1. The 4040 Presents event will be on Monday, Dec. 5, at Franklin Christian Church on Clovercroft Road at 6:30 p.m. This month's event will feature upcoming artists in the first round and a headliner songwriter in the second round. The monthly songwriters series is meant to highlight up-and-coming songwriters. (Williamson Source)
2. The Williamson County Sheriff's Office reports that the two sets of human remains found earlier this week likely belong to the same person. The county medical examiner's investigation is being assisted by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and Middle Tennessee State University's Forensic Anthropology Search & Recovery Team. Identifying human remains is a very scientific process that requires a lot of time to complete correctly. (News Channel 5)
3. The new Franklin Southall has opened its doors. The working farm is dedicated to education and exploration. The 325-acre property features 62 guest rooms, 16 stand-alone cottages, and a spa.
