This morning while getting ready for another excited day in the workplace, I glanced this story:
Authorities investigating bodies found in business
This location is exactly 2/5 of a mile from my house. That is easily walking distance from a potential murder scene. What has happened to our quiet little hamlet?
When I first moved to La Vergne, there was very little crime. Now it’s becoming known as “Little Antioch”, and for good reason. I don’t think Lewisburg is heading the same way, but it is always a bit sad to me when big city crime starts affecting small towns.
“Now it’s becoming known as ‘Little Antioch’”

Dang

I’ve been around long enough to remember when Antioch was just a peaceful suburb.
Me too, Slarti, me too.
I grew up in Lewisburg. I don’t think it ever really qualified as a “quiet little hamlet.”
I would, however, say that the frequency of such crimes has not gone up, but that the quality of the local newspaper has – which means less fluff, more of the substantive news that used to be covered over much like a cat kicks litter over its poop.
