During this month of love, the Pulse pays tribute to the town of Murfreesboro, the unique elements that give the community its character and make our hometown so lovable. This is the market that has supported us and our business.
We love Murfreesboro!
We love all of the people involved with the Pulse—the readers, the advertisers, those who send us information, comment on the material, and share articles and information from the Pulse with others. We love all of the individuals operating the distribution points which keep this community publication out and available for the people of Murfreesboro. We love all of the organizations who support the Pulse financially, who use it to advertise their business and promote their message, who contribute towards making it happen.

To all of the entrepreneurs out there, to those behind all of the thousands of special businesses that make up the fabric of Murfreesboro, let’s all stick together.
When the big organizations disappoint, let’s shop small and band together. Many have begun to feel that big medicine, big tech, big religion, big education, big media and big government may not really have the interest of the little guy at heart. Keep it small. Keep it local.
Hopefully you got some good family time and rest in during the big ice event of 2026. I opted not to do a road run outside in the ice. I did have a little backyard chase around the magical ice castles and tunnels, but definitely need to get back to run training soon. The Special Kids Race is coming up on March 14. It’s time to get in 5K condition!
Riding out the winter storm was no big deal at our house. We stayed warm, well fed and all powered up. It is incredibly unfortunate that others, particularly the customers of NES, had a tough time this past month. Our thoughts and prayers are with those families.
Super Bowl LX is almost here. The Super Bowl is a wonderful tradition, bringing all sorts of people together, watching the best in American football for a few hours each year. Whatever your nationality or religion or politics, all can come together and complain about how much they dislike the halftime show every year!
At first glance, I have to predict a Seahawks win. I did realize, if New England gets another win for the AFC, here in its 12th Super Bowl appearance, the AFC/NFC Super Bowl win balance will be equal, after number 60. I like that symmetry and parity. Plus, the Patriots will be wearing white. And, honestly, I like Vrabel. But, still, I’m going Seahawks. They can score however many points they need.
Join the Mayo boys and various other local chess enthusiasts sometime at the Murfreesboro Community Chess meetup, every Friday evening, 6–9 p.m., at McAlister’s Deli, 2357 Medical Center Pkwy. Come out and play a few games, over the board, and meet other local chess players.
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. — Romans 8:38–39
