Honoring Men
Welcome to our June edition, which celebrates and tells stories about remarkable men in our community. Men are often the bedrock of family stability and emotional resilience. Perhaps except for endearing “dad jokes,” men tend to impart invaluable life lessons, instill discipline and nurture growth as fathers, brothers, sons, uncles, friends, colleagues and partners.
Men are integral to communities in various ways, contributing to economic progress, leadership and social support. They often drive innovation and lead in various sectors, including public service, education and the nonprofit sector. Additionally, men can play a vital role in fostering inclusive and equitable environments for all groups.
Thank you for joining us on this exploration of strength, vision and purpose.
Have a sensational summer.

‘Be The Best, Everyday!’ Is Goal Of Three Local Restaurants Plus Catering Enterprise
Five Senses
Hamburgers with mustard only and pepperoni pizza used to rank among favorite meals of Chef Mitchell Murphree. Fast forward to Mitchell's present leadership within three Murfreesboro-based restaurants and a catering business, and diners find his culinary creations now provide fresh, wholesome foods with global flair and innovative accents. And, his personal hamburgers now must be consumed on brioche buns with bacon jam!
As owner of Five Senses Restaurant, Bar & Catering, as well as upscale spot Steakhouse Five, Mitchell also co-owns with Raul Espinosa cocktail bar Five On Black Kitchen and Spirit House, which opened during August 2024. He says spearheading these unique eateries is anchored with a stable core team and great staff built over the years, one that's grown together. In fact, Andrew Deason, now general manager of Five Senses and Steakhouse, has worked with Mitchell for 15 years after starting in various roles. Additionally, one of the bartenders, Stephanie Whiting, has worked with Mitchell for 10 years, starting as a server.
"Being in the restaurant business is actually a lot of work, but it's really fun. I've always loved to cook. Both sets of my grandparents cooked and lived on farms. I enjoyed how food is interwoven into people's lives," Mitchell recalls.
His family had a country ham business, and the expectation was that when he went to college to study food science, he'd join that operation. However, that business's pivot left him without a direct path. He says halfway through college, he got a job at a restaurant in Knoxville, The Tomato Head.
"That's where I got introduced to a whole other world of hummus, tofu, bagels and dough made from scratch. I didn't know what pesto was until then, but I was 21 and just getting a taste of more adult foods," Mitchell says, who remembers then wondering if he could maintain a restaurant job for his entire career.
After graduating from the Culinary Institute of America in New York, which prepared him for perfectionism in the culinary world, he and his sister, Mollie Murphree, opened the Five Senses Restaurant & Bar on Nov.18, 2004. Their goal was to bring a fresh, local-plus-healthy approach to dining in Murfreesboro.
Steakhouse Five is located at 1500 Medical Center Parkway, Ste. 1K.
Five Senses is located at 1602 W. Northfield Blvd., Ste. 515
“WHATEVER CULINARY OPTIONS WEREN’T IN MURFREESBORO HAS SHAPED AND GUIDED OUR CREATIVE OFFERINGS SINCE LAUNCHING FIVE SENSES IN 2004. WE STARTED WITH A COMPLETELY OPEN KITCHEN, WHICH WASN’T TYPICAL AT THE TIME, AND SEASONAL MENU CHANGES. WE WANT EVERYONE TO ENJOY EVERY VISIT.”
~MITCHELL MURPHREE
Chef Mitchell Murphree
"We sought to be a unique dining destination for the area, especially for guests who really want to have something different. We wanted to serve only the highest quality of food, drink and service. Now, we're like a neighborhood spot and vibe, much like (TV-famous) Cheers," surmises Mitchell.
The name Five Senses evolved from the concept that cooking is the only art that requires the use of all five main senses, he adds.
Five Senses Restaurant specializes in fresh seafood, local meats, regional produce and seasonal menus. The dinner, cocktail and wine menus change four times a year, procuring many food items from local farmers, such as Haskell Evans, Simply Pure Sweets, Brass Horn and The Hammery. Of course, Southern classics, such as pimento cheese on freshbaked sourdough crostinis or buttermilk fried chicken, are offered, too.
Five Senses Restaurant and Bar expanded into Five Senses Restaurant, Bar & Catering during the spring of 2007. "We cater any event from small intimate dinners, office lunches and large parties to fundraising events, wedding receptions and community festivals. All our catering food reflects the host's vision for their event," says Mitchell.
He says their catering start began with an on-site breakfast job at Bonnaroo Farm in Manchester. "Our service there grew until we were taking about 90 staff down, working nearly 24 hours a day for five days a week," he adds.
Located at the Fountains at Gateway, Steakhouse Five provides an intimate lifestyle setting with an attentive staff, while serving premium cuts of prime grade beef, a wide selection of hand-chosen whiskeys and curated wine list. This menu also applies local ingredients for garnishes, such as from Pinky's Micros.
Sweets at Steakhouse Five feature options such as Chocolate Profiterole with Chocolate Pâte à Choux and candied cacao nibs.
Five On Black, named in honor of roulette in a Las Vegas manner, is an upscale bar whose bartender is a former New York professional from the speakeasy sector. Mitchell says they serve changing custom cocktails and small plates from a quartz bar, and that their Sunday brunch is popular.
In Mitchell's life, there's literally always something cooking. At home, he says he enjoys making simple dishes, like grilling or fixing a pork roast with mashed potatoes. "I still love cooking at home, with relaxing music or the TV on, and our dogs at my feet, who are hoping I drop something."
He concludes, "You can't have successful restaurants without supportive customers and family, like my wife, Krista. We're blessed to have both types. In fact, at Five Senses some of our regulars come in five nights a week. They always enjoy themselves."

CELEBRATING
5 YEARS OF FIXING HOMES
Mr. Handyman Of Nashville And Murfreesboro Crew Dedicated To Precision, Punctuality
ARTICLE BY JULIE BROWN PATTON
Mr. Handyman of Nashville and Murfreesboro franchise owners are Josh and Tawnya Cline. Together, they with their crew make an especially handy team to have available.
“We aim to make your life easier by tackling the tasks that make a house a home. From fixing what’s broken to improving what’s working, we’re here to help in both residential and commercial tasks,” explains Josh. “We believe in honest work, clear communication and delivering results that exceed expectations.”
Josh says he enjoys blending his project management and hands-on handyman experience to customers’ projects. He adds that because his expertise spans various trades, such as sales for Häfele America Co. and managing Lowe’s installation teams, he’s equipped to handle the spectrum of simple repairs to complex home improvement projects.
“I’ve always been a Do-It-Yourselfer kind of guy. I grew up with my dad in this business. When COVID altered our plans and my
career, I decided to launch my own property services business during November 2020,” he recalled.
Fifteen years of customer service and management operations supporting customers from all walks of life, Josh says prepared him to become a knowledgeable, trustworthy business owner in the home improvement and repair industry.
Technicians within this crew of about a dozen all have at least 10 years’ experience in home repair and maintenance. They handle just about every type of home improvement or renovations, except for roofing. Specifically, they handle electrical jobs, painting, plumbing, remodeling, assembly tasks, floor repairs, window or door services, carpentry, patio or deck assistance, siding repairs, fencing and holiday light installations.
Josh says the entire crew consists of W-2 employees, who have been vetted, including background checks. “Everyone works at my personal house before working at a customers’ home. We are
licensed, insured and bonded. We arrive in marked vehicles, so there are no surprises to our customers.”
Since 2020, Josh says he assembled a team who has supported hundreds of customers, all while maintaining positive work environments that earned them 5-Star ratings and reviews.
One bonus service that Josh says they provide is texting each customer ahead of time with a picture of the technicians or specialists who will be handling jobs at their homes or businesses.
“We approach each project with efficiency, and a focus on high-quality results. And we provide fixed-price estimates,” he assures.
He adds that they offer a one-year warranty on any parts or supplies that they provide, along with a 100% guarantee on the work they deliver.
“We’re goal-oriented, forward-thinkers, strategists and dedicated to keeping customers completely satisfied with our workmanship.”

CLEANSING MORE THAN WINDOWS
5 Brothers Cleaning Boosts Curb Appeal And Property Values While Preventing Future Damage And Improving Health And Safety Of Occupants
ARTICLE BY JULIE BROWN PATTON
"Whether we’re cleaning your windows, power washing your walkways or giving your home a soft wash, we always make a point of treating your property and your time, with the utmost respect," promises Tim Willett, owner of 5 Brothers Cleaning.
As a former software engineer turned entrepreneur, Tim says he wholeheartedly enjoys the immediate results of exterior cleaning, compared to the more abstract work of software. "My grandfather was an entrepreneur, which motivated me, and I hope to have my young sons start getting involved in this business in the next three to five years. I can see them in the future as part of a family-owned operation."
Plus, Tim says he really likes being out in local communities, meeting people and developing meaningful relationships.
He and his crew handle pressure washing, house soft washes, gutter cleaning, roof washing, dryer vent cleaning and window cleaning. Just envision the noticeable differences in clear, spotless windows. Tim says they service both residential homes and commercial buildings.
"Windows are one of the first things people notice about a home or business. Over time, dirt, pollutants and water stains can dull their appearance. Our window cleaning service ensures a spotless, streak-free finish that enhances a property's beauty," he says.
Unlike traditional pressure washing, Tim says their low-pressure, eco-friendly cleaning method safely removes dirt, algae and mold without damaging siding, paint or delicate surfaces.
"Over time, concrete surfaces can accumulate dirt, grime and buildup that dulls a property’s curb appeal. Our expert pressure washing service restores the clean, fresh look of driveways, sidewalks, fences and patios," Tim assures. He says they also offer a separate oil stain remediation option.
One benefit of professional exterior cleaning is that those surfaces better repel dirt, which reduces cleaning frequencies.
"Roofs are constantly exposed to the elements, leading to black streaks, moss, algae and buildup that not only ruin a home's appearance but can also shorten the lifespan of the roof. Our safe, low-pressure roof washing service gently removes harmful contaminants, restoring a roof’s clean, like-new look without causing damage," Tim assures.
In addition to Murfreesboro, Tim says they service the Nashville region, including Arrington, Christiana, College Grove, Eagleville, Franklin, La Vergne, Lascassas and Milton.
One of their newest services, Tim says, is a customized driveway sealing service, for which they pressure wash the area beforehand. He adds that the cleaning and coating helps curb further damage from existing driveway cracks.
"We also have a cool deck recoating service. It literally keeps the surfaces near pools cooler and we can add a grip element for anti-skidding purposes," Tim adds.

40 YEARS OF MAIN STREET Murfreesboro HONORED
CityTV Debuts ‘Special History’ in Main Street Murfreesboro Documentary
Main Street 1985 Board Member Bruce Plummer and Main Street Executive Director Sarah Callender.
The story of the history of Main Street, “Main Street Murfreesboro: Celebrating 40 Years,” is told in a compelling CityTV documentary highlighting the passion of early and contemporary leaders who worked to promote the revitalization of downtown. Watch the 30-minute CityTV documentary on YouTube.com/@CityOfMurfreesboro. Award-winning documentary producer and CityTV Station Manager Michael Nevills produced the documentary in collaboration with the nonprofit revitalization and preservation program
Main Street Murfreesboro, whose supporters are celebrating their 40th year of keeping downtown vibrant and growing.
“It’s important to pause and celebrate those leaders who have been instrumental in making our downtown grow in a healthy way,” says Main Street Murfreesboro Executive Director Sarah Callender. “This documentary is more than a reflection on our past. It’s a celebration of the people, partnerships and progress that have shaped downtown Murfreesboro over the last 40 years."
Andrea Loughry and Sarah Callender.
“We’re honored to have worked with the City of Murfreesboro to capture the voices and vision of those who laid the foundation for revitalizing our historic downtown. Their passion and commitment continue to inspire our work today as we look toward an even more vibrant future.”
She adds, "We’re honored to have worked with the City of Murfreesboro to capture the voices and vision of those who laid the foundation for revitalizing our historic downtown. Their passion and commitment continue to inspire our work today as we look toward an even more vibrant future.”
The Main Street Murfreesboro documentary recognizes Main Street leadership over the 40 years of the movement, featuring interviews with community leaders, photographs of downtown revitalization, renovation projects, and infrastructure investments.
The Main Street program is affiliated with the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s National Main Street Center.
Michael says, “It’s an amazing story about how the downtown area changed and how Main Street Murfreesboro, our city and county governments, and local business owners worked together to make it happen. CityTV is honored to be a part of showing how it happened.”
THE “SPECIAL HISTORY” DOCUMENTARY FEATURES:
• The history of Main Street Murfreesboro from 1985 to present, featuring courageous community leaders who rallied together in efforts to beautify and preserve downtown through partnership and financing.
These early leaders included Anne Davis, who served as the City of Murfreesboro assistant director of community development and a Main Street Board Member, 1985-1988; and Bruce Plummer, banker and Main Street Board Member, 1985; the late Mayor Joe Jackson, banker Jack Weatherford and Blake Tidwell were also part of the backbone of revitalization.
• Murfreesboro’s initial application to the State of Tennessee Main Street Program included letters of support and the necessary $75,000 fundraising to hire a coordinator to begin the effort, but the pledges needed to be achieved in only two weeks.
• Main Street Board members hired Dawn Eaton to serve as the first program coordinator. Dawn, also featured in the documentary, had a love for historic preservation and spearheaded Main Street as executive director from 1985-1995.
• The documentary looks at the way Main Street helped downtown evolve and revitalize over the past four decades from renovation projects to community events and business marketing after the national Main Street revitalization movement began through the National Historic Register.
• The historic downtown business district is made up of more than 500 locally owned small businesses, like Shacklett Photography, who are the heart of the city. City Council member Bill Shacklett discusses the Historic Downtown Murfreesboro Business Alliance of businesses who found ways to work together.
• Downtown communities throughout the nation declined with the emergence of big box retail. The revitalization movement in the 1980s and 90s became a response to lure people back with necessary improvements.
• WGNS Radio owner Bart Walker shares his memories of efforts to relocate electrical lines underground to remove an eyesore to promote economic development
• Andrea Loughry, retired owner of Miller-Loughry Insurance, recalls how not everyone was on board with the necessary expense of making improvements to give the Downtown Square a facelift.
“Murfreesboro has always risen to the occasion by working together,” says Andrea.
• Mayor Shane McFarland, who owns a business in the downtown, sees downtown as the gem of Murfreesboro in a growing city that is expanding in every direction. “There’s something special about coming downtown,” states the mayor. “It reminds us of where we’ve been and the excitement of what’s coming.”
• City of Murfreesboro Development Services Executive Director Greg McKnight, who also serves on the volunteer Main Street Board, emphasizes the vital partnership between the city and Main Street.
• Downtown is the heartbeat and fabric of the community where people gather for Friday Night Live concerts, Murfreesboro Saturday Market, the Christmas Tree Lighting and other events sponsored by Main Street Murfreesboro.
• Rollie Holden, owner of Holden’s Hardware, has long recognized the importance of Main Street working with city and county governments to create a Sense of Place in the heart of downtown with its beautiful Historic Courthouse, one of five original courthouses in Tennessee, as an attractive place to lure diners, shoppers, concert goers, and arts and entertainment enthusiasts.
• Main Street Board Member Gloria Bonner shares how Main Street is instrumental in bringing together different segments of the community from downtown merchants and restaurateurs to MTSU students.
Main Street Murfreesboro collaborates with downtown business owners, the City of Murfreesboro, Rutherford County government, MTSU, and the arts community to promote Main Street and encourage support for the downtown economy and bring people together. The nonprofit Main Street Program is accredited by the National Main Street Program and through the State of Tennessee Economic and Community Development Department.
Murfreesboro CityTV can be found on Comcast Channel 3 and 1094, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, YouTube, Mobile Devices, and the city's website MurfreesboroTN.gov/CityTV.

Men Of Murfreesboro Parks And Recreation:

“Murfreesboro Parks & Recreation is grateful for the many great men serving in various community roles year-round.”
Summer's a very busy time of year for Murfreesboro Parks and Recreation. The bustling of activity is everywhere, from athletics to community centers to maintenance. Here, meet a few of the men who are making a difference; while making sure it all happens without missing a beat.
In a role that has changed many times, Thomas Laird, now an assistant director of Murfreesboro Parks and Recreation, was seemingly made for this career. Starting in athletics, almost 25 years ago as an assistant athletic program coordinator, he's witnessed the progress throughout the Murfreesboro community.
“The level in which our community has grown is phenomenal,” states Thomas. “From our athletic programs to our community centers and fitness offerings, we’ve embraced change, and adapted to meet the evolving needs of those we serve.”
Although some things do stay the same, Thomas has been running the program, “Toddler Time” at Sports*Com for more than 20 years, and he continues to do so each and every Friday.
He also was instrumental in developing the David Price Miracle Field and the Miracle League, now in its eighth season, and has seen 800-plus special athletes play on teams. Thomas is known as the all-time pitcher.
In his current department role, he oversees athletic facility and program operations, including ballfields, Richard Siegel Soccer Complex, Adams Tennis Complex; along with several recreation centers that accommodate the growing population. He says, “There’s nothing more fulfilling than knowing the work I do helps strengthen the community and improve people’s quality of life every day.”
Another happening place is our local community centers, and Lareko Flowers, assistant
recreational facility coordinator, is a man who completes so many vital tasks behind the scenes at Patterson Park Community Center.
Lareko's been with Murfreesboro Parks and Recreation for almost four years and says he really enjoys the dual role of overseeing the rental office and operations. He says he feels Patterson Park is definitely "a difference maker" within the community, offering a safe place for kids to come and just get away for a little while.
“I like that I'm able to meet different people, work with our staff and kids, and that I can develop into the leader I want to be,” shares Lareko.
Some of his favorite events are the African American Celebration, Community Vacation Bible School and Christmas at Patterson Park Community Center.
The 17 miles of Greenway trails, a wide array of parks, many ball fields and more than 10 facilities are cared for by a meticulous and dedicated maintenance team. Shane Phillips has been with maintenance for 25 years. Starting as a groundskeeper, his role has grown and evolved. He now leads a team that's responsible for the daily preservation and management of several city facilities and grounds.
“It sounds cliche, but I really believe as a supervisor, you're only as good as the people on your crew. I've been fortunate to work with some pretty great people,” says Shane.
He also shares that the best part of his job is working outdoors and being in nature. "It's very satisfying to maintain spaces and solve issues that let you see immediate results. Every day's different, but as a team we really value the opportunity to help make our community the best it can be.”

Priceless Memories
Advice Editorial: Gift Giving Inspiration For Dads
ARTICLE BY MEL BOBAN
Learn Together
Learning a new skill together, or sharing a favorite hobby, is a great way to bond. If Dad likes woodworking or fishing, finding a class to attend together goes beyond gifting tools and allows fun.
Retro Movie Night
Enjoy a movie night together with popcorn, candy and all the fixings. Home movies enable strolls down memory lane, or one of his favorite movies from his childhood makes for fun conversation. Ordering a projector for a large format screening makes the movie night feel extra theatrical.
Chef’s Kiss
Take the food pressure off Dad and invite local culinary experts to prepare a meal. A fun theme, based around his favorite vacation, such as Hawaiian food, will make the evening memorable. Alternatively, try a local cooking class together based on his favorite cuisine.
Blast From The Past
Brainstorm childhood memories together and enjoy a day reliving them. If he chaperoned a trip to the zoo, experience it again together. If short on time, stop at a favorite ice cream stand and tell him how much you cherish the memories.
