Taste of the Town - Reeves-Sain Drug Store

This week Tim Dutton takes Taste of the Town to Reeves-Sain Drugstore on Memorial Blvd. and lunches with Kathy Bennett the Retail Manager. Tim may have gained a few pounds this week between the chicken salad sandwich, strawberry cake and a famous Reeves-Sain milkshake. This week's freebee? FREE strawberry cake!

Milkshakes at Reeves-Sain

Today you're multi-tasking. Stop into Reeves-Sain Drugstore on Memorial Blvd. and get your prescriptions filled, drop of you packages to be mailed in their post office, do a little shopping, but...before you leave you HAVE to get one of their milkshakes! I personally prefer the butterscotch variety.

You can also grab a bite to eat and with any of their sandwiches you get a FREE piece of their 30th Anniversary Strawberry Cake, which is remarkable. Not to mention Reeves Sain offers the best customer service I for one have ever experienced in Murfreesboro. Their service is truly something every 'Boro business should aspire to. Hope you enjoy!

Cason Trail - Greenway Trailhead

Today it's all about the kids. The 'Boro has a number of beautiful playgrounds to take the kids to. Our personal favorite is the new playground at the Greenway Trailhead located on Cason Trail. It's a family favorite and with the beautiful weather today you're sure to see one of us out there mixing it up with the young'ns. The facilities there are really top notch for a public park. With a couple of event shelters, nice clean restrooms, plenty of space to run and play, a well maintained entrance to the Greenway Trail and best of all two seperate jungle gyms (one for the big kids and one for the little tykes), both on padding to reduce the risk of injury.

The Cason Trail Greenway Trailhead is located at the end of Cason Trail. From Old Fort Parkway take a left on Cason Lane, left on Cason Trail and follow it until it dead ends at the Trailhead.

Dirty Proper @ The Boro Bar & Grill

You'll be hard pressed to find better entertainment in the Murfreesboro area tonight than seeing Dirty Proper at The Boro Bar & Grill located on Greenland Drive. The show starts at 9:30 pm and cost is a mere $6.00

Dirty Proper is in essence an alt-country act with hints of rock, pop and southern soul. Based out of Nashvegas this quintet features the silky smooth vocals of Natalie Aulvin and Murfreesboro's own Trey Call with a guitar sound reminiscent of the '90s riff heavy alternative scene (think Gin Blossoms or Foo Fighters).

Open Mic Night at Willie's Wet Bar in Smyrna

Forgive me for not posting yesterday. Had a family emergency. Today we're suggesting everyone stop into Willie's Wet Spot in Smyrna for their Open Mic Night beginning at 8:00 pm.
We'll warn you ahead of time...Willie's isn't right for everyone. It's borderline Biker Bar and might be a little "low rent" for some tastes, never-the-less if you the type who enjoys the occasional dive experience (think Gentleman Jim's meets Buster's) you'll probably really enjoy the food, drinks, and entertainment at this Smyrna lounge.
