It's That Time Again!

Walden Artisan Market

Date/Time:Sat.,January 24, 9:00am-4:00pm, Sun., January 24, 9:00am-4:00pm


Walden Artisan Market in East Nashville

Smock Market



Vintage shopping connotes differently for different audiences. If you're a fashion addict who regularly patronizes your favorite designer (or even has a favorite designer), handmade and pre-loved pieces are great way to save cash. If you're a less-is-more type whose shopping "routine" consist of picking up a 3-pack of Hanes t-shirts and finding your size Levi's at Southern Thrift, they're prohibitively expensive. So for these two demographics, East Nashville's Walden Artisan Market will serve very different purposes: You're either loading up on bargains, or hunting for that special piece that's worth the splurge. Either way, you'll be supporting Nashville's independent artists and retailers. And the weekend-long event (it runs through Sunday) offers more than just clothes; the previous sale featured bags, belts, pottery and paintings.

Be Careful which Gas Station You Use....

Here is an email from the Crime List serv:




Hey Stephen,

If you're able to post this out on the list server I'd greatly appreciate it!

January 10, Saturday morning I filled up my car with premium gas at the Shell Gas station at 766 Douglas Ave. 2 miles down Ellington Pkwy my new car died on the side of the road. It had to be towed back to the dealer. Once the dealer took a sample of the gas from my car it contained 40% water. I have the sample from the dealer and once the tow truck took my new car off I returned to the Shell and took my own sample from the same pump. My sample also contained a large amount of water.

I've never had an issue with this Shell gas station before this past Saturday. Please be aware of this issue and ask them how often they test all the gas grades before you fill up!!

Thanks!
