Williamson County: Spring Hill's GM Plant rolled out the first Cadillac Lyriq all-electric vehicle off the assembly line today. This is part of the $2 billion investment GM has made in transitioning this plant to all-electric cars, as well as another $2.3 billion for a separate battery plant nearby.

“Lyriq”

Good grief

[Luvemtall]

The whole world needs to stop coming up with these weird names and spelling common names every way but right. There’s nothing wrong with simply calling things as they are “Cadillac Electric “ would work just fine.

This is my annual whisky check in post. Any news on the Sazerac distillery that was supposed to open in Murfreesboro?  They bought the land back in 2018 and were supposed to open in 2020. I've heard basically nothing since then and assume that is due to Covid but who knows. An older DNJ article is included here for reference.

Can’t wait until M’boro gets its Hy-Vee.  The first one in TN is coming to Spring Hill.

If you’ve never been to a Hy-Vee…I’m telling you now…you’ll love it.  When I was staying with a friend in Omaha for 2 weeks, the first night, she took me to Hy-Vee for dinner.  I’m thinking we’re going to pick up something to cook at home…but inside of the store is this huge cafeteria with fresh roast beef, chicken, steaks, casseroles, etc.  Because I had a full day every day I was there, I got where I would just drop by there on the way home…pick up a different plate of food…and never ate the same thing twice during my 2 weeks there.

I’ve been waiting for this store to get here.

I hear ya Titanhog!!  I grew up in Omaha and sw Iowa and HyVee was our store! I have fond memories of my parents and Grams buying Hy Vee pan burger partner (their take on Hamburger helper) and other HyVee brands as a kid bc they didn’t  have much money. Of course they have all the higher end brands too. Hy Vee has  been huge in IA/NE/MO/SD for decades.  I remember taking my Dad out to eat in our small Iowa farm town when Mom was sick, and he wanted to eat at HyVee bc it was so good.  In Omaha (the big city) they had much larger stores - working as a Super Value grocery bagger/stocker while at a juco in Creston, IA and later putting myself through Univ of Nebr Omaha as front end mgr at Bakers (now Kroger) this is great news!!  I was wondering where in this big Nashville metropolis those  first 2 stores would go - wouldn’t ya know, the first is going to be in June Lake just abt 7 miles north of our home?! Granted in Omaha we didn’t think of HyVee as upscale even though Fox 17 just billed it that way. It is not a Whole Foods, but customer service was and hopefully  is still king at Hy Vee.  Crazy getting psyched over a grocery store coming to Nashville?  Yes esp since my parents and other relatives I grew up with took me there all the time.  A retirement job waiting for me in abt 4 yrs when I leave corporate life - Y E S!!!! 

Like the old song played on the radio, “Shop HyVee - Where there’s a helpful smile, in every aisle” 

[Luvemtall]

Sounds like these are pretty cool stores. If memory serves me correct, they are planning 5-6 stores in the area along with a distribution center? Should be interesting to see the location of future builds.

Seems as though the ball is in Lebanon’s hands and they keep scoring! There has been quite a few  announcements in the past couple weeks, both commercial and residential. And if the rumors that the Theme Park is to be built here are true, then this city is about to start a new chapter in it identity.

[Luvemtall]

Just found this article on Fox17 about this park in Hendersonville! What gives, there is now a cloud of confusion as to what is happening. Why would the top guy of Wilson County development say on Monday that he believes it’s happening in Lebanon, then this story about it  on Fox17 happening in Hendersonville? 

[smeagolsfree]

Closer to Nashville, but access is a bit more complicated with Vietnam Veterans because of the potential backups on the road due to the limited lanes. I have never been a fan of that area. I can't put my finger on it. It just seems a lot further out mentally.

[Luvemtall]

Her tweet actually doesn’t say anything about it going in Hendersonville, just that they were there as a information session. But the way Fox17 is presenting it, makes it sound like that’s its location. Maybe I’m just reading it wrong, not sure. I was just searching around the news outlets for more info , because the NBJ seams to be the only one reporting that its potential location was Lebanon and I’m wondering why such a big development news wasn’t anywhere else. Then I stumbled across this article on Fox17 at the bottom of the page. 

[MLBrumby]

Sounds like they're doing a "road show" to build support/awareness of their plan.
