“Justin is the best. You could not ask for a more knowledgeable estate attorney. He helped my father with his will and trust. We just finished my will and trust. He listens to everything you have to say, then comes up with a way to incorporate your needs and wants into legal terms.

Thank you so much Justin. It was and is a pleasure to know you.”

Out to dinner with f riends, walking off the tennis court after a match or checking out at Trader Joe’s… no matter where I am, our crazy Real Estate market seems to be the topic of conversation! And no matter who I am with, the question is always the same… “Is now the right time to list…or should I wait until the spring???”

My answer? If you are thinking about selling your home, there is absolutely no better time then now.

The market… and the buyers are waiting!

1. Home inventory levels are at a record low: In January we thought we had found the bottom of inventory levels with only 811 available homes for sale in Williamson County. How wrong we were! In February inventory levels dropped by another 10% with only 704 Active listings!

2. Interest rates are climbing: And higher rates means less purchasing power for buyers planning to use a mortgage. With the threat of additional rate increases throughout 2022, buyers are anxious to f ind homes NOW so that they can lock in rates.

3. Middle Tennessee continues to attract corporations and corporate headquarters: The new businesses moving to Middle Tennessee continue to bring relocating families to Williamson County. Because of our inventory shortage, families who know they need to make the move are shopping NOW so that they can be assured of f inding their new home. In many instances, buyers are making purchases that they don’t plan to move into for months. It has become a huge win for our local sellers as they are often benef itting f rom the luxury of having their homes sold, but being able to continue living in them while they do their own “house hunting”.

4. Multiple offers are everywhere: The combination of extremely low inventory, urgency around raising interest rates and relocation families shopping now… have created intense competition for those few homes that are hitting the market. It is not uncommon for new listings to receive 5, 10, 15 or even more offers in the f irst few days of being listed.

5. Offer prices have never been higher; Low supply + high demand = multiple offers with signif icant price tags attached. In February 2022, 53.2% of the homes sold in Williamson County were sold for over list price and for a whopping 25.4% more then they did in February of 2021!

April 2022 PUBLISHER

Athena West | athena.west@citylifestyle.com EDITOR

Maria Dinoia | maria.dinoia@citylifestyle.com

April is derived from the Latin word aperit, which means: to open. As you open this, our April “Explore” issue, I ask you to be open to exploring all the wonderful offerings in and around our great city - and beyond.

In this issue, you will find interesting places to explore such as Presidential Homes (did you know that there are three right here in Tennessee?!), Nashville’s historic letterpress and working museum, Hatch Show Print, and a fun weekend getaway in Cherry Creek, Colorado. Read about how to explore in style with Premiere Transportation. Be sure to explore red carpet fashions, the newest Drees homes, and even your own home with USS. Open your heart to explore volunteer opportunities with Habitat for Humanity as they start their newest build. Open your mind by exploring the fascinating true life story of local Franklin resident and author, Keeda Haynes, in her book BENDING THE ARC: My Journey from Prison to Politics.

You can even explore ways to take care of yourself and your loved ones as Dr. Mary Lynn Moran speaks from her heart about the importance of community, and our friends at Sircy-Hurd open up about financial planning for your future.

I invite you to review the 2022 Sizzle Award winners where over 300,000 votes came in for the “Best of the Best” in Williamson County. You may find a new favorite entertainment location, shopping experience, or restaurant!

Open your windows, let the fresh spring air fill your home, and get out and explore. And when you are out and about exploring, be sure to tag us on Instagram @franklintnlifestyle - we may even tag you back!

We can’t say enough good things about Scott Hudson and The Bickerstaff Group. If you are looking for a realty team, they are the ones to go with, hands down. Scott helped us find and purchase a beautiful home in the most difficult of markets. He and his team are hardworking and genuinely care about their clients. They went above and beyond for us as a family and we cannot sing their praises loudly enough. As a couple moving from out of state, they gave us the insight and guidance we needed to purchase our house. We recommend them 10/10!

Geri G has completely changed my life—in every sense of the phrase. I wish I could even begin to tell you the amount of time that she has invested in helping me to improve my health on every level imaginable. As such a genuine person, she has strong and steadfast ideals which translate into both the care that she gives to her clients as well as the products that she creates.

“

Geri is AMAZING! I have been seeing her for almost 4 years and she has done wonders for my skin. She will tell you exactly what you need to do from the inside out to make your skin look and feel fabulous! I have had facials throughout my life whole adult like and used a countless number of products, and nothing comes close to how my skin looks and feels after seeing Geri and using her products. If this rating had 10 stars, I would give her all of them!!!

– Shanna Khan

Geri is truly a miracle worker. I developed a severe hormonal acne breakout that had lasted two weeks, had seen a dermatologist for it, and nothing was helping. After a facial with Geri and with her recommendations, my face is completely clear. Geri made me a truly personalized facial plan and helped me learn what I needed to change in or order to clear my skin and she completely changed my skin and my outlook! I am so grateful for Geri’s facials and my skin has truly never looked better.

The Heritage Foundation of Williamson County has entered into a contract to purchase the historic McConnell House building.

Williamson County purchased the property located at 108 Bridge Street and in its place constructed a three-story brick jail that opened in 1905. By 1941 the jail was antiquated, and the neighboring Old, Old Jail was built (now known as LeHew Magid Big House). The building is on the National Register of Historic Places and has operated as the McConnell House private event venue since its acquisition by the McConnell Hospitality Group.

Join Habitat for Humanity Williamson-Maury for their 12th Annual Hammers & High Heels Gala ARTICLE BY JENNIFER BENNHOFF | PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED Each year, Franklin-based Habitat for Humanity Williamson-Maury (HFHWM) builds 12–14 homes with local families. “Anyone with a stable income and a need for affordable housing is welcome to apply to buy a home,” says Kim Randell, the affiliate’s chief development officer.

“Home ownership provides stability and independence, and we strive to build a future for generations of families.”

Future Habitat homeowners participate in a yearlong homebuyer education program. They purchase the home with an affordable mortgage and dedicate up to 280 hours of sweat equity into the build, working alongside volunteers to saw, hammer and paint, turning empty lots into inviting homesteads.

One future homeowner is Linda Lemus, mother to two school-aged children. One of nine siblings raised by a single mother, Linda moved from California to Spring Hill when she was 17 and works at Walgreens in the cosmetics department. She hopes that home ownership will allow her to host family gatherings and provide a way to start a Californiainspired food business.

Linda’s home is HFHWM’s 2022 Women Build, with a goal to engage women to volunteer for 75% of the building process. “We don’t expect our volunteers to know how to work with tools,” says Randell. “We will train! Some volunteers use power tools, some paint, there is always something to do.” HFHWM sponsors one Women Build house each year and this year’s project will kick off in April.

On Friday, May 13th, HFHWM is hosting its 12th Annual Hammers & High Heels Gala, presented by Fluid Pay, to raise the funds needed to build Linda’s house. “After two years of hosting virtual fundraisers, we are really excited to celebrate in person with our friends and family,” says Randell. “It’s also a great opportunity for a fun women’s night out.”

The event will take place in The Factory’s Liberty Hall, with catering provided by MAFIAoZA’S, Papa C Pies, Triple Crown Bakery, wines from Empire Distributing, and dancing with the high-energy party band, ‘Burning Las Vegas.’ Joni Cole, owner of local tavern O’ Be Joyful, has her mixologist creating two signature cocktails for the event, “The Hammer” and “The Heel,” CONTINUED >

Habitat for Humanity is one of the world’s largest home builders, explains Jennee Galland, vice president and chief operating officer. “Each affiliate – about 1,200 worldwide - raises its own funds, and we act as the lender for the houses.”

Linda Lemus says that learning how to budget and manage home ownership has been challenging, yet rewarding, and she appreciates the opportunity to buy a home constructed by her and HFHWM volunteers. “I am grateful and thankful for the time they are putting into my future.”

“A Beautifully Organized Life, at the Right Price”

Nerevolutionary w device cures & prevents acne Using groundbreaking technology, a Franklin, TN company, BlephEx and James Rynerson, MD have developed a revolutionary device,

XE M O P R O

that clears & cures acne.

BEFORE

Progress with this new technology began with the recent discovery that acne is caused by bacterial biof ilm, something that all bacteria produce when in the presence of moisture. Similar to plaque in the oral cavity that causes gingivitis, biof ilms within sebaceous glands also cause cystic inflammation. These biof ilms are created by bacteria as a means of protection since they are literally impenetrable.

Bacteria stay safe within these biof ilms, and eventually begin producing toxins that cause occlusion and inflammation.

Our skin is typically dry, so without moisture, biof ilms are very limited. But during puberty, the skin becomes more moist with over-active sebaceous glands.

This increase in moisture within these glands allow the bacteria within them to produce biof ilms which occlude the glands and inflammation ensues. This is the root cause of acne.

XEMO PRO works by sending a patented electron waveform of a very specif ic f requency via adhesive pads through the affected skin, literally vaporizing the biof ilm within the gland allowing for easy clearance of the occlusion and a resolution of the inflammatory cystic changes. It is truly remarkable how quickly acne resolves if the biof ilm is destroyed. And the great thing beyond the simple fact that it works, is that it does so without seeing the doctor, no prescriptions, no harsh chemicals, and no pain. All of this f rom the comfort of your home. Just a few minutes of treatment twice a day and you will be biof ilm-f ree.

Early evidence suggests that acne rosacea is the same biofilm-induced disease that’s simply a low-grade & more chronic condition in adults.

For more information, go to

www.XemoPro.com

XEMO PRO is now accepting individuals with acne and/or acne rosacea for our second phase of testing the effectiveness of biof ilm vaporization on their skin. Enrollees will receive a f ree XEMO PRO, value $695, and will receive training on how to use it by a staff MD, in exchange for being part of the study. Before and after photos will be required and a treatment period of at least 90 days will be necessary.

Call 833-End-Acne (363-2263) to inquire further.

Naomi and Wynonna Judd Leave Their Mark on Country Music THE JUDDS TO BE INDUCTED INTO THE COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME

ARTICLE BY MARIA DINOIA PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

One of the most successful duos in country music history, The Judds, scored 20 Top 10 hits, including 14 number 1s, between 1984 and 1991. Mother Naomi and daughter Wynonna had an illustrious career that included five GRAMMY® Awards, nine CMA Awards and seven from the Academy of Country Music, dominating vocal duo categories through the 1980s. It’s no surprise to anyone that their contributions to country music have been recognized by the Country Music Hall of Fame in electing the duo to be inducted in the class of 2021, alongside the likes of the great Ray Charles, drummer Eddie Bayers and producer Pete Drake.

Naomi says, “There are certain things in my life that have made me have a little bit of a sense of worth or approval, and this is just the ultimate pat on the back. I can’t grasp it yet. To be in the same situation as my friends Dolly and Reba...I’m just thrilled.”

"When we moved to Nashville in the late 70s, still struggling to make ends meet and dressing Wy and Ashley in thrift store dresses, I could've never imagined the success we achieved as The Judds. I am beyond thrilled and humbled for this incredible recognition. There's no greater pinnacle in country music than the Country Music Hall of Fame," Naomi shared.

Wynonna adds, “This moment takes me back to 1983 when Mom and I first started.

We would get in the car and visit multiple radio stations a day. It kind of feels like I’ve hit the lottery. It is so surreal. John Lennon always said that he just wanted to be remembered, and now we’re truly part of history, or I should say HERstory. What an honor.”

Naomi continues, “There was a genre of us that came up around exactly the same time. We were heralded as the real face of country music. One of the things I remember reading was a review of our first album that said ‘we were like crystal water flowing down a creek.’ I was so encouraged. I mean we had started singing on a rural mountaintop in Kentucky. We didn’t have a TV or a telephone or neighbors. We started singing together for homemade entertainment.”

Naomi had financed the family’s move to Nashville by renting her restored 1957 Chevrolet — the same she’d drive from California to Tennessee — for use in “More American Graffiti” and by securing roles for her and Wynonna in the film. They made the move in 1979, and Naomi took a job as a nurse at Williamson County Medical Center. In early 1980, she and a 15-year-old Wynonna began appearing in the early mornings on WSM-TV’s “The Ralph Emery Show.” Emery dubbed them

the “Soap Sisters” after Naomi told him she made her own lye soap.

Their break came via a chance encounter with Nashville producer Brent Maher, whose teenage daughter — a schoolmate of Wynonna’s — was injured in a car accident. Maher had seen the Soap Sisters’ television performances and recognized Naomi, one of his daughter’s nurses. When Maher’s daughter was discharged from the hospital, Naomi gave Maher a tape she and Wynonna had made on a portable tape recorder in their kitchen. Maher began working with the two singers and, following a live audition in the offices of RCA Records’ Nashville office, they secured a recording deal with RCA Records/Curb Records. The rest is history.

The ladies in the Judd family have lived in the Franklin/Leiper’s Fork area since around 1989. Naomi discloses, “When I was growing up in little Ashland, KY, I lived in a neighborhood where the houses were pretty close together and I was in everybody’s homes and I knew everybody.

Through the decades, I wasn’t able to recreate that. But when I found Franklin, it felt like a community. Ashley lives up the hill from us on a farm. Wy is right over the hill behind me on a farm. So we have this community. And I love it here so much.”

They say it’s the journey, not the destination, but Premiere Transportation will help you enjoy both.

Premiere has been in the Franklin area for over 20 years and owns the nation’s largest fleet of luxury coaches.

Their 10 extraordinary coaches are named after U.S. presidents, like Eisenhower and Kennedy, because they are often used for political campaigns. But they’re also perfect for short-term travel like family vacations, birthday celebrations, or tailgating at a sporting event.

Owner Ken Fitzpatrick says, “These are such unusual vehicles that are available to the local area and not most cities.” Premiere gives the opportunity to explore new places and have fun with your friends and family in an upscale, yet approachable way. He adds, “When you put 15 to 20 people on a bus, the price breaks down nicely per person.”

Similar to booking a limo or car service, you decide when and where you’d like to go in advance. If your group wants to golf three-four courses one weekend and you don’t want to bring multiple cars, let alone drive after a long day of golfing, Premiere will get you there and back safely. Every reservation includes a professional CDL driver who can drive you to your hotels or destinations up to 12 hours a day.

Based on availability, you can choose which coach to ride in, but they all have the same luxuries. Every bus has flat screen TVs with DirecTV, stereo systems and DVD players, leather seats, granite countertops, an upscale bathroom, privacy doors, and more. The interiors are so lovely, many bridal parties have used them as a place to get ready and take photos. Each bus has character and a story behind it. Fitzpatrick explains, “Half the fleet started in the concert touring world. So we had them remodeled to remove the bunks and bedrooms.

They have custom build-outs and features to make them perfectly comfortable.” You won’t be asking if you’re there yet with such an entertaining and relaxing ride.

You could be traveling in a coach that hosted stars like Aretha Franklin, Sir Paul McCarthy, Alan Jackson, Peyton Manning, and even royal families. Everyone gets the celebrity treatment with Premiere.

MEET LOCAL AUTHOR AND ATTORNEY KEEDA HAYNES

While in college at Tennessee State University, Franklin native Keeda Haynes started dating a man who would change the course of her life. “He asked if I would accept packages of cell phones and pagers for his company,” she says. “It turned out that none of the packages contained cell phones or pagers.”

Keeda, along with 28 others, was indicted on various marijuana and conspiracy drug charges. “Everyone pled guilty except for me,” she says. “I chose to go to trial and exercise my constitutional right.”

Creating Change

WHAT WAS THE OUTCOME? I was acquitted of six charges, but was found guilty of aiding and abetting a conspiracy to distribute 100 to 400 kilograms of marijuana, which carried a mandatory minimum of five years in federal prison. Although I had no prior criminal history, instead of receiving the minimum, I was sentenced to seven years.

Upon appeal, I was re-sentenced to five and released from prison in December of 2006. I was determined to change the system.

WHAT WERE YOUR NEXT STEPS? I went to law school and became a practicing attorney in 2012. I worked at the public defender’s office for six-and-a-half years and came to realize there was an intersectionality of the criminal legal system with so many other issues, like lack of housing and lack of meaningful employment. I didn’t feel as if there was anyone in Congress addressing these issues, so I decided to run for Congress and received 40% of the vote. Today, I work on a national level with The Sentencing Project, and with Free Hearts, a local grassroots nonprofit.

I’m also a member of Delta Sigma Theta and am one of the co-chairs on its social action committee.

WHY DID YOU WRITE BENDING THE ARC: MY JOURNEY FROM PRISON TO POLITICS? I want to encourage people to have conversations about what’s happening in our world. I want them to think about how they can change things.

PREPPING FOR THE CMT AWARDS

Red Carpet Ready with Breland

ARTICLE BY STYLIST MOLLY FREE/INSTAGRAM: @STYLEMEMOLLY | PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

Everyone loves a red carpet - the outfits, the glitz, the glamour, the jewelry! What most do not know is how much preparation goes into a red carpet and that it is more than just shopping.

The prep for an award show starts weeks before, first starting with doing research. Yes, you read that right, research. I like to research past red carpets for the specific show to get an idea of the dress code as well as make sure there isn’t any outfit repeating. After that, I consult with my client to get an idea of what type of look they are going for, what they feel best in, and what they do not feel best in.

Next, I reach out to any brands myself and/or ones the client has relationships with to see if they would be interested in partnering for the event. It gives the brand great press and content, and we get to choose from special pieces. From there the fun part begins -- the shopping!

I shop online and in-person to begin prepping for a fitting. You want to ensure that you have a variety of options, colors, and styles for a fitting to cover all of your bases.

When shopping, you have to think of every situation from what will the weather be like down to the possibilities of the colors the carpet will be. It is some heavy lifting - shopping and then lugging multiple pieces of clothing, shoes, and jewelry back to the car. I also loop in my tailor to ensure they can be there for the fitting for any alterations that are needed.

During the fitting, I already have an idea of what I call my “hero” looks, the looks I think would be best. However, I let the client shop the rack first so they can pick out their favorites. From there, we try on, take photos, and do any

tennessee's TO presidential KNOW homes ARTICLE BY ED ATLAS

PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

The Volunteer State is home to three presidential homes and historic sites. Individually and collectively, they provide context to the life and times of the men who lived there and how they helped shape American history. All that, and they’re a lot of fun, too!

the hermitage

Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage is highly regarded as one of the nation’s finest presidential sites. From the mansion to the surrounding grounds, it is opulent in every way. The nation’s seventh president was also a businessman and military leader and The Hermitage was prominent in each of those endeavors.

Operated by the Andrew Jackson Foundation, The Hermitage hosts numerous historical and social events throughout the year and there are dedicated exhibits that address The Hermitage’s legacy of slavery.

BENEFITS OF BOTOX FOR MEN

ONE: REDUCE WRINKLES

TWO: LESS SWEATING

Facial wrinkles are a real concern for many people, whether male or female.

Thankfully, we have Botox! Men can benefit from this in areas such as forehead, crow's feet, and glabella (11s). This will not only take years off, but we have also seen it boost our male patients' confidence!

Yep, you read that right. Some men just sweat more than others. Botox injections will paralyze those pesky sweat glands and reduce the amount of sweat produced. No more worrying about sweating uncontrollably when you really aren't even that hot, we got you covered.

THREE: MANAGE ACNE

FOUR: CHISLE JAWLINE

Injecting Botox can curb oil production, which in turn will help reduce breakouts. This isn't a cure to acne, however, receiving Botox injections into those muscles can stop the oil from secreting, which will lead to less breakouts. Seems like a win-win to us!

As you age, your neck and cheek muscles begin to loosen.

Injecting Botox into the jawline can help uncover that chiseled jawline you used to have. These injections will help subtly define the shape of your face. This same injection can also decrease jaw tension.

3 Staycation Tips #1 Block out your vacaaon days in your calendar & tell everyone you’re “Out on Vaca”. #2 Add something resorty to your home to enjoy such as a hot tub or new paao set. #3 Plan some resort accviies during your staycaaon such as a massage, pedi, shopping & dinner out.

A Window Into The Condition of Your Home's Foundation

ARTICLE BY E D ATL A S | PHOTOG R APHY PROVIDE D

H OU SE CA LL | HOM E SERVI CE S

Chris and Mike Smith

It’s that time of year when you’re ready to open a few windows so that the mild spring air can freshen your home. Unless your windows refuse to budge. What happened to them over the winter?

The answer might not be obvious. Those sticky windows could be the result of your house settling. It could be an indication that your home’s foundation needs to be repaired. “When that happens, people become concerned about the structural integrity of their home and the potential for costly repairs,” says Chris Smith, owner of United Structural Systems (USS). “But there’s no reason to panic. “What we find is that customers are relieved to find out that they won’t need repairs that are as extensive as they thought they would be,” says Smith. “Our project managers are rewarded based upon customer satisfaction, not the value of the job. We might be a specialty contractor but we see ourselves as a problem-solving company. Our goal is to provide peace of mind.”

USS does this by educating customers about what their home needs. Instead of telling them what’s wrong with their house and what it will take to repair, they explain how it happened and how the issue can be solved. “We don’t ask for money until the customer is satisfied,” says Smith. “That’s how confident we are in what we’re doing and how financially stable we are. We know that we’ll get the job done and meet the expectations of that homeowner.”

As a hands-on owner, Smith leads a team that has been repairing basements, foundations and crawlspaces throughout Middle Tennessee since he and his father, Mike, co-founded USS in 1994. In fact, Smith says he was “born with a shovel in my hands.”

He followed his dad to job sites in and around his hometown of New Albany, Indiana. Later, he moved to Nashville to attend Trevecca Nazarene University but his college experience did not include graduation. He started the business out of his dorm room and had 20 employees by his junior year. He counted several professors among his clients.

Over the years, USS has emerged as an industry leader that is actively engaged in training personnel from other companies throughout the country. Along with its stellar reputation, USS has flexible financial terms and provides a transferrable warranty for many of its jobs.

“We’re living in an age when people buy, sell, remodel and flip,” says Smith. “So the warranty is with the house, not the individual.” Foundation repairs and waterproofing can be messy jobs and USS pays particular attention to landscaping that can be in harm’s way. “There’s no denying that every surgery leaves a scar so there will be some inconvenience while this work is taking place,” says Smith.

“However, we take pride in how we clean the job site and communicate with the customer while we’re there. Our greatest work can’t be seen, but what is seen is how we leave a customer’s home. It’s a reflection of the work we do.”

Make A Drees Home Your Dream Home ARTICLE BY LINDA DOHSE | PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

When it comes to building homes, experience says a lot. Drees’ commitment to excellence runs four generations deep; they’ve been family-owned and operated for over 90 years. Drees first entered the Nashville market in 2001 when they acquired Zaring Homes, a luxury builder known for handcrafting premium homes, that had already been active in the area for 15 years. The best part of this story is that several of the original Zaring employees are still with the Drees team today.

When building a home with Drees, customers have the freedom to tailor their dream home inside and out.

They can design their home to match their personal lifestyle, working with the Drees team of architects’ award-winning floor plans, exclusive options, and impressive designs. Drees has a reputation for doing it all, be it quality construction, stylish design, customer service, or financial savvy. Excellence is built into the Drees family tradition of home building and

they take pride in their strong homeowner recommendation rate. Drees knows that while industry accolades and rankings are important, what means most to them is what their homeowners have to say.

Drees Homes’ principles and expertise make building a custom home an easy and fulfilling experience. Their simple and seamless two-phase Custom+ Construct SM approach combines the best of both worlds – custom design possibilities with the efficiencies of production home building. This makes it easy for homebuilders to get the home they want at a price they can afford.

Their state-of-the-art design center is where function meets fashion, and a professional design consultant will help turn a customer’s Drees home into their dream home. The Lobliner family recently built their dream home and shared, “The best part was picking everything we wanted and seeing it all come together. We loved that Drees has a design center where you could see so many different options all in one spot.”

Drees Homes has earned the title of “America’s Best Builder” (twice) from Builder magazine, “National Builder of the Year” from Professional Builder magazine, and the “National Housing Quality Award” from the National Association of Home Builders, making them one of the few builders to win the “Triple Crown” of national home building awards.

Today, Drees Homes is the 18th largest privately-owned home builder, offering a wide variety of communities in Williamson, Davidson, Sumner, and Maury Counties. A Drees home can also be built on a customer’s own lot in a custom community, or via an infill opportunity in historical neighborhoods through Design Gallery Homes

Hatch Show Print Tour Is Something To Be Seen

Have you ever wondered how Printers Alley got its name? In 1870, Nashville was 5th in the nation as a printing center, cranking out bibles, sheet music, and school materials. The proximity to the Cumberland River made the simple work of getting supplies in and shipping completed works out easy.

In 1879, brothers Charles and Herbert Hatch founded what is now called Hatch Show Print. Offering “part history, part how-to, wholly inspiring” behind-the-scenes tours of the working museum, and one of the oldest letterpress print shops in the United States, it is clear why over 100,000 visitors take this fun and interesting tour annually.

Hatch Show Print still creates posters the same way they were produced over a century ago using one of their 10 presses, including a 1900 steam-powered press re-outfitted to use electricity. Using its extensive archive of vintage wood type and carved wood and linoleum blocks, Hatch Show Print creates 500-600 designs and prints roughly 250,000 posters annually.

The iconic look of a Hatch Show Print starts with the signature full justification format. Carved dingbats (think 19th-century clipart) are added to help with justification. Made from wood or linoleum, many of the original Hatch carvings are still in use and can be seen lining the

90

H OT SP OT | ARTS + CU LTURE

60’ long by 15’ high back wall of the print shop. The raised images are inked and hand-fed individually onto the press.

Multiple color posters require a new and separate carving for each color pass.

Part of the beauty of a Hatch Show Print is that each print is authentic, slightly different, and custom-designed with the designer also being the printer. They create large format advertising for musicians, entertainers, businesses, and organizations. Each day something new comes off the presses.

Celene Aubrey, Print shop manager and Director of Hatch Show Print, is excited that the “Future [of Hatch Show Print] as a historic print shop is secure” as it is now part of the County Music Hall of Fame and Museum.

Celene continues “The relationship between the two of us, we tell such a fun, interesting story from so many different vantage points of music in Nashville - and it’s not just country music. We reflect what is going on across the whole broad spectrum of life.”

The tour hosts are engaging and fun, history is shared in a relatable way, and tour participants get to print a Hatch Show Print to take home.

Over the past several years, Cherry Creek has transformed from a place to visit for shopping and dining to a place to stay for several days. Of the five hotels to pop up within the 16-block community, Halcyon was the second to open its doors, back in 2016.

“Adding hotels has been huge for the identity of Cherry Creek North,” said Halcyon Director of Sales and Marketing Candace Duran. “It’s so inspiring to be part of the maturation of the district. They make it easier to stay past 5 p.m., which keeps more people in the neighborhood and supporting area businesses.”

“Cherry Creek North has emerged as a premier travel destination for guests near and far,” said Nick LeMasters, CEO of the Cherry Creek North Business Improvement District.

Now is the perfect time to recalibrate with a weekend getaway at Halcyon, an independent hotel located right inside the neighborhood. Halcyon’s name, inspired by a mythical bird fabled to calm seas, shares characteristics with a Kingfisher Bird—representing happiness, carefreeness and peaceful tranquility. The hotel, with a street reputation for being the ideal spot for design-lovers, features a chic, laid-back ambiance with all the indulgences of a modern, luxury hotel.

It’s easy to let go when you have access to all its amenities like the handcrafted lattes, fresh fruit and baked goods from the Kitchen Counter, which are perfect when heading out to wander the neighborhood. On the way back in, be sure to partake in the daily wine and beer happy hour offerings.

In-room amenities include a record player with a small selection of vinyl, beverage cooler, yoga mat and an array of art in various media, such as sculpture, photographs and prints of paintings and more.

To round out your stay, spring for tickets to a show at The Denver Center for the Performing Arts, or pamper yourself with a spa experience at one of the many neighboring locations. Halcyon offers complimentary access to Denver Botanic Gardens and a Wellness Passport, where guests can work out at any of its Cherry Creek fitness partners for free. Partners

include CorePower Yoga, SoulCycle, Barre3, TruFusion, and CLMBR (formerly Rise Nation).

Dine onsite at Local Jones, with its sophisticated yet approachable atmosphere filled with numerous locally sourced (and delicious!) menu items, or at Quality Italian, a modern take on the Italian-American steakhouse nestled inside a warm, industrial interior, serving scrumptious handmade pasta. Chat it up with the hotel staff to learn details about a cocktail club, hidden away in the basement. (Hint: You’ll need a reservation and the password to enter through the alley.) Burn off extra calories at Halcyon’s in-house fitness center, at the rooftop pool (with killer city views) or borrow equipment for nearly any seasonal outdoor activity at the hotel’s complimentary Gear Garage, offering cruiser bikes, hamboards, tennis rackets, KOTA longboards, sleds, snowshoes, boardgames, Adventure Kits, you name it. If you’ve got a good distance to travel, where on foot or by bike doesn’t make sense, borrow one of the Piaggio scooters to take for a spin. Up on the roof, challenge friends at the hotel’s curling patch, bookings come with a bucket of beer or Topo Chico, or listen to live music.

Denver’s laid-back attitude is exemplified in its neighborhoods. And Cherry Creek and the Halcyon fit the bill for a perfect weekend escape. HalcyonHotelCherryCreek.com

ARTICLE BY KAREN CREASON

Coming from a family of doctors (nine in fact!), Dr. Mary Lynn Moran didn’t have to think long and hard about her career. “[Medicine was] so much a part of what I grew up with, there was no real other choice for me. It was always what I wanted to do.” She was admitted to an accelerated six-year pre-med/medical school program at the University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor, and received her MD degree from the University of Michigan Medical School.

As a psychiatrist’s daughter and somebody who is very empathic, Dr. Moran knew her focus was going to be facial surgery. She started out in Ear, Nose, and Throat, and then once in it, decided that she really enjoyed the reconstructive and the cosmetic side. She completed five years of head and neck surgery training in Boston at the Tufts and Boston University combined program. She then completed an additional fellowship in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery training. Today she is Tennessee’s only female double board-certified Facial Plastic and Reconstructive surgeon (Certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology). This double board certification provided Dr. Moran with a much more extensive and intensive education training experience on the face - “taking the face apart and putting it back together, both the functional and the cosmetic part.”

Three decades later, Dr. Moran is still excited and invigorated by the science and challenge of plastic surgery. “Every day, content comes through that I read because there is always new and exciting stuff. You would not be in the field if you did not find it fascinating.” Her practice encompasses a broad range of both surgical and non-surgical face and neck cosmetic procedures and reconstructive surgeries including eyelid surgery, facelifts, neck lift, brow lift, rhinoplasty, and revision rhinoplasty. She is also a nationally renowned expert in Botox and filler injections. “I love the face, eyes, revision rhinoplasty, and rhinoplasty. I love the transformation you get with a facelift. I love doing facial fillers. I do a lot of Botox, I love it all.” Above all, Dr. Moran provides a caring,

“I have been involved for about 20 years in certifying people to make sure they can call themselves board-certified.”

personalized, and nurturing experience in a safe environment.

Dr. Moran’s approach to any procedure is to educate her clients, find concerns, explain the underlying causes and discuss potential solutions. Using specialized 2D and 3D computer imaging Dr. Moran is able to show her clients the projected outcome of the procedure. “Imaging is helpful. It is almost like they are watching me do surgery. I can show them - this is my aesthetic. This is how I see this looking better.” Possessing an intimate understanding of facial contours, proportions, and movement, her patients emerge with results that are natural and nuanced - and never overdone.

In 2019, Dr. Moran became the first female president of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (A AFPRS). She is

also a senior adviser to the A AFPRS’ FACE TO FACE program, a humanitarian program that provides complimentary facial reconstruction surgical procedures to children with facial deformities who do not have access to doctors with the same kind of education and training as doctors in the United States. She has made three trips to Vietnam and helped to establish their facial plastic surgery and training practices.

In the U.S., FACE TO FACE provides life-changing surgeries to domestic violence survivors, veterans, and active-duty military members who were injured while serving in the United States Armed Forces.

Additionally, Dr. Moran is a senior advisor for The American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS) which is the certifying body for plastic surgeons. “I have been involved

for about 20 years in certifying people to make sure they can call themselves board-certified.”

If the above was not enough to keep Dr. Moran busy, she is passionate about mentoring the next generation of women plastic surgeons. “When I was training, I was one of the very few women in my field. I am really excited for the women that are in this area…we all support each other and I love the empowerment I see now. More and more women are coming up and they are incredibly savvy, sophisticated, and talented.”

Dr. Moran believes “Every surgeon is an artist. Every plastic surgeon has a sense of artistry and a perception of the way they would visualize something, like sculptors.”

If that is the case, then Dr. Moran is the female Rodin and Michelangelo of plastic facial surgery. MaryLynnMoranMD.com

ARTICLE BY JENNIFER BENNHOFF PHOTOGRAPHY BY BETH MILLER

Life is busy for everyone these days. Financially speaking, there are additional stressors for young couples starting families and buying homes, mid-lifers closing in on retirement, seniors assessing long-term care needs, and executors settling estates. For successful navigation, each of these stages require proper planning. This is where Franklin’s experienced Sircy-Hurd Wealth Team, part of Southwestern Investment Group, can help clients reach their destination.

Financial Advisor and Nashville native, Bob Sircy, CPA, is a Lipscomb University graduate and long-time civil servant of the community. Bob brings decades of experience to clients seeking financial management advice. As a former Chief Financial Officer, he has a passion

for finance and takes pride in being able to explain investment terms in a way that is easy to comprehend. “We help clients assess where they are currently, help them verbalize where they want to be in the future, and provide a roadmap to help them get there,” he notes. “As a team, our main focus is to delight our clients and improve their lives over time,” Bob states. This is not only a professional goal, but a personal one as well.

Bob has served on several boards, including The United Way of Metropolitan Nashville and the Christian Business Leaders Roundtable. He currently functions as the Director for the Brentwood Rotary Club. Bob and his wife of over 40 years have raised three children in the Nashville community. Having one son with special needs

inspired them to serve others who are differently-abled through organizations such as The Wang Foundation for Sight Restoration, and Brightstone, Inc. Oftentimes, through his connection to these organizations, conversations arise as his peers experience their own life events. Bob appreciates the opportunity to help them navigate the emotions behind financial decisions. His goal is to be a resource to help families determine the best path forward.

Zach Hurd, CFP, is a Michigan native and former stand-out college athlete. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, Zach offers his expertise in the areas of financial and estate planning, taxes, and retirement. His fiduciary responsibility, as a CFP, commits him

to making decisions with their clients’ best interest in mind. Zach also understands that serving clients well cannot be done without help. He takes pride in the benefits of collaboration among the six-person Sircy-Hurd team. “As the lead advisors, Bob and I foster a culture of collaboration with our client services team. Our clients have six people they can call, at any time, with questions about their insurance needs, charitable giving, college or estate planning.” He further describes this collaborative effort as akin to being co-pilots.

“The client flies the plane, and we continually monitor the navigation system to ensure a successful flight to their destination.”

After nearly 10 years as a member of Business Network International, Zach is often sought out to provide guidance and answer some of life’s toughest questions around family and finances. He and his wife live in the Brentwood area with their two children and Goldendoodle. In addition to their involvement with their local church, they are avid golfers and enjoy spending as much time as they can on the lake.

Honesty and moral integrity are at the forefront for Bob, Zach and the rest of the team. With over $300 million in team assets under management, and $6 billion under management by Southwestern Investment Group, they are accustomed to handling the ups and downs of the financial markets and welcome those client conversations that some advisors may avoid.

“Each year since 1980, the markets have been down by 14% or more at some point during the year,” Bob says.

“But in four out of every five years, the market ends on an upswing.”

Despite the jolts caused by geopolitical events, Zach says that his team continues to re-evaluate investment strategies to help clients not “jump out of the plane.”

Lastly, Bob notes, “Companies making money is what drives the stock market, and individuals make money by staying in the market.” Their goal is to always ensure their clients have a long-term financial plan.

ARTICLE BY KAREN CREASON PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

MEET YOUR NEIGHBOR: CLINT AKINS

Fresh off a cruise, Julious “Clint” Akins is excited to head back to work and continue doing what he loves to do - creating, baking, and decorating desserts at Puffy Muffin. Having celebrated his 20-year anniversary with Puffy Muffin this past month, Clint is living proof that there are no obstacles that cannot be overcome.

Born hearing, Clint became deaf at a very young age. He remembers fondly watching and learning from his grandmother, Rosetta Nevils, as she baked and decorated desserts for her family, church, and friends. Although she succumbed to cancer when Clint was only 10-years-old, sharing time in the kitchen together set Clint up for his life’s work. Long removed from his childhood home on West Main Street in Franklin, and now a proud Franklin homeowner himself, Clint enjoys his work at Puffy Muffin and baking for private clients as well.

Traditional cheesecakes, creme brulee, tarts, elaborate designs, or understated elegance, Clint masterfully does it all.

Many of his cakes are decorated using real flowers and incorporating unique flavor combinations.

When Clint is not baking, he enjoys playing softball with the Metro Nashville Softball Association, traveling, and has even appeared in an episode of “Nashville.”

Clint, who came out several years ago, is proud of who he is and that his hard work, determination, and skills have led to the successes he now enjoys. And to think, it all started in a kitchen on West Main Street with the love of a grandmother.

If you are interested in hiring Clint to create a custom cake, cupcakes, or other desserts for your event, you can email him at jca37064@gmail.com. He will work with you to create the most delicious and decadent desserts. Your guests, and your tastebuds, will thank you!
