The Pulse team put some real time and effort into this collection of local concerts, events, business news, gardening info, articles and information that you currently hold in your hands, and into each edition of the Pulse.
Though every time a reader mentions that they learned about their new favorite restaurant from the Pulse, they discovered a fun event or fundraiser to attend, they saw their friend’s art, band or business in the Pulse, that the inspirational columns and tips have really helped them out, or otherwise got some meaning and enjoyment out of the topics covered, it reminds me why we do this thing.
The Pulse has built a loyal and wonderful group of advertisers who fund the paper and website through their advertising dollars.
The Pulse has built a large audience of readers who grab each month’s edition to see what’s going on in town.
The Pulse has built a solid network of distribution points scattered throughout Rutherford and Cannon counties—find the paper in Carmen’s Taqueria, in Juice Bar, in Linebaugh Public Library, Champy’s Chicken, Murfreesboro Athletic Club, Puckett’s, Marco’s Pizza, Wasabi, Patterson Park Community Center, Camino Real, Kleer-Vu and many other popular area locations.
If you ever cannot locate a copy, or know anybody or anywhere who needs one, let me know: bracken@boropulse.com.
We’ll make sure they get one!
Plus, you can always read online, read entire editions at issuu.com/boropulse, follow up on Facebook and Twitter, and subscribe to the Pulse’s email newsletter at boropulse.com/newsletter to keep up with community entertainment and art news.
It takes all of these parts to keep our operation Pulsing with the beat of the ’Boro, but it is working, growing, thriving and, we like to think, doing some good in the community.
September brings the annual Greenway Art Festival to Old Fort Park, an outdoor art display along the Greenway at the park; Wine Around the Square wine tasting and dinner event (that same evening), benefiting the St. Thomas Rutherford Foundation and its Power of Pink breast cancer support mission; the beginning of college football (and NFL) season, and the Blue Raiders’ quest for another bowl win. Other September activities include the Downtown on the Farm dinner, another Everybody Drum Some Community Rhythm Event, Wings of Freedom Fish Fry, a Cyber Summit at Fountains at Gateway, Autumn with the Alley, Murfreesboro Chess Tournament and more.
Around town, check out music this month from Cosmic Collective, Burning Las Vegas, Uncle Don Clark, Iraconji, Ivan Fleming, Wooly Mamas, Antler Hopkins, Don Aliquo and so many others, each working on their own personal style of musical expression and doing their thing.
Isn’t it strange how timing works out sometimes? Last month’s edition of the Pulse included a feature on Nobody’s and got everyone wanting to eat brisket and cheesesticks, sing karaoke, play trivia and watch sports, and later in August the Nobody’s owners decided to suddenly close shop, after establishing the spot as a real part of Murfreesboro culture. Life will go on, though, for a brief while; spend time with your family and friends while you are able, for life in this world will not last forever.

Release any shame and pain from the past and accept God’s grace and forgiveness. Today is a new day! Make the most of it. Do what is most important, benefit someone, experience joy.
Be smart with your money and even smarter with your time.
