This Is Smyrna, TN

Good Monday people. I mean that as this weekend the news of a future bookstore for our town was announced. Books-A-Million will be one of the businesses established when the retail complex to the left of Lowes is finished.

Now to the business at hand.

The town government this week has three meetings planned.

Beer Board: September 8, 2008 - 7:00 PM
Project Assistance: September 9, 2008 -5:30PM
Next Town Council Meeting is: September 9, 2008 - 7:00 PM

While the Beer Board meeting agenda seems standard fare, the town council meeting starts off with a citizen comment by George Croft about Ordinance 15-605 section 1 of the town laws. This section deals with what is considered a motor vehicle. Section 605 deals with the town's control of what you can park on your property and where. Hopefully he will get a better reception then I did.
