EP: 8 "All The Candy”

Welcome to Episode 8 of Hello Fairview, your local podcast made right here in Fairview, for people in Fairview and the surrounding areas.  This is a weekly show, released every Wednesday, featuring stories that aim to inform and inspire.  Local Radio stations don’t exist in small towns like ours, so we will use Hello Fairview to fill that void with news related to Fairview.  This is a Value for Value podcast, which means you contribute what you can based on the value you receive.  This concept was founded by the PodFather himself, Adam Curry, and his Co-host, John C. Dvorak of the No Agenda Show, over 18 years ago.

Currently, this is a one-man operation, so if you have any ideas, events, business opportunities, or job openings, please don't hesitate to let me know.  You are a producer of this show; you are not the product, because your time and attention are not being sold to advertisers for value.  Some shows will be longer, others shorter, but I will do my best to keep things relevant. 

Traffic Time

Normal Busy, Cumberland, and 100 have been better for sure. There will be more closures, and we will see how things go because they are not giving us a plan; they are just telling us about a week in advance, at most. There will likely be some more grading and drainage work to make the turn lane into Cumberland from 100, so we will see how those closures go throughout the week. They are having to build culverts on the East- and westbound sides to widen the road, along with some mini-bridges.  You may have also seen some lane closures around the city as Middle TN Electric prepares for winter by trimming trees along all powerlines.  It looks like Halloween didn’t cause any traffic backups, and in Castleberry, there were a lot fewer cars and trick-or-treaters.

Redlight Update – We currently still have three (Old Cox, Publix, & Walmart). Still, we will soon be getting one at the new City Center Entrance and at the Cumberland and 100 intersection when that expansion occurs. I’m not sure how it will help or hurt yet, but I hope the crossing guard can control it during the morning and evening school rush.

City Center – There will still be some construction closures here and there.

Future Projects – I still need to learn more about this project because I don't know what the costs of these sidewalks will be, and I want to understand whether it will be worth it when the dust settles and the road gets widened, only to have them torn up and replaced again.  I know we are stuck in a loop where we are not big enough to expand. 

We’re Growin

City News

Commissioner Update – The Health Department, which is open across from the Elementary school and has recently been renovated, is ready to help.  They have a stock of vaccines if needed, as well as other medical services. Please go and check them out.

The Fairview Police Department Shop with A Cop Applications are still open. Applications can be picked up at the Fairview Police Department starting today, 8 am to 4 pm. Applications must be completed in full, along with the participant information form for each child, and returned no later than 4 pm on November 14th.  We continue to give thanks to our community and local businesses for their support of this cause throughout the year through fundraising and donations.  Donations can be made at any time as we continue preparing for this year’s and next year's programs. Donations can be dropped off at City Hall, the Police Department, or mailed to the City of Fairview, P.O. Box 69, Fairview, TN 37062.

Future - Zoning 101

Annexation: Join Fairview City, pay more in taxes.  Half of our requests involve simultaneous Rezone and Annexation applications.

Rezone: I would like to change the zoning so we can put more houses on a property of convert it to something Commercial and Industrial.

The State of TN (Not In Order)

1.        Big election day across the US, with elections for some governors, congress members, propositions, and many other races. 

2.        The government is still shut down, so things are getting wild at airports, and people needing SNAP food assistance are all over the US now.  TN has been trying to help fund programs that feed people while the federal government is down.

3.        The Secretary of State found that 42 possible non-citizens voted in the state's 4.3 million votes in the 2024 election.

4.        No more new news spots in  Memphis. The National Guard is still doing things.

5.        December 2 will be the final special election for the 7^th District US House Seat, with Aftyn Behn for the Democrats and Matt Van Epps for the Republicans, based on the primary results.  More news of them going back and forth now for this potential seat in a couple of weeks.

6.        Cool Link to some of the Budget Hearings from yesterday.  https://app.vidcast.io/playlists/f1584ab1-5ef0-4642-b355-8da88fbc5903

7.        Music City Loop is still digging a hole and drilling things.

8.        Airport released a video about a new Terminal Two, which will have around 70 more gates on 300 acres south of the airport and is scheduled to start around 2038.  https://www.wsmv.com/2025/10/27/nashville-airport-announces-plans-double-size-with-new-terminal/

The Bills https://www.capitol.tn.gov/legislation/ 

Here is what we have for this week—nothing super cool or detailed, but the agenda for today was interesting, with all the companies taking part and what they do.  I have heard of some of these, but many are new names, and it makes me wonder what's up with some of them, too, and how much money is being sent their way.

How’s the hill, weather report

Back to it, How’s the hill?  Passable. Fall is rocking, but it is moving to below freezing real soon.  With lows this weekend on Sunday and Monday in the 20s with highs in the 40s, you need to take off your hoses before the weekend freeze.  Then they are guessing highs of the 60s with lows of the 40s the rest of the week.

New Businesses

Nothing New was spotted.  Ace Hardware is still brewing.  There is still an open slot at Publix in Bowie Commons.  Other than that, I spotted nothing new this week, and I'm waiting to see what else is coming.

Farmers Market

Make sure to head to the Farmers Market every Saturday Morning, 8 AM to 12 PM (Not Earlier, as other posts have posted) at Meseck Chiropractor and Fairview Fresh Deli for their life-changing Apple Fritters, located down the road from Publix.  So many good places to get local beef and pork, breads and treats, local fruits and vegetables, along with some hot sauce, fishing lures, and other holiday gifts this time of the year.

Brick and Mortar Highlight https://www.indeed.com/companies/best-companies-in-Fairview,-TN

MJ and Sons Wrecker Service

This is our local towing company, used by most people.  I have had to use them a couple of times, and they are responsive and get the job done, that’s what you need when you need a tow.  Their quote  “Your go to choice for towing and recovery since 1989!  You can call the rest but choose the best! That’s M.J. & SON Wrecker Service, trusted by families and businesses for over 35 years!”

Local Business Highlight

Doughy Duos

https://www.facebook.com/p/DoughyDuos-61557942869000/ https://www.instagram.com/doughyduos/?hl=en

This is another one of our regular local Farmers’ Market vendors.  This mother-daughter team makes fresh Sourdough Breads, from plain to jalapeno cheese, that will take a grilled cheese to the next level.  Their treats are also excellent, from their Chocolate Chip cookies to their specialty loaves, cinnamon rolls, and you never know what type of bread there will be, from Pumpkins to Mummies, just a week ago.

History Nugget

Vicksburg Road - Name Origin

During the Civil War, Vicksburg on the Mississippi River was a key battle that turned the tide of the war when the Confederate Army surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant on July 4, 1863. This was a vital link in the supply line between the North and the South. This victory also split the Confederate Army in half, which was the beginning of the end of the war.

Jacket News – The games against Waverly last week didn’t disappoint, with a 2-point conversion for the win in the last seconds of the game.  Fairview won by scoring 15 points in the final 6 minutes, including a 2-point conversion with about 30 seconds left in the game. Final score Fairview 29, Waverly 28, and Fairview clinches a Region 6 Championship! November 6^th is another championship game at home against Stratford at 7 PM, so be there—it could be the last game of the season or the 2^nd-to-last if they win and keep going.  Fairview is at Fairview (8-2) and Stratford (3-6) so wish them all the luck to get there.  If you are not into Football and dig the theater, you can see the first showing of “Rumors” by Neil Simon at 7 PM on the 6th.  The Pep Rally is on November 7th during the day, and at 7 pm is another showing of Rumors.  Then this weekend, on the 8^th at 2PM and 7PM, you can see the show again.  This is the week the Fall market is on, November 15^th, from 9 AM to 3 PM. This is a great place to do your Christmas shopping, just like our weekly only Farmers Market, to support local businesses.  Every Friday this School year, Kona Ice and Tom’s Coffee will be there at lunchtime.  Senior Portraits and Senior Ads are due by November 21, 2025.  November 21^st is Career Day.  ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) is scheduled for December 9^th at 8 AM in the Learning Lab. If you are thinking about joining the military, this is a must-have, and this score will determine what jobs you can pick from at each branch. Looks like the High School bowling team is rolling with practices on Nov 13^th and 20^th, and you will be making some trips to Thunder Alley in Dickson to get your Roll on!  Are you in 8th–12th grade and looking for a creative outlet this winter? Join us for an unforgettable season inspired by the hit Broadway musical Waitress! Tryout Dates: November 14th, 17th, and 21st, 4:30 PM – 7:30 PM. Regular Rehearsals: Mondays & Fridays, 4:30 PM – 7:30 PM. No experience necessary—bring your energy and enthusiasm! Tryouts and rehearsals take place at Fairview High School.

Faith Moment

If you have not heard of the Patriot Academy, I suggest learning more, especially if you have kids and want to raise them to be godly citizens.  This is a sermon that Rick Green did at the Awaken Church and this talks about some of the founding of the country and this is just the first half but there are hours of content related to this.

Biblical Citizenship in America - Rick Green

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h968gqy4du4 

Welcome back. If you want to learn more, I suggest going to Patriot Academy and go and track and Rick Green talks and learn more about the founding of our country and the values that were baked into our constitution and government and how we can make a better future.  What they are doing with young people is amazing with mock halls of congress where they learn how things actually happen in government.

https://www.patriotacademy.com/ 

Another essential reference for Biblical Citizenship is the Founder’s Bible, which walks through the history of our nation and its founders and references the Bible.  Want to see the letter that was first referenced in “Separation of Church and State” from Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptists that was used to prove that Christianity doesn’t belong in government.  https://thefoundersbible.com/ 

The letter:

https://www.loc.gov/loc/lcib/9806/danpre.html 

Donations

On the Donations front, nothing new from Fountain.  We will have other payment options soon, just waiting for the tax man stuff to finish. We covered Fountain and Stripe Setup in the last episode, so a Donate button lets you use your Credit Card and other Payment methods through Stripe.

A monthly Supporter option is available for just $3.50.  If you haven’t seen the website, please take a look. A lot has been added since last week, and I think you will find it helpful, including the calendar, Church and Business List, and more.  We will announce your first name or business name if you become a monthly supporter or make a donation of $19.59 or more, unless you include a note stating not to be anonymous (e.g., 'The year we were incorporated').  I hope some business people will support this to make it even better!  Be a producer, subscribe, and share with others about this Podcast to help get the news out to everyone in Fairview.  I need to catch up on social media things to get the word out, but I’m trying to get the website and payments sorted first
