It’s no surprise to me that Barrett Realty has not changed…in 30 years! I had a bad experience with this company that long ago, and had hoped they would be out of business by now. Mr. Barrett certainly owes it to his community and his church to clean up his act, or find some other line of work! Thank you for continuing to report his shady business practices!

Comment on Sex Offender House by Jayinnashville

This is a prime example of why parents need to educate their children how to not become victims and to talk to them if they do get victimized. I don’t know the specific convictions of the men that live there but perhaps we need state laws to increase prison sentences for those who molest children. A few years should be replaced with a few decades. Is there a staff member living at this halfway house?

I live on the same street as Mr. Green . I have 3 young children that I do not allow to play in there own yard because of these men . We as a neighborhood were never asked or told that they could have a halfway in our community.

They(the offenders) are currently renovating a house near my home . I can only hope it isn’t going to be for this use . If it is I will have to leave the neighborhood that I grew up in and relocate to a safer neighborhood.

I would just like to say that i miss the days when the media didn’t
sensationalize every tiny thing while ignoring whats going on in the
government. Do you ever think about comparing your journalistic skills
against a journalist from maybe the Watergate scandal, or maybe even
Vietnam. Oh and i think it is perfectly fine to bring a kid in there, but thanks to
the media the dad will probably lose his job and the kid will get f***ed.
How does that make you feel?

the child giving out takeoff clearence was just repeating what he was told.
that kind of lingo is used commonly and makes the job more enjoyable. the
“child” was on the right frequency and the pilot was expecting what he was
told. however there IS a problem with aircraft comms. wanna know what it is?

Hey Andy,
I really think the only thing messed up about this story is making too much
of it! I’m sure the Dad was right there!

Children and other untrained people don’t belong in Control Towers no less giving instructions to airplanes. Lives are at stake. This controller bought his kids to work two nights in a row. His supervisor allowed it against FAA regulations. Both men have shown a lack of maturity. Both need to be terminated. Lives are at stake not french fries. Lives.

Why is the Tennessean(Gannett), Yellow Pages, Yellow book and other
corporation allowed to be be the biggest Litter Bugs in Nashville. I live
on lickton Pike and travel all over the city. These company distribute the
products, throwing papers, books and other advertising material out along
the street. I typical have 5 or 6 Tennessean Nashville North paper tossed
in my driveway every week. I have asked them to stop the delivery but they
will not. The street is littered with yellow pages and books that never get
picked up. We get lots of littering anyway because we are close to the race
trak and in the country but should not have to put up with it from
corporate America. If I litered like this you can bet they be afterme to
pick it up or be fined.
Thsi is messed up and making a mess.
