Jimmy’s Cleaners Proudly Supports Tennessee Kids Belong
Tennessee Kids Belong equips the community to dramatically improve the experience and outcomes for children in foster care. They envision a Tennessee where: No child is aging out of foster care without a family or a community of support around them; Every single foster family feels the wraparound support of their community - from meeting their tangible needs to their own employers and local businesses supporting their journey; Social workers are thriving and less burned out because they have so many community resources to lean on to help the kids and families they oversee; More than enough foster families are available, at any given time, to take in teens and sibling sets; The need for foster families decreases because communities have done such a great job wrapping around birth and kinship families to prevent many children from entering care; Every child has a home and a sense of belonging.

Eight years ago, when Scout’s Barbershop was just a dream that two college friends envisioned during summer night porch hangs, there was nowhere in
Franklin to get your hair cut that wasn’t either really cheap or extremely expensive. There was no middle ground between a box store or chain that didn’t feel like being on an assembly line or a posh salon where one might feel out of place or end up spending more than they wanted to spend on a haircut.
The two friends, Brooke Allison and Keila Trevino, decided that no one should have to sacrifice the quality of their self-care for convenience, that everyone deserves a haircut they really love at a reasonable price, and that a haircut is an experience that shouldn’t be generic or intimidating. Built on the creed that when you look good, you feel good, and you do good, Scout’s was created with the conviction that every haircut matters and that giving back to the community you are in is an essential part of being a local business.
Brooke and Keila made their way to Nashville from Seattle and Austin, respectively, in 2012, but they met ten years prior to that, in the small farm and college town of Ellensburg, Washington, where they were in a Bible study together and served on mission trips and youth group leadership teams. Fast-forward several years, and Brooke, the founder of Hot Yoga of East Nashville, invited Keila, the Store Director at Birds Barbershop in Austin, to come to Nashville for a visit. The visit turned into a full business plan with the first location in East Nashville secured with a handshake deal.
Scout’s in Franklin was their fourth location, but it was always at the top of their priority list. It took three years and many visits to West Main Antiques, where a friendship with Bill Powell turned into the promise of a space on Main Street in historic downtown Franklin. Another dream come true! Located in the 1940’s former Williamson County Firehouse, the space for the salon offered high ceilings, exposed brick, and large windows that make the space light, airy, and a beautiful spot to visit and get a haircut. Scout’s is located in the middle of the building, behind Franklin Road Apparel on Main Street and Iron Tribe on Fair Street.
Scout’s Franklin welcomes more than 400 men, women, and children each week for haircuts, color, beard trims and styles! They have been voted Best Barbershop in the Nashville Scene every year running and recently voted in the Best of Williamson County! Scout’s is a place for EVERYONE and a place that you can get the experience your hair deserves.
Scout’s is open seven days a week and offers a complimentary New Heights Brewing Company Beer or Waterloo Sparkling water with every haircut. Walk in, call ahead, or book online to make an appointment.

From humble beginnings as an ambulatory practice, Tennessee Equine Hospital has served the Middle Tennessee horse community for over thirty years. Since 1991, co-owner and practice manager Monty
McInturff DVM with partners Matt Povlovich
DVM and Mathew Delisle DVM have grown their business into four locations throughout
Tennessee with an impressive staff of twentyfour full-time veterinarians, including certified veterinary specialists in surgery and internal medicine. Beginning in 2008, the flagship facility in Thompson’s Station expanded to include the current surgical, diagnostic imaging, reproduction and isolation facilities, as well as the lameness and outpatient facilities.
In the fall of 2014, Tennessee Equine Hospital expanded to a second location in Arlington, Tennessee, outside of Memphis. With a 24/7 urgent care diagnostic clinic, TEH West quickly became the prime spot to serve the horses in west Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi. In January 2019, Dr. Matthew Lovell and the team at Lovell Equine Clinic collaborated with Tennessee Equine Hospital to form another satellite location. Tennessee Equine Hospital North in Gallatin, a 24/7 urgent care and outpatient clinic, is well equipped for northern Tennessee and southern Kentucky horses. Through a collaboration with Dr. David Dunlap at North Alabama Equine, the fourth location opened fall of 2019 just over the border in Harvest, Alabama, serving the northern part of that state, as well as southern Middle Tennessee.
After years of focusing on large animal care, the company branched out to serve the small animal friends of the Williamson County community. By focusing on building a diverse team of doctors and technicians that care about your pet, they now have two full-service locations, Berry Farms Animal Hospital located in Franklin and Concord Road Animal Hospital located in Brentwood/Nolensville. Other expansion plans are underway for the spring of 2022.
The small animal hospitals offer annual exams, emergency services, pet boarding and spa services. What sets this business apart from others is the integrative and complementary medicine methods that are not offered anywhere else in middle Tennessee. Their hospitals offer a wide variety of treatment alternatives and integration therapy options for all medical conditions, such as medical acupuncture, herbal medicine, food therapy and tui-na.
Today, Tennessee Equine Hospital and Cupola Animal Hospital have become staples throughout the state of Tennessee -- not only offering exceptional talent, facilities and service, but also new and innovative methods of serving your large and small animals.

Moving the Conversation Forward
THE FULLER STORY
The City of Franklin, along with a community group, installed in recent years, in the Public Square, four historic markers depicting the African American experience in Franklin before, during, and immediately after the Civil War. A fifth marker, a bronze statue of a United States Colored Troops soldier, was erected in the Public Square in front of the historic courthouse this last month.
The City of Franklin and our community have come together to preserve history yet add context and perspectives from all of our community, the good, bad and the ugly. The approach here included peaceful community engagement, reflection, and discussion. Moving the conversation forward by telling the fuller story in Franklin, a different path than monument removal, a way to tell the African American side of the civil war history and aftermath, and to better educate citizens and visitors, and include everyone in the history that is shared in Franklin.
Three local pastors, Chris Williamson, Kevin Riggs and Hewitt Sawyers, and the City’s Battlefield Historian, Eric Jacobson worked for a year with City Administrator Eric Stuckey and Mayor Ken Moore to present the idea of the Fuller Story initiative to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. Their idea included putting educational markers near the monument and around the Square depicting the African American experience before and after the Battle of Franklin and erecting a bronze statue of a US Colored Troop (USCT) Soldier.
The five markers tell the story of an old courthouse on the Square where slaves were bought and sold, the Battle of Franklin, the US Colored Troop Soldiers, and the 1867 race riot that occurred in Franklin and Reconstruction. Private funds were raised to complete the USCT statue with a goal of $150,000.
While many other cities across the South have clashed with the community regarding civil war monuments. This partnership, between local government and community leaders, to tell the Fuller Story made national news and set an example of a different way communities can deal with their past. Our local government and community partners, people of all races and backgrounds, came together to change how Franklin’s story is told to visitors and future generations.
Family. Fun. Friendship.
