I’ve eaten lunch at Kooky Canuck a couple of times recently and they’ve had an awesome ’80s mix going – Tears for Fears, Duran Duran, Morrissey, to name a few. Check Kooky out if that’s your jam.

Recently I lamented a lack of Wi-Fi in Court Square. BankTennessee has come to the rescue. Look for their network in the list of available ones. There’s no password. And you’re not mooching; they want you to use it, so says a sign on the door. The signal is strongest near the intersection of Second and Court.
