Don’t be bland. Don’t waste your time eating bland food or listening to bland music or spending time with bland people. There’s too much variety, spice, sizzle, creativity and excitement and too many interesting places and individuals for that.
Spring is here. Perhaps go to a park, like Radnor Lake, featured in this month’s issue. Whether a city park or a Tennessee state park, the fine nature preserves in the area offer a great deal of room to spread out, a lot of nature and wildlife to observe, and plenty of fresh air to take in.
JazzFest is on! Organizers have announced that this annual outdoor Murfreesboro tradition will indeed take place in 2021. Wander out to the Murfreesboro Public Square on May 1 and check it out.
Get your gardens planted. Get your hands dirty and some plants in the ground and see what you can produce in your yard. Our friends at Valley Growers Garden Center are happy to help you get your spring planting projects underway once more.
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heavens.
Play music! Keep a song in your heart.
This month Rutherford County continues to see an increase in gatherings, concerts, fundraisers, consignment sales and other activities. Be sure to check out the Pulse’s April Community Events section and Concert Listings—and mark your calendars!
March Madness has been quite exciting with some surprise upsets and deep sharpshooting. It seems like this year’s tournament offered more blowouts than buzzer-beaters, though.
As always, remember, the fine sponsors of the Pulse make this publication possible.
Check out The Great Escape’s big outdoor sale on April 10.
Go enjoy some sushi from 219 Mixed Cuisine, the trains and porch rockers at Thor’s, pork belly from Primrose Table, some coffee from Fox & Goat, a massage from the Nurture Nook, some of those fine blueberry cake, chocolate cake, red velvet cake or carrot cake doughnuts from Donut Country, maybe some used records, clothing or furniture from the (now two!) Steered Straight resale stores, or a steak salad from the Alley.
The Mayos do!
Perhaps we will see you at the spring kickoff at the Fountains or on the Murfreesboro Greenway sometime soon.
