Leblanc’s a bit worried:

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.

I’ve been around long enough to remember when Antioch was just a peaceful suburb.

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.
