Home IS Where the Heart IS

Liberty Hall THE FACTORY AT FRANKLIN FOR TICKETS VISIT: AVINTAGEAFFAIR.ORG FOR TICKETS AVINTAGEAFFAIR.ORGVISIT: MONTHLY Publisher’s Letter

Yes, I could go on and on about many different things about September and all its glory – but I’ll stick to this simple but all-encompassing idea of home is where the heart is. And may yours be as filled with hope, faith and love as ours are – this September and all through the year.

Enjoy this incredible issue filled with such beauty. We are ALL truly blessed to call Williamson County home.

Shelly Robertson Birdsong | shelly@robertsonmediagroup.comPublisher

Johnny is my home. Together we have made a home. We have carved out our corner of life in this little corner of the world and we have brought amazing children into it to share a life filled with love and favor and blessing. We are blessed not only as individuals but in our union. Our “home” is blessed with comforts, joy, friends, family, LIFE. Our business is bestowed with so much abundance and gifts of support, community, talent and creativity of spirit, mind and tangible evidence every single day. We get to do what we love; with people we love; in a place we love. Our business is our home as well.

“WHEREVER YOU GO; WHEREVER YOU LIVE, I WILL LIVE. YOUR PEOPLE WILL BE MY PEOPLE AND YOUR GOD WILL BE MY GOD.”

Dear Readers, I could do a lot with that bible verse – glean many a different correlation. But for now, I will simply sit with the basic premise that wherever your people are, your loved ones, is where your home is. And that sentiment strikes a chord in me always, but certainly this month. September is a month I have always loved, it’s one of the most beautiful months of the year as the summer fades slowly into autumn, the backdrop of our world literally glows with light. The light and the smells of September always make me close my eyes and remember some magical moment in time – events, birthdays, football games, grief and loss even, but still…ahh September… They wrote a song about it, so it must be one of the good months, right? I chose it to get married in, and so now, every September, I get to remember that momentous occasion.

“Whether you are a new resident or looking for a healthcare provider, reach out and schedule an appointment at your local clinic,” Burton encouraged. “We can provide a comprehensive medical plan tailored to your specific health needs, and we want to build a relationship with our patients rather than just deal with their Likewise,symptoms.”BJITproviders are devoted to achieving the best outcome for their patients.

“We want to make sure orthopaedic care and physical therapy are more accessible,” Harris said. “A lot of acute orthopaedic problems can be managed better in a clinic setting rather than an emergency room. We provide that access at a lower cost in the heart of communities where our patients live.”

Whether you are planning to visit WMC’s main campus, the Bone and Joint Institute of Tennessee or a satellite location, providers are nearby to help you live a healthy life. To learn more about options in your community, visit WilliamsonMedicalCenter.org or BoneAndJointTN.org. for You. to Home.

Meeting the Need WMC and BJIT are committed to providing exceptional healthcare options where their patients need it most, and establishing locations across the county helps ensure patients receive consistent, comprehensive care.

A Strategic Focus

WMC AND BJIT ARE CREATING GREATER ACCESS TO CARE ACROSS WILLIAMSON COUNTY 24 | SEPTEMBER 2022

More Close

LIFESTYLE YOUR Health & Wellness

WITH WILLIAMSON MEDICAL CENTER

Looking for quality care that is close to home?

Burton said that this trend may have developed because of a lack of access to primary care providers. As a result, WMC is placing more primary care providers across Williamson County. As specialized healthcare needs become apparent in various locations, WMC leadership will expand offerings designed to meet those needs.

Harris, CEO of BJIT agreed. “As the county grows, we want to provide world-class orthopaedic care to our neighbors and support the communities where our patients live and work,” he said. “We want to provide this access to care to patients seven days a week.”

The Williamson 2040 Plan, approved by our county commission, predicts that Williamson County’s population will more than double by the year 2040. And, understanding the appeal of one of the fastest-growing counties in the state, WMC and BJIT leadership is taking strategic steps now to meet current and potential patients where they reside.

“A lot of people are using urgent care locations as their primary healthcare provider,” Burton said. “Urgent care is needed, but primary care is focused on ensuring that the whole spectrum of the patient’s health is managed, not just individual symptoms.”

For the leaders of Williamson Medical Center (WMC) and Bone and Joint Institute of Tennessee (BJIT), “More for you. Close to home.” is more than a campaign theme. It is a principle that guides everything they do. With several satellite locations sprinkled across the county, WMC and BJIT offer comprehensive, exceptional care to Williamson County residents right where they live. “The greater the access to patient care, the healthier our community will be,” said Tim Burton, WMC’s associate administrator of operations. In the most recent Community Health Needs Assessment for Williamson County, access to healthcare was designated as a need. “For us, community access is a major strategic initiative because if we meet their healthcare needs, the community stays healthy,” he Darrensaid.

Over the past few years, WMC has added several healthcare options across the county. From primary care clinics in Franklin, Cool Springs, Nolensville, Spring Hill and Thompson’s Station; the Turner-Dugas Breast Health Center located in the Carothers Parkway Tower (4601 Carothers Parkway); a wellness clinic in Cool Springs (1909 Mallory Lane, Suite 305); and BJIT orthopaedic urgent care and physical therapy clinics in Brentwood, Nolensville and Spring Hill, the Williamson Medical Center family of services is covering as much of the county as it can. “We try to look at each community and evaluate what the need is in that community,” Burton said. “We then work to strategically meet that need by establishing providers who can become a patient-centered medical home for that community.” BJIT opened a location in the Tollgate Medical Plaza in Thompson’s Station in 2018, offering orthopaedic urgent care and physical therapy. Additional locations in Brentwood and Nolensville, offering urgent care and physical therapy, soon followed. A new location in southern Williamson County is also planned for “Our2023.commitment is to be where our patients need us,” Harris said. “Most people want access to orthopaedic care and physical therapy in their community. We want to build those relationships and be the go-to provider in those areas.”

LIFESTYLE Beautiful YOU Turn Back the Clock FIGHT THE AGING PROCESS WITH

BY TARYN KENDRICK, PA-C Have any of you had the moment when you feel great, feel energized, feel happy and then look in the mirror and notice that the way you look is not at all indicative of the way you feel internally? Many patients show and tell us they feel like they woke up one day and their face was drooping. They notice lines around their mouths and excess tissue in the lower face that seemingly showed up overnight. They tell us they feel great, but when they look in the mirror, they are almost unable to recognize the person looking back at them. This is normal. It is very difficult to accept, but it is unfortunately very common, normal and a feeling that most everyone experiences at some point in their aging process.

The aging process is complex and multidimensional. As we age, we lose collagen, fat and bone, which leads to dropped tissue, ligamentous laxity and transitional breaks in the tissue due to the loss of structural support of the midface. Also, we lose elasticity which leads to loose skin and crepiness.

+ SURGERY

The trick is to figure out which option is the best fit for you at this point in your life. Are budget and downtime a concern? If so, you may be better suited to start with injectables and laser treatments. Do you have severe volume loss and need numerous syringes of filler, it may be time to consider surgery. Is the integrity of your skin such that you need preparatory work to improve elasticity before your surgical procedure? Then, you should probably start with treatments such as microneedling that can help stimulate collagen production. This is when guidance from a trusted team of cosmetic surgeons, aesthetic injectors and licensed aestheticians is crucial! When it comes to antiaging, collaboration is vital, honesty is essential and transparency is a must. There are times when dermal filler will not give the results a patient wants. Your injector should tell you that, refer you to a trusted surgeon and NOT encourage you to invest in numerous syringes of filler that will not give you the desired results! However, there are also times that a full face treatment of Botox, a Fraxel Dual treatment to erase the pigment and stimulate collagen production, and a few syringes of dermal filler can completely transform and take years off your face without the downtime and investment of surgery.

The next question we get is, “Is it time for me to get a facelift?” This is a loaded question with so many variables that need to be considered and, unfortunately, cannot be answered with a simple “yes” or “no.” Are you a candidate for a facelift? Perhaps. Would you be better suited for nonsurgical, full-face correction with dermal filler, threads and resurfacing lasers? This is also possible.

Find a team that will treat you like they would their mother, brother or best friend. If you find a team that tells you “no” to something you really want because, in their experience, it will not yield the results you want, that is probably a great sign! Likewise, if you find a provider willing to tell you things you may not want to hear but is honest – also a great sign.

While I can not speak for everyone, I do feel I can speak for most about why we went into this industry. Seeing our patients light up after their treatments and procedures have brought us to tears more than we can count. It brings us such joy seeing women and men prioritize themselves, and knowing we were just a tiny fraction of the restoration of their confidence is the best feeling. Our biggest piece of advice: This industry is overwhelming. We know that! Find providers that are invested in you and your journey because having a driven, honest team behind you is invaluable!

PRESERVING & RESTORING

“When W.W. Harlin Sr. arrived in Nashville in 1909, the last thing on his mind was leaving a legacy in the horse business. Born in 1886 as the youngest of four children, Wirt Harlin had left his native Gamaliel, Kentucky, seeking to improve his prospects. His father was known to raise only quality livestock, including some of the finest saddle horses in the area. But, as a young man, Harlin quickly concluded that his future would not be found by tilling the soils of Monroe County, Kentucky, so he headed to Nashville,” writes James Harlin Hayes, son of Harlin Hayes.

FARMHOUSE 28 | SEPTEMBER 2022

From the 1940s until the early 2000s, the farm served mainly as a breeding operation run by the Harlin Family. In 2007, the City of Franklin opened the 200-acre Harlinsdale Farm as a passive park for the community’s enjoyment. Today, Friends of Franklin Parks has committed to raising $750,000 by working with the City of Franklin on the complete restoration of this historic treasure. Once restored, the Hayes House and event lawn will offer rental space for weddings, arts festivals, non-profit fundraisers, corporate events, and more, and provide the platform and space for educational opportunities about Harlinsdale Farm, agriculture and equestrian history. Learn more at friendsoffranklinparks.org.

Harlinsdale Farm has been called the most significant historic farm associated with the modern Tennessee Walking Horse industry. Now known as The Park at Harlinsdale Farm, much has changed but some remains the same. As people pass the property, the beautiful Main Barn stands out to many, but just off to the left of the Main Barn sits the modest Hayes House. The Hayes House was the historic Victorian farmhouse that long served as the anchor home for the Harlin family at Harlinsdale Farm.

The family lived in the house until Harlin Hayes died in the 1980s. After the Hayes family moved out, the house served as a painting studio for the Harlin family. Once the Harlin family sold the property to the city for park land in 2005, the house sat vacant. In 2004, James H. Hayes completed a thirty-seven-page document telling the story of Harlinsdale’s history based on his own memories, his relatives and those who did business with the farm.

“I am the son of long-time Harlinsdale manager, Harlin Hayes. Born on the farm in 1940, I grew up on Harlinsdale and was immersed in the walking horse world from an early age. I always had a great interest in Harlinsdale and the role it and Midnight Sun played in the walking horse industry. Over the years, I interviewed many well known horsemen about their relationships with Harlinsdale. In addition, I spent many hours interviewing W.W Harlin Sr. and Harlin Hayes about the earliest days of Harlinsdale. Through those interviews and conversations with Bill Harlin, I have been able to fill in the blanks where my memories were unclear. After the death of Harlin Hayes in 1980 and W. W. Harlin Sr. shortly after, many urged me to write a history based on my own memories as well as those of my kinsmen and those who did business over the years with Harlinsdale. This history is the result of those requests.”

HouseHayes WILLIAMSON COUNTY’S HARLINSDALE

COMMUNITY Days Gone By

“It was 1932 when Wirt began seriously looking at land near Franklin.” Then, “sometime in the early thirties, Harlin purchased a large tract and a dilapidated old house one mile north of Franklin. The house is now known as Jasmine Grove and sits at the head of Winslow Drive (formally known as Miles Manor). The farm property had fallen into receivership, and through the purchase, the nucleus of Harlinsdale Farm was formed,” said James Harlin Hayes. Wirt’s first step in fulfilling his promise was to resurrect the old house and make it livable. Unfortunately, the building had fallen terribly, and pigeons roosted in the structure. Wirt realized he would need trusted help to put his plan together, so he convinced his young nephew, Harlin Hayes, to move from Gamaliel to Franklin to take over operations as farm manager. So, in the mid-1930s, Harlin Hayes and his family joined the farm, and lived in what is now known as the “Hayes House.”

I am speaking for myself and over seventy-five percent of the 3,200 REALTORS® in Williamson County when I say we are not selling houses to earn big commission checks. Instead, we are investing in the lives of our clients, sometimes showing hundreds of properties over a series of years to find that one special place that meets the needs of the client we love as part of our family. We work a flexible job so we can commit to serving on boards and in organizations outside our day job to help make this community a place we all want to live and work. It is more than houses. It is helping you find a home. And, we are blessed to walk in your journey and get compensated to do so. from the WILLIAMSON COUNTY ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS

WCAR is essential to the community because we support what makes Williamson County the best place to live. We are fighting for the private property rights of our neighbors daily. We are staying informed on what is going on with our local municipalities, county, state and nation regarding land development and restrictions, taxation and other legislation that may affect Youhomeowners.mayhave noticed people moving to Williamson County and the Nashville area in droves. Why? Because the best-kept secret in the world got out. Not only is this a beautiful part of the country, but it is also a fabulous place to live and work. All of the inward migration has created an exciting housing market with the average home sale price in Williamson County staying above the $1 million mark this year. But, as the country talks of inflation and tanking markets, what can we expect to happen here? Take a breath, folks. We are going to be okay. Is normalization happening in our industry? Yes. Are current interest rates affecting consumers’ ability to purchase? Of course. But, it is not time to panic. A balanced real estate market is considered to have a four to six-month supply of inventory. Williamson County has just under a two-month supply, creating a significant inventory shortage. Although we have seen average sales price increases yearly by over twenty percent, even a considerable slow down still makes real estate a wise investment. We still have very stable industries, favorable tax structures, a financially stable local and state government, and the best school system in the state, all of which provide buffers for the housing market.

I am Misty Woodford, the current President of Williamson County Association of REALTORS®.

I began my career in Tennessee residential real estate in 2007 after having my first child. Having a background in real estate, a love for investing in people and my husband owning a construction company, it was a natural progression. Once my kids were settled into school, I began diving into real estate full time and became involved in the Williamson County Association of REALTORS®(WCAR).

I am also the widow of a residential contractor and fellow REALTOR®, Jeff Woodford, with JPWoodford & Co. We have helped people buy and sell many homes in the area and hung drywall, painted and remodeled even more of them. I live in South Franklin near Berry Farms with my kids, Lexi Kate and Sam, and dogs, Bentley and Cutie. I love living in this area because of the rolling hills and gorgeous sunsets I see off my front porch at night. Yet, being less than five minutes from my favorite clothing boutique, the best Tito’s margaritas and the interstate provide us with many of the conveniences we appreciate. I was born and raised in Kentucky, but my heart has absolutely found its home in Franklin.

Brentwood Brentwood was incorporated in 1969 with a population of 3,378. It is now a premier suburban residential and office community. Much of this growth was facilitated by the construction of I-65 in the 1960s, the Moores Lane interchange in the mid-70s and the Concord Road interchange in the 80s. Also, the development of Maryland Farms from Truman Ward’s horse farm into a business park in the 70s and 80s brought an influx of thousands of workers daily, which led to the development of other businesses and services.

This fall, when the Titans’ 2022 football season will kick off on September 11th, the once fun-talk will become a reality. Corcoran Reverie made its debut as the Titans’ official real estate brokerage with its brand name flashed across multiple screens throughout Nissan Stadium. “Part of our partnership package is that we get a lot of light time… And we’ll have a spot on the actual scoreboard,” Christoffer said. “We’ll be in the concourses and all over the grounds.” a Touchdown in Nashville

Beverly said that Corcoran Reverie’s commitment to excellence and recent success in gaining a foothold in the Nashville real estate market — with the acquisition of Worth Properties LLC — makes it the perfect fit for the Titans franchise. “One of the goals of our corporate partnership program is we want to align the Titans with the best and highest quality brands out there, particularly the ones that impact middle Tennessee,” Beverly said. “We see ourselves as a premium brand, so we want to partner with other premium brands. Corcoran Reverie has a great national reputation. They’re a leader in their field.” Perhaps the strongest connection is the one that exists between Titans fans and Corcoran Reverie’s home base of 30A, where an increasing number of Nashvillians — many of whom have migrated from California and New York in the past few years — are spending regular vacations and purchasing second homes. “We consider our market to be, obviously, the state of Tennessee, but we also reach into southern Kentucky and northern Alabama, and the one thing that folks from all three of those states like to do is hit the beach in the springtime and summer down on 30A,” Beverly said, adding that he has personally made the drive several times in the past few years. “The reality is that a lot of our fanbase spends time down there — 30A is officially a thing here!”

Chief partnership officer Christoffer Fasth was no exception. “I think Hilary and I were driving in the car, and I looked at Hilary and I was like, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool to partner with the Tennessee Titans being that they’re the largest organization in that area?’” he recalled. “And it was just fun-talk.” The couple shared their idea with a Corcoran Reverie investor who had a key connection to Nissan Stadium, the Titans’ home field, and were invited to meet with Titans executives. Introductions were made, visions and values aligned and a dynamic partnership was forged. “It just snowballed from there, and it was quite amazing,” Christoffer said. “I think they saw aligning with us as an elevation.”

CORCORAN REVERIE BREAKS GROUND AS THE OFFICIAL REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE OF THE TENNESSEE TITANS.

The exclusive partnership entitles Corcoran Reverie to promote itself alongside the Titans while the Titans, in turn, introduce and promote Corcoran Reverie to their fans, staff and players. “We couldn’t be more excited or more proud to be partnering with a brand like Corcoran Reverie,” said Gil Beverly, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing and Revenue Officer for the Titans. “We have learned a lot about them and have a crazy amount of respect for Hilary and her team. We just think the sky’s the limit with this partnership.”

Corcoran Reverie Scores

And while their’s is certainly a lucrative partnership, the underlying relationship is one rooted in respect and trust, he said. “We have so much in common, and we have become good friends with the people in this organization,” Christoffer said. “When we go up there, we get invited to dinner. When they come down here, they get invited to dinner. It’s not just business.”

The Corcoran Reverie leadership team also plans to spend plenty of quality time in Nashville during the rest of the 2022 football season. They will be regular and enthusiastic occupants of their suite at Nissan Stadium, hosting clients and other associates while they watch the Titans rule on the field.

For Christoffer, a long-time and loyal New Orleans Saints fan, it’s been easy to make room in his heart for the Titans and their fans. “Now I just have a second team that I get to cheer for and interact with on more of an intimate level,” he said. “It’s going to be amazing!”

Hilary and Christoffer are especially excited to collaborate with a company known for generously giving back to its surrounding communities. For decades, the Titans have lived up to their mission statement — “to win, serve and entertain” — by having an active presence in the community.

“We’re coming off a season where we were the 2021 regular season American Football Conference champions,” Beverly said. “We’ve got a lot of exciting young players. We’ve been pretty competitive in the past few years, and we expect to be again this year.”

Corcoran Reverie has also embraced its chance to step out as a corporate citizen and recently served as the title sponsor of the popular pre-season Titans Foundation 5K — where thousands of runners finished on the fifty-yard line at Nissan Stadium. The company will also be the official sponsor of community tailgate events at every Titans home game throughout the 2022 season. “Stuff like that is very, very big for us,” Christoffer said. “For us to do things that are community driven really speaks to who we are as a company.”

Beverly said it’s not so much an obligation as it is the simple belief that serving others, particularly in a time of need, is the right thing to do. “From our team owner on down, we just believe that community is a core value for the team,” he said. “We take being a corporate citizen very literally. Obviously winning is part of the football aspect, but the role we play in this community goes far beyond entertaining folks ten games a year at the stadium.”

The Titans organization also shows up when duty calls. “Unfortunately, we have had plenty of opportunities to engage in disaster relief, dating back to the tornado of 2020 that struck the heart of Nashville,” Beverly said. “Days later we had coaches, players and staff literally in the streets cleaning up stuff, delivering food to people, delivering blankets.”

One of the team’s priorities is growing the sport of football and making it more accessible in cities and towns across the Nashville area. In 2021, the Titans partnered with public schools in Williamson County, a suburban area south of Nashville, to introduce girls flag football. And this year the team is launching the same effort with Metro Nashville Public Schools.

“We’re really creating the opportunity for young women to learn and play the sport,” Beverly said. “It’s an opportunity that frankly just hasn’t been out there before.”

Hilary and Christoffer agreed, adding that the geographical connection is a vital part of the lasting relationship they are building with the Titans franchise. “Nashville is basically an extension of our 30A market,” Christoffer said. “So many people in Nashville have a second home on 30A.” Add to that the Titans’ massive reach and appeal across multiple Southeastern states and the partnership is a win-win for all involved. “Nashville and this team are only growing,” Christoffer said. “I believe when you put two high-end brands together, success just goes up exponentially.”

THE ALLURE OF COFFEE TABLE BOOKS

THE COFFEE TABLE

First, carefully curate the coffee table books for the space. Next, decide on a color scheme and consider removing book covers to reveal hardcovers. These are typically textured with solid colors, creating a cleaner look!

In the 1960s, coffee tables became more popular due to the innovation of central heating in homes. Before this, furniture had to be arranged around the fireplace. So, with a

Ready for the fun part? It is time to style your coffee table books! This is your time to personalize the book stacks and add unique pieces you have collected. First, layer your coffee table books with décor items such as a candle, catch-all tray, picture frame, plant, a vase of flowers or, my favorite, a decorative box to hide remotes. Then, play with the design by layering different items until you get a visual that grabs you!

Now it is time to style and stack. Stack your largest book at the bottom and end with the smallest on top. I have always heard from my mom and aunts to decorate in three’s or at least odd-numbered groupings and from my research, they stand correct. For a round table, stack your coffee books in one corner; imagine the table as a triangle, with three corners. For a square or rectangle table, divide your table into quadrants. You can use

LIFESTYLE Read Between the Lines Your Décor Aesthetic

Consumers, decorators and homeowners alike are drawn to coffee table books because of their “ability to expose large audiences to previously thought, outof-reach topics ranging from classical art to physics to architecture, often for under $100,” says bookriot.com. Additionally, according to psychologists, coffee table books can trigger memories of reading oversized books as a child, providing comfort and nostalgia. Also, coffee table books are not just for a coffee table. They can be placed on bedroom nightstands, home office desks, entryway consoles and dining room sideboards; really anywhere that suits your fancy – get creative! Plus, the longevity of coffee table books – especially if you have kiddos running around – is quite impressive! So start building that collection because with books becoming increasingly digitalized, these will soon be collectibles, possibly few and far between.

Every home needs a pop of color. A conversation starter. A piece of décor to express who you are. Look no further… coffee table books are it! Coffee table books are typically oversized, hard-covered books that serve the purpose of provoking conversation while adding volume and sometimes color to a space. Not to mention, coffee table books are authentic collectibles that will never go out of style. So, before you start stacking, let me tell you about the history behind coffee table books!

HOW TO BE AN EXCELLENT GUEST

64 | SEPTEMBER 2022

Absolutely no LED light bulbs...anywhere. Only soft white and the dimmer, the better. Start with sixty watts and go down. There is nothing worse than an overhead light. Ask anyone.

Music is key...always have a soft playlist going – the sound of clinking glasses should only be heard inside the dishwasher.

Excellent smelling candles in the powder room at all times; my go-to is Diptique “Bais” always a crowd favorite. That’s one hostess gift no one would place in their gift closet.

In 1997, Mike Ford started Ford Classic Homes by building three to five homes a year in Williamson County and expanding his business as the market grew. Today the company has grown to over fifty employees and has built well over 1,000 homes. After more than two decades, Ford Homes worked to build their reputation on a commitment to excellence while providing an exceptional home-building experience. As Williamson County has continued to grow, Ford has worked to continue to create and build homes that highlight the underlying tenants of the Ford approach: demonstrating the highest levels of honesty, integrity, teamwork, professionalism and proven customer service. In an area rich with history, Ford works to preserve and protect the history and architectural standards of the area.

Most recently, Ford Homes partnered with the African American Heritage Society (AAHS) to rehabilitate the McLemore House and Museum in downtown Franklin. McLemore descendants occupied the home for 117 years before it was acquired by the AAHS of Franklin and Williamson County in 1997. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999, and shortly after, in 1998, renovations began to turn the home

All new metal roofing was added, and the siding was replaced with Cypress bevel siding. All ten windows were replaced, and half-round gutters were installed around the roof’s perimeter. Finally, the existing columns and concrete porch were replaced with an era-appropriate wood deck and solid timber Thiscolumns.year has also seen the launch of another new community developed and built by Ford Classic Homes, SouthBrooke.

A standout feature will be the large-scale amenity center and 142-acre natural park area with walking and hiking trails exclusively for SouthVale and SouthBrooke homeowners. Currently building in six communities across Tennessee, this year will also see the launch of Ford Homes’ new luxury home community, Rosebrooke, in Brentwood and the expansion of Ford Homes into Alabama as they join the Village of Providence in Huntsville, Alabama, and Village at Oakland Springs in Madison, Alabama.

“You never get a second chance to make a first impression.” – Will Rogers. And Bo Patten didn’t need one.

Williamson County has a fantastic sense of community. It has all the feels and charms of a small town but the modern conveniences and luxuries of a big city! Our residents are involved and caring folks. It really makes Williamson County a fantastic place to call home.

My late mother is a huge inspiration in my life, as were my late grandparents. Unfortunately, my dad passed away when I was three years old, so I honor all of their memories and endeavor to be the best I can be, professionally and personally.

What has motivated you to get to where you are in your career?

How have the qualities of being a Gentleman helped shape your career in the real estate industry? Real estate is a PEOPLE and customer service business. Treating people fairly and politely and how you would want to be treated has prepared me to serve our membership. I love to see our members succeed in their careers and make sure that our Association is here to help them in any way we can as we grow with them in their real estate journey. What advice would you tell your younger self today? Be patient. Enjoy the present moment and life’s little pleasures. You never know when you will not have the chance to again.

What are some of your hobbies and favorite pastimes?

How would you describe the real estate market over the past two years? What about the next two?

One word. Insane! The growth we have seen in middle Tennessee is just further evidence that Williamson County, and the Nashville area, will continue to be one of the best places in the country to live, work and raise a family. We have seen our county median home price continue to rise over the last several years, and I think it will continue to rise but not quite as sharp as it has been. We have already seen a slight slowdown in the market with the recent rise in interest rates. Still, middle Tennessee will continue to be a moving destination thanks to the excellent leadership of our state and county.

What does being a Gentleman mean? What three qualities do you feel a Southern Gentleman should uphold? Being a Southern Gentleman means having a deep love of family, especially your mama. I am a proudly admitted mama’s boy. I lost my mother in 2012 to early on-set dementia when she was fifty-seven, but she is always with me in spirit, watching over me, and having that drive to make her proud is important to me. Second, being a Southern Gentleman means having a strong desire to leave your community in a better place than how you found it or came to it. Whether it is involvement in nonprofits, your church or religious organization, or volunteering, we should always try to find a way to give back. Thirdly, do not lose sight of the small pleasantries and politeness that make the South special. Little things like holding the door open, giving up your seat for someone else, saying yes ma’am/sir, no ma’am/sir, please and thank you. The fourth – bonus point – is a keen sense of fashion. A good seersucker suit or two or three is a must!

Cooking is a huge passion for me. Growing up in the South, food meant love. Cooking a great meal and hosting friends and family is a fantastic way to show people we care about them. Visiting various farmer’s markets and local stores is a great way to source local ingredients that can tie together the meal and the experience and help create a story behind the food.

Danielle Revelette & Mason Revelette

The Rutledge in the Cool Springs area of Franklin has become a local favorite, and you may remember reading about a tasting I did there when it opened in 2019. I got to catch up with the team at The Rutledge to try some new dishes and discuss the recently opened Nashville location and, trust me, it was an equally delicious experience! Mason and Curt Revelette own and operate both of The Rutledge locations, and Danielle Revelette is the designer. The new location is at the Four Seasons Hotel in Nashville. They are excited to be a part of downtown Nashville at the brand new and beautiful Four Seasons. Its location puts you right next to concerts at Ascend Amphitheater, Nissan Stadium, and amid the sights and happenings of everything downtown Nashville offers. It is the perfect place to stop in for a bite and a drink before a show or to celebrate. Both locations offer similar menus, but they each offer their own unique touch in many different aspects. & Palates GRILLE &Pours Palates

THE RUTLEDGE – A MODERN AMERICAN

LIFESTYLE Pours

72 | SEPTEMBER 2022

BY ANNA ROBERTSON HAM

I got to try some of the dishes and drinks at our recent tasting, and it was overwhelmingly fabulous! First, let me say that the menu will please everyone. Their vast array of choices range from a perfectly cooked steak, to sushi made fresh with tuna flown in overnight from Hawaii. As a starter, I tried the Tuna Crisps, which are crispy wonton chips topped with Ahi tuna, jalapeno-mango salsa, avocado, micro greens and teriyaki. This is a wonderful sharable plate, and I loved the mix of flavors and textures. This would stand alone as a meal as well. From the sushi menu, I tried the Pressed Tuna, which comes with tuna atop a bed of rice, avocado and spicy mayo. If you are a sushi fan, this dish will definitely please you…and if you are not a sushi person, then this is a dish to try anyway – and you may just become a convert! It is simple and flavorful.

Next, I tried the Signature Lobster Roll – a Connecticut-style with New England lobster in tarragon tartar, on a potato roll. It came with giant and crispy potato chips – completing the dish. This sandwich, right here… YUM! Lobster lovers, sandwich lovers, foodies – try this for sure! From the dessert menu, I got to sample the Apple Cobbler. Hello, Grandma’s kitchen! This cobbler was served perfectly warm with ice cream atop. It tasted like you just stepped right into a fall day. Not too sweet, with some crispness to each bite. Go just for this dessert alone – and leave happy. No tasting is complete without trying a signature cocktail! I tried the Espresso Martini. This drink can sometimes be made too sweet or too strong, but at The Rutledge, they have found the perfect recipe to make this an easy-to-sip drink.

The Rutledge Downtown Nashville 151 1st Avenue South Nashville, TN 615.678.806337201therutledge.co

So, if you didn’t get the cobbler, you could end your meal with this delicious drink. I also had the opportunity to try Mason’s new wines, Revelette Wines Cabernet Sauvignon and Red Blend. Both pours were smooth and delicious. I am a red wine drinker, and I truly enjoyed both selections and encourage you to try them when you visit The Rutledge.

The Rutledge is run with a passion from locals – a family that has been in the restaurant business for years right here in middle Tennessee. It is not a big chain eatery. The Revelettes strive to offer the best options possible with a modern vibe yet boasting classic favorites on their menu. I hope you go visit one of their locations soon for a special occasion or just a night out. I know you will want to make it a regular, favorite eatery.

FEATURE Come Fly With Me Finest ALONG FLORIDA’S GULF COAST 80 | SEPTEMBER 2022

The guest rooms and suites include stylish furnishings yet remain authentic to the local, cultural surroundings. Larger than typical luxury resort guestrooms, they include custom furnishings, luxurious bedding, elegant bathrooms featuring louvered shutters and generous balconies or terraces.

Located along one of America’s top beaches and adjacent to a 208-acre environmentally protected state park, The Henderson is reminiscent of a grand seaside manor of yesteryear. It captures the romance of traditional coastal architecture by complementing its stunning natural backdrop with striking shingles, steep gabled rooflines and a design reverence to Florida’s nautical history.

From the moment guests arrive at The Henderson, they are embraced by a residential and old-world charm that is contemplative of the surrounding, unspoiled beauty of the area. The lobby feels like an expansive living room with high ceilings and a wall of windows that faces a maritime forest and the beach.

The resort features 170 spacious guestrooms and suites, a nature-inspired spa, Gulf-to-table cuisine, an octagonal bar with panoramic Gulf views, a rooftop bar, two outdoor swimming pools, 30,000 square feet of flexible indoor and outdoor event space, and private beach access.

THE HENDERSON BEACH RESORT & SPA YOURWILLIAMSON.COM | 81

The Henderson Beach Resort & Spa is one of the finest resorts built along Florida’s Gulf Coast in a generation. The sweeping resort overlooks Destin’s famed sugar-white sands and emerald-green waters.

The Henderson celebrates Destin’s Gulf-to-Table seafood traditions at its Primrose restaurant, named for Destin’s first commercial fishing boat. In addition to fresh catches bought daily from fishermen, the menu offers fine selections of steaks, chops and shareable plates. The open-kitchen design restaurant also features a sushi bar and extensive outdoor terrace seating. With a striking octagonal-shaped design, Horizons Bar presents signature cocktails, panoramic views of the Gulf and adjacent nature preserve.

The interior feels like it has been part of the coast’s landscape for over 100 years and showcases wooden floors and reclaimed beams and trusses. Specifically designed to connect guests to the environment, the resort is infused with several intimate gathering areas and commissioned artwork created by local and regional artists.

On the ground floor, Sea Level poolside grill offers chilled drinks and casual fare, while the old-fashioned ice cream shop, Sprinkles, serves up frozen delicacies and children’s candy favorites.

For those wanting a more active setting, The Henderson also offers a sun-lit fitness room and a variety of other water experiences, including a family-oriented pool with a lazy river and an adult zone and pool.

The Henderson also features nearly 30,000 square feet of unique indoor and outdoor function space, including several beachfront locations and a Grand Lawn. In its dedicated and flexible event wing, the resort offers the soaring 5,221-square-foot Crystal Ballroom and a junior ballroom. On the fifth floor, The Rooftop provides stunning views of the beach and the state park’s foliage. While its origins began as a small fishing village, Destin has grown into a dynamic destination and is one of the Gulf Coast’s most sought-after locations served by three airports. In addition to world-class fishing, it offers uncrowded beaches, spectacular open-air shopping, fresh local seafood restaurants and championship golf courses. The area has also attracted celebrities, including Jerry Jones, Blake Shelton, Emeril Lagasse and many others who have purchased homes in the region.

Drawing on the inspirational venue with treatments that incorporate the natural surroundings, The Henderson’s Spa features eleven spacious treatment rooms and numerous amenities, including a ladies’ steam room, sauna and whirlpool which overlooks the treetops of the secluded park. Treatments are derived from the Gulf’s crystal waters, untouched dunes and indigenous plants. In addition, there are also specially constructed spa guest rooms, furnished and equipped with sounds and smells of the region and a variety of spa amenities.

and make a difference…impacting lives positively. My business has given me great opportunities to do so! What organizations are you involved with?

My favorite place in Williamson County is our home and neighborhood, Lynnwood Downs. Every single day I drive into the neighborhood, I feel grateful to live here…horses in the pasture and big trees, peaceful and beautiful… but close to every possible restaurant and store. My husband, Tom, and I have traveled the world, and we believe Williamson County is the most fantastic place to live! We are proud to call it our home.

What is your business, and how did you get into it?

I moved to Williamson County in 1996 to build the first bakery to serve McDonald’s buns, Tennessee Bun Company (now known as Crown Bakeries). My three sons were in elementary and junior high. The town we moved from was Effingham, Illinois, with fewer than 10,000 people. Before that, we lived in Russellville, Arkansas with a population of 12,000 people… small towns…where you knew everyone. Moving to Franklin gave us the comfort of the small town feel we were used to. We love seeing neighbors at the grocery and the very friendly restaurant servers. We felt and continue to feel, very welcome by the genuine SOUTHERN hospitality found here!

My business is a bakery business. In Illinois, I owned and operated McDonald’s Restaurants. As a franchise, I was invited to the “Bun Committee,” where we audited our bun supplier, Fresh Start Bakery in Kansas City. I loved learning about sesame seeds in Guatemala and flour prices in Russia and wanted to know all I could about that business. When I learned McDonald’s needed additional capacity, I knew it was for me! So, in 1996, I built a bakery that makes 1,000 buns a minute in Dickson, Tennessee, starting with thirty-two employees. Today, we operate nine facilities and have over 1,700 associates.

Finding the right mortgage lender early on can be tremendously helpful as you grow older. Additionally, developing that relationship, where you know you will be taken care of and are confident they have your best interests at heart, will be very beneficial later in life.

Experience

Experience is possibly the most important quality you, as a home-buyer, should look for in your mortgage lender. Not just lending experience, but experience serving people just like you in the market in which you are purchasing. This can go a very long way in getting you a loan you are comfortable with.

If you want to develop that important relationship or are considering making another purchase, call our mortgage team today at 615.289.7634 or visit Lineagebank.com/mortgages. Even if you are not quite ready, we can discuss your options for when you get to that point.

Competitive Rates

Finding a home you love—in a community you love—is essential to your family’s future. No matter what stage you are at in life, it is far more than just a home. It is where you feel safe, protected and comfortable, which is exactly how you should feel when working with a mortgage lender.

So, here is what to look for in YOUR mortgage lender:

Follow These Tips When Searching for a Mortgage Lender WITH LINEAGE BANK BUSINESS We’re in the Money

A lender that offers a diverse suite of mortgage products and programs is also a big plus. There is no one size fits all with mortgages. Every family’s size, preference, finances and situation are different, directly highlighting the importance of a diverse suite of mortgage products. This can help you not only find a loan that meets your needs and works within your budget, but it can also get you pre-qualified quicker, making you a more attractive buyer.

Diverse Products

Of course, competitive rates are also vital because they determine how much you will pay over the loan’s term. Therefore, you will want the absolute best rate for your situation. That begins with finding lenders who can offer them.

THE HARPETH HOTEL 98 | SEPTEMBER 2022

BY AMELIA ROSE SMITH Muscle Shoals to Main Street is an event our ‘little’ town of historic Franklin has been craving! Legendary and award-winning songwriters and performers will be traveling from Muscle Shoals to Main Street in historic Franklin for a night of music and storytelling. The songwriters lineup for this event includes Gary Baker, Lenny LeBlanc and Phillip White. This songwriters night was a true result of “great minds think alike.” When our Southern Gentleman, Johnny Birdsong, took a trip to Muscle Shoals with Nashville’s Big Back Yard, he met Rob Carnegie, the President and CEO of the Florence-Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau, Visit the Shoals. Rob shared his desire to bring Muscle Shoals music to Franklin, and as an avid Pilgrimage Music and Cultural Festival attendee, he felt a night leading up to the festival would be perfect. Funny enough, The Harpeth Hotel had reached out with a similar concept; thus, the idea of “Muscle Shoals to Main Street” was born with the hope of making this an annual Garyevent!Baker is an American country music singer and songwriter in Sheffield, Alabama. Gary began his career as a musician with the LeBlanc and Carr Band as well as The Shooters. While playing in Marie Osmond’s band, Gary met his songwriting partner, Frank J. Meyers. Together, they wrote the song I Swear, recorded by All 4-One and John Michael Montgomery, which sold more than twenty million copies internationally and won the 1995 Grammy for “Best Country Song.” Gary has written songs for John Michael Montgomery, Backstreet Boys, Alabama, Lonestar and others. International songwriter and Christian artist, Lenny LeBlanc, is known for his BMI Billionaire song, Falling. Lenny is a self-taught musician and was an integral part of the phenomenon known as Muscle Shoals Music. Lenny’s name appears on dozens of church songs, including the Dove award-winning Above All recorded by Michael W. Smith, Rebecca Saint James, Randy Travis and Richie McDonald of Lonestar and the classic There Is None Like You. He lives in Florence, Alabama, and continues to write hits like Treat Her Right by Sawyer Brown and You First with eight-time Country Music Award, “Musician of the Year,” Mac McAnally.

Phillip White is an Alabama native who has written songs for the industry’s most prominent names: Vince Gill, Scott McCreery, Reba, Rascal Flatts, George Strait, and Luke Bryan, to name a few. Among these include the 2003 Academy of Country Music Song of the Year I’m Movin’ On, the theme song for Reba’s self-titled hit television show I’m A Survivor and Blake Shelton’s Nobody But Me. Phillip has been published by some of music row’s most respected publishers, including Murrah Music, Disney, Universal and Sea Gayle Music. Most recently, Phillip signed with Frank Rogers’ new company, Fluid Music Revolution and Spirit Music Nashville.

Attendees can expect a relaxed, intimate evening that feels like you stepped into a recording lounge in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. All guests can enjoy a cash bar and an event menu to order from; VIP guests will receive a complimentary glass of wine or Champagne. General admission is $100, and VIP seating, which includes a meet and greet, is $150. For more information or purchase tickets, scan the QR code.

FEATURE Arts & Culture MIA MORRIS THE STUDENT BEHIND THE “AMERICA’S GOT TALENT” ONE-WOMAN BAND 100 | SEPTEMBER 2022

Mia plans to continue writing, recording and releasing new originals she makes in her basement studio. She says, “Creating new music is not only the most important thing I can do as a musician but also the most fun.”

One thing led to the next, and this past spring, Mia auditioned for the seventeenth season of America’s Got Talent as a one-woman band, playing her original song, Gone My Way. The song celebrates individualism and joy and features a mechanism called looping. The looping method allows her to enhance and layer different instruments and vocals during live performances.

Mia is scheduled to tour the United Kingdom on drums for Beth Nielsen Chapman this October and November. To follow along her journey, find her on Instagram at @miamorrismusic and listen to Mia’s original songs on Spotify and YouTube.

YOURWILLIAMSON.COM | 101

Mia openly says, “I have no desire to be famous. However, I love that I have been making music in my spare time outside of school for years, and I hope that never stops. Playing music is its own reward, and I especially love writing, recording and performing. I strive to earn a reputation of being prepared and professional every time people hire me as a musician. I strive to have a blast every time I play as an artist.

Though music has become a career for her, Mia is a humble high schooler just beginning her senior year. Although, instead of attending Brentwood High School this year, she is doing school online due to the AGT contest being in Pasadena, California. Mia says, “The balance part is something I don’t always get right, but I make a conscious effort to work at it. In general, I keep my high school life, friends and activities mostly separate from my gigs and music life.”

Mia admits, “AGT was a bit of a last-minute idea after I began playing more and more as a one-woman band. Since I was fourteen years old, I had been playing a show called Song Suffragettes at the Listening Room in downtown Nashville every Monday night.” The show is an all-female writer round where Mia accompanies five artists weekly on a cajón (a box-shaped percussion instrument). Mia explains, “When it was time for my song, I did not want the percussion to stop, so I began experimenting with various ways to play more than one instrument at a time. Eventually, I started making loops and creating different arrangements for the songs I would release. I ended up with an entire set that combined many instruments and a few ways to play drums.”

BY AMELIA ROSE SMITH Mia Morris is a seventeen-year-old girl who is a student by day and musician by night. Though her name may be recognizable from her recent audition on America’s Got Talent (AGT), Mia has played with over 100 artists in one year alone, many of whom have had #1 hits. Mia’s “bubble grunge” style, influenced by 90s rock, scored her four “Yes’s” from the AGT judges, sending her to the next round of competition! “Music was a part of every day in our house growing up. We always had it on, and we often talked about what style of music was the best fit for whatever we were doing at the time,” says Mia. “My dad loved music and playing instruments, but he always insisted that it was for our own satisfaction and never to try making a living as a musician.” Well, things changed after a neighbor gave her an old drum set. From there, she was hooked. “Around the age of ten, I started learning how to play every rock song that I thought had a cool drum part and I posted videos of me playing on YouTube.” Then, by the time Mia was twelve, she was posting versions of songs where she would play every instrument in the song. In 2017, Mia’s family decided to move to Williamson County, exposing her to a new world of musical opportunities with Nashville just down the street. Shortly after moving to Brentwood, she worked weekly playing gigs and was hired as a side musician on various instruments. At fifteen, Mia became serious about writing and began composing several songs weekly by herself and with co-writers. Then, at sixteen, she started doing studio work and touring with independent and label bands and began releasing many of her own music as an individual artist.

Mia’s AGT tryout was one version of looping, impressing the judges, audience and her fans in Williamson County!

If that gets me some recognition, that is amazing, especially if it gets me opportunities to do more of it.”

TPAC, located in downtown Nashville, administers one of the largest and most comprehensive arts education programs in the United States, serving students from pre-school to high school, educators and adults.

But, when her predecessor, Kathleen O’Brien, announced her retirement, Jennifer saw a fantastic opportunity to broaden her career in the growing city of Nashville! Before coming to TPAC, Jennifer served as the Executive Vice President and Managing Director for Segerstrom Center for the Arts, located in Southern California. In addition, Jennifer has held roles at Harper College, Shakespeare Theatre Company, Michigan Opera Theatre and was the Chief Operating Office for Auditorium Theater, the National Historic Landmark in Chicago. Jennifer credits her success in these impressive roles to her undergraduate studies at Michigan State University and a Master of Public Administration/Nonprofit Management from Roosevelt University. But her true passion and success are rooted in her love for performing and cultural arts. After three years on the team – and a pandemic in the middle – Jennifer is proud to present a remarkable 2022–2023 season that reaches beyond Broadway shows. The team at TPAC has worked to curate a package that appeals to a broad demographic, presenting a new theater series including dance, family shows and TPAC’s Inaugural Theater series, Perspectives.
