.

10
00:00:45,740 --> 00:00:49,960
So if you have any ideas, events, or business opportunities, or job openings, let me know.

11
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:51,580
Use the contact form on the website.

12
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:53,800
You are a producer of this show.

13
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:59,940
You are not the product because your time and attention are not being sold to some advertiser for their value.

14
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:05,680
Some of these shows may be longer, some of them may be shorter, but I'll do my best to keep things relevant.

15
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:09,000
So let's go ahead and move into our growing town stuff.

16
00:01:09,620 --> 00:01:14,080
There were some board of commissioner meetings, planning commissioner meetings, as always.

17
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:19,240
In simple terms, you know, those are more approved houses were approved.

18
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:28,180
Big news in the city is that the proposed racetrack in the Firmville area was declined for its conditional use.

19
00:01:29,500 --> 00:01:37,740
And Board of Commissioner meetings are held the first and third Thursdays of each month at 7 p.m. at City Hall.

20
00:01:37,860 --> 00:01:41,940
Sometimes there's planning commission meetings around there and zoning appeal boards.

21
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:43,840
So that was the big one.

22
00:01:44,340 --> 00:01:47,160
Board zoning appeals September 4th.

23
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:48,460
This was the hot potato.

24
00:01:49,140 --> 00:01:50,420
Everybody was in the house.

25
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:51,440
It was completely full.

26
00:01:51,540 --> 00:01:54,000
It was the biggest I've ever seen it other than, I guess,

27
00:01:54,060 --> 00:01:58,520
maybe some of the football championships we've won when they came for the awards and recognitions.

28
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:04,940
But Mr. Walker Lund was seeking conditional use permit for a rural retreat

29
00:02:04,940 --> 00:02:11,740
when the owner is Green Springs Prop LLC with aggregational use

30
00:02:11,740 --> 00:02:15,820
and nature trails, vehicle, garage, and amphitheater, clubhouse,

31
00:02:15,820 --> 00:02:21,800
sporting clay complex rifle range a three mile driving course an emergency services site and less

32
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:27,200
than or equal to 50 detached resident units so that was shot down we had a lot of people talking

33
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:33,540
on that one uh it was a lot of good back and forth for there um and i definitely don't want

34
00:02:33,540 --> 00:02:41,760
it to turn into some giant uh subdivision but i can understand uh the surrounding area in fernvale

35
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:46,900
not voting no for this and then the city doing its thing.

36
00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:50,920
So on September 9th, we had some old business.

37
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,500
There was some stuff on Zero Kingwood Boulevard

38
00:02:53,500 --> 00:02:56,900
where it went from RS-20 to RS-5.

39
00:02:57,660 --> 00:02:59,840
One of the things that I'm struggling with is,

40
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:00,800
and I've talked to the city,

41
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,740
is that we don't have a way to see the voting results

42
00:03:04,740 --> 00:03:08,380
without watching the YouTube video until the next month.

43
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,100
And after a month, the ship has sailed.

44
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,480
So the other new business for that was the Walker property on there,

45
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,360
Zero Fairview Boulevard, which was going to RS40 to RS10,

46
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:21,800
and that's Carl Walker III.

47
00:03:22,460 --> 00:03:27,700
And then Old Franklin Road property at Zero Franklin Boulevard went from RS40 to RS20,

48
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,760
and that was the Wilson Inventory Services.

49
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:39,360
And then 1550 Highway 96 went from RS40 to Industrial General IG,

50
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:46,560
and that was easily M. Bratton, W. Bratton. And then there was an acceptance of the infrastructure

51
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:54,220
at Kyle's Creek Phase 2, Section 2, which is an R20 zoned area. And then on the 18th,

52
00:03:54,220 --> 00:03:59,560
we had the Board of Commissioners meeting. Their old business there was that Fairview

53
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:05,380
City Court will participate in the Williamson County's DUI Recovery Court program.

54
00:04:05,380 --> 00:04:11,740
and then there was a subdivision for their other old business was the subdivision development

55
00:04:11,740 --> 00:04:17,000
agreement contract for city center phase two as that city center downtown keeps growing

56
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:24,560
and then the bowie meadows project was accepted for its phase two and then 51 acres on kingwood

57
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:33,660
boulevard went from r20 to rs5 in the land south sl llc and then new business is some stop signs

58
00:04:33,660 --> 00:04:37,540
are getting added at Old Nashville Road and Jones Lane.

59
00:04:38,580 --> 00:04:45,420
Kyle's Creek Phase 2 Section 2 had improvements approved.

60
00:04:46,060 --> 00:04:52,740
The site development agreement contract with Highbury Point Multifamily Association was done.

61
00:04:53,460 --> 00:04:56,940
Amendment 2025 and 2026 budget was kind of interesting.

62
00:04:56,940 --> 00:05:05,040
It took $22,000 from cleaning services and our cross-guard pay to pay public work salaries.

63
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:13,360
I didn't get to listen to that part yet, but I'm betting that it's just a shift and someone's still going to get paid to do those things.

64
00:05:13,460 --> 00:05:14,380
It's just done differently.

65
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:28,742
There are four public notices which is basically our chance to know when the next things are coming up On 10 we are annexing possibly 111 acres on Highway 100

66
00:05:29,262 --> 00:05:35,562
right near 840, to the city as RS-40, and that's also done by Carl Walker.

67
00:05:36,322 --> 00:05:43,602
Rezoned 53 acres on Old Cox Pike from RS-40 to RS-20, and that was Marlon Cunningham.

68
00:05:43,602 --> 00:05:48,122
That's behind the current subdivision, so I guess it means that it's going to grow.

69
00:05:48,922 --> 00:05:54,602
Annexing another 10 acres on Old Franklin Road as RS-40 for Deborah Jones.

70
00:05:55,222 --> 00:06:04,262
And then we're also rezone request for 17 acres on Boone Street from RS-40 to RS-8 by Kristen Brinson.

71
00:06:06,742 --> 00:06:08,682
So then we're state of Tennessee.

72
00:06:08,882 --> 00:06:10,702
What is the state of Tennessee right now?

73
00:06:10,702 --> 00:06:17,842
Well, this is not in any order, but here we are in September of 2025, on September 17th, actually.

74
00:06:18,322 --> 00:06:20,222
The National Guard is heading to Memphis.

75
00:06:20,862 --> 00:06:26,702
Some things had already started to get better there just by warning that the National Guard is coming.

76
00:06:27,782 --> 00:06:31,422
The Nashville airport right now is an absolute hot mess.

77
00:06:31,742 --> 00:06:39,342
On the 15th, this Monday, people were waiting anywhere from three to six hours to get in or out of the airport.

78
00:06:39,342 --> 00:06:47,062
Uh, the airport ride sharing prices served surged above $200 because it was taking so

79
00:06:47,062 --> 00:06:47,442
long.

80
00:06:47,922 --> 00:06:53,022
Um, I know that they're swapping the exit and entrance, but I think the plans may still

81
00:06:53,022 --> 00:06:59,522
be cursed because, uh, there aren't any dedicated lanes for people to loop for arrivals or

82
00:06:59,522 --> 00:07:00,122
departures.

83
00:07:00,122 --> 00:07:01,882
And they just keep adding more gates.

84
00:07:02,342 --> 00:07:07,302
Uh, and they took, you know, they built all this new parking garage, but it doesn't matter

85
00:07:07,302 --> 00:07:14,082
if you can park, if you can't get in or out. The Music City Loop is a hole in a parking lot right

86
00:07:14,082 --> 00:07:21,262
now. I don't see how this much money is going to get spent to move three or four people in a car

87
00:07:21,262 --> 00:07:28,082
every couple minutes down this tunnel from the airport to downtown. This was tried in Las Vegas

88
00:07:28,082 --> 00:07:32,762
and didn't have any significant impact. It was more of a novelty and a fun thing to do.

89
00:07:32,762 --> 00:07:39,902
Um, and so I would, I would wish we would just actually put a rail system in this magical

90
00:07:39,902 --> 00:07:43,042
tunnel we're building, um, because I think that would make a big difference.

91
00:07:43,922 --> 00:07:48,802
Uh, then we had Jeff Bivens was elected to chief justice of the Tennessee Supreme Court.

92
00:07:49,182 --> 00:07:52,862
Governor Lee appointed Raymond Lapone, uh, to the Shelby County court.

93
00:07:53,102 --> 00:07:58,762
Uh, Andy Holt will become the commissioner of the department of agriculture on October 1st.

94
00:07:58,762 --> 00:08:05,222
first. And now, how's the hill? This is our weather report. How's the hill is a very popular

95
00:08:05,222 --> 00:08:10,862
question when it snows or storms in our area because it's posted on the Facebook group Fairview

96
00:08:10,862 --> 00:08:17,742
Then and Now about Highway 100 down the hill towards Natchez Trace. If people are slipping

97
00:08:17,742 --> 00:08:21,842
and sliding and the ditches are getting full because that many people have crashed into it,

98
00:08:21,842 --> 00:08:28,702
then you may want to just stay home is the basic gist of how is the hill. Well, back to it. How is

99
00:08:28,702 --> 00:08:36,282
the hill passable clear skies pretty much this week high in the 90s low in the 60s we had a little

100
00:08:36,282 --> 00:08:41,482
rain a little bit of stormage but nothing too crazy and the weather guessers have guessed that

101
00:08:41,482 --> 00:08:46,022
that will continue for the next week with a little sprinkle of rain but i know we still need some more

102
00:08:46,022 --> 00:08:53,722
because the grass is country all right new businesses well we have the new elevate gymnastics

103
00:08:53,722 --> 00:09:00,322
and Cheer opened up last month. Sherman Williams opened up on September 8th. Papa John's just also

104
00:09:00,322 --> 00:09:07,502
opened. Ace Hardware is brewing on the Hill across from both of those. And we'll see what keeps coming

105
00:09:07,502 --> 00:09:13,442
along from there because there's also a couple spots in those shopping centers there. When it

106
00:09:13,442 --> 00:09:17,482
comes to new businesses, make sure you're heading to the farmer's market every Saturday morning at

107
00:09:17,482 --> 00:09:23,522
Messick Chiropractor and Fairview Fresh Deli Donuts for their, you know, on the donut side for

108
00:09:23,522 --> 00:09:28,142
their life-changing apple fritters and for a mess at chiropractor to get that your back all

109
00:09:28,142 --> 00:09:33,142
situated uh they're located across the road from the publics there's so many good places to get

110
00:09:33,142 --> 00:09:40,102
fresh fruit food fruits vegetables along with some beef hot sauce fishing lures peruvian items

111
00:09:40,102 --> 00:09:48,382
grills coffee uh sometimes frozen candies or freeze-dried candy uh let's get to the job

112
00:09:48,382 --> 00:09:53,382
openings so the job openings right now are there's a police officer opening for the city

113
00:09:53,382 --> 00:09:57,762
There's multiple positions open at the Walmart and at the Jingo market.

114
00:09:57,762 --> 00:10:00,022
There is a cashier position.

115
00:10:00,562 --> 00:10:05,222
If anyone else has any other job postings, I was just using a couple searches and looking

116
00:10:05,222 --> 00:10:09,442
on Fairview then and now and would like to get them read.

117
00:10:09,582 --> 00:10:14,982
Just contact us on the website and we will add it to the next week's podcast, which is

118
00:10:14,982 --> 00:10:15,642
every Wednesday.

119
00:10:17,302 --> 00:10:19,822
What is our history nugget for this week?

120
00:10:19,822 --> 00:10:24,982
Our history nugget for this week is basically kind of the core history of Fairview.

121
00:10:25,942 --> 00:10:32,942
It predates our incorporation of 1859 because the Native Americans, Cherokee and Chickasaw,

122
00:10:33,442 --> 00:10:36,042
were around in our areas in there.

123
00:10:36,262 --> 00:10:52,024
And by the early 1800s once European settlers and farmers started to come they started making homesteads around here And we get into more of the history there But before becoming Fairview the area is known as Christiana or Christina

124
00:10:52,244 --> 00:10:56,364
and later eventually Jingo, which is where Jingo Market comes from and everything else.

125
00:10:56,704 --> 00:11:03,584
The name Fairview was chosen in 1937, inspired by the scenic beauty of the land, which goes back to

126
00:11:03,584 --> 00:11:09,484
Bowie Park and our central stuff there, because it was right around later in the couple

127
00:11:09,484 --> 00:11:16,344
decades after that is when that started happening. So, uh, yeah, but we're also there. So, and, uh,

00:12:53,044 --> 00:12:53,744
So that's super cool.

145
00:12:54,164 --> 00:13:00,444
That Fall Fun Day at the park will be a touch truck, a couple food trucks, some games.

So it'll just be a good time to hang out.

And then the Christmas parade at December 6th at 10 a.m.

152
00:13:25,944 --> 00:13:29,844
So another thing, if you didn't know, if you want to stay more informed,

153
00:13:29,844 --> 00:13:44,884
If you text FV alerts to 888-777, you will be subscribed to some alerts, which will let you know when some of the meetings are going on and any news related to some city events.

154
00:13:45,024 --> 00:13:45,724
So it could be good.

155
00:13:46,224 --> 00:13:52,124
The last update, you know, a week ago, they said there was 3,427 people subscribed to it.

156
00:13:52,164 --> 00:13:55,864
So you could be 3,428.

157
00:13:55,864 --> 00:14:02,444
so fv alert at triple eight triple seven you can also go to the fairview website and you'll be able

158
00:14:02,444 --> 00:14:11,104
to find that for the kids uh there is a thriving girl scout and boy scouts bsa program in fairview

159

Cross country has been rocking it with the mid-state cross country meet at Hermitage

187
00:17:09,806 --> 00:17:12,306

188
00:17:12,766 --> 00:17:19,446
We had one of the boys there get third place on the podium with his first sub 17 minute

189
00:17:19,446 --> 00:17:20,126
three mile.

190
00:17:20,386 --> 00:17:23,426
And there was a lot of PRs on the teams from the boys and girls of that.

191
00:17:23,426 --> 00:17:33,706
Tennis tryouts start on September 29th and 30th, and wrestling just had its parents meeting on the 17th today, and they'll continue to grow.

192
00:17:33,846 --> 00:17:36,386
So if you're interested in any of that, you're ready to go.

193
00:17:36,386 --> 00:17:47,346
And probably the most important thing when it says for the school stuff is fall break is October 4th for all students until October 13th, which is Columbus Day.

194
00:17:47,906 --> 00:17:52,606
So you've got that week to look forward to if you can make it there, which will be great.

195
00:17:53,426 --> 00:17:59,586
and our faith moment for the day. With this being the first of many moments to come,

196
00:17:59,746 --> 00:18:05,466
I dedicate this first one to Adam Curry and his wife, Tina, for publicly embracing their faith

197
00:18:05,466 --> 00:18:10,746
in Christ. They convinced Pastor Jimmy and Annette Pruitt to start their podcast, Living Up in a

198
00:18:10,746 --> 00:18:16,186
Down World, which explored their faith journey, including both the good and the bad. They

199
00:18:16,186 --> 00:18:20,766
definitely opened up, and that was what was great about it. I learned from the four of them, with

200
00:18:20,766 --> 00:18:26,866
Adam and Tina being relatively new in the Christ journey and Jimmy and Annette who had been doing

201
00:18:26,866 --> 00:18:32,526
their journey for over 30 years, uh, that no one is perfect and everyone's trying to do better,

202
00:18:32,526 --> 00:18:39,426
uh, and try to live as Christ-like as possible. The stories of these two couples with their

203
00:18:39,426 --> 00:18:44,386
distinct Christ experiences and life experiences helped me get back in the saddle, uh, from being

204
00:18:44,386 --> 00:18:50,026
away from the faith, uh, actually participating for over 10 years. Uh, finding your faith will

205
00:18:50,026 --> 00:18:55,986
be different for everyone, but I'm so happy mine happened the way it did. And now it's rolling along

206
00:18:55,986 --> 00:19:02,826
with something like this, the podcast to reach out to Fairview and let them know. I also thank

207
00:19:02,826 --> 00:19:07,626
some of the scout leaders that I've worked with who mentioned to me that they went to one church

208
00:19:07,626 --> 00:19:14,566
home. It has become my family's home and we love the work they have done and are doing. And Ian and

209
00:19:14,566 --> 00:19:19,686
team just rock. They're the perfect people that I needed to restart kind of my faith engine.

210
00:19:20,926 --> 00:19:22,566
Kind of a special faith moment.

211
00:19:22,726 --> 00:19:25,086
Here we are on September 17th.

212
00:19:25,406 --> 00:19:28,986
Seven days ago from this recording, Charlie Kirk was assassinated.

213
00:19:29,586 --> 00:19:35,386
I had been watching Turning Point USA for a while and what they had been doing for over a decade.

214
00:19:35,726 --> 00:19:39,106
And I was impressed with their kind of faith first delivery.

215
00:19:39,766 --> 00:19:48,486
Faith in Christ were the fire that ignited Charlie and his team, motivating them to do what they did and continue to do.

216
00:19:48,486 --> 00:19:56,906
We used to learn he used he learned everything from reading the Bible and getting into the word.

217
00:19:57,646 --> 00:20:10,206
And that helped his faith and that glued everything together to build his worldview based on truth from the Bible, science and history, which informed his responses and questions and his own inquiries.

218
00:20:11,026 --> 00:20:17,186
It was amazing to learn so much from him over the years, and he would often encourage me to go

219
00:20:17,186 --> 00:20:21,586
actually look things up in the Bible and online to see for myself and read a little deeper,

220
00:20:21,806 --> 00:20:28,146
which helped me rekindle my own fire within me. This is someone I felt like I knew from watching

221
00:20:28,146 --> 00:20:36,246
and learning from him for so long, and to see him shot and die when I was said I needed to start

222
00:20:36,246 --> 00:20:43,586
doing my part when I saw that happen. I needed to do more for the Lord, for Christ, for the Christian

223
00:20:43,586 --> 00:20:50,926
faith and for my city. And so here we are. My part may not be very significant in the grand scheme of

224
00:20:50,926 --> 00:20:57,146
things, but I want to do what I can for God, my family and my town and this podcast and the

225
00:20:57,146 --> 00:21:02,786
opportunities that may create and help other people. There eventually will be some Christian

226
00:21:02,786 --> 00:21:09,226
music on here, making it our little hometown radio station by us and for us. Perhaps these

227
00:21:09,226 --> 00:21:13,886
faith moments will inspire someone else to visit one of the many churches in our town or elsewhere

228
00:21:13,886 --> 00:21:20,386
and help them with the struggles that they face in their life. As a wrap up, I just want to say

229
00:21:20,386 --> 00:21:25,806
thank you so much. I will see you all next Wednesday, and I hope everyone has a blessed day.

230
00:21:26,126 --> 00:21:26,486
Thank you.
