Don’t stop at calling Met’s pitcher R.A. Dickey a mountain man just because of his long hair and trimmed beard. He actually is a mountain man. Known now for his knuckleball, the pitcher that called Brentwood home for most of his life was the featured speaker at the annual Leadoff Luncheon sponsored by Jeff Forehand and the Lipscomb Bison baseball team. Listen below for Dickey’s conversation with the team and several supporters. Dickey highlights his experiences as a major leaguer, his knuckleball, his home in Nashville and why he was in the headlines this offseason. Photo taken from R.A. Dickey’s twitter feed. Follow him...

Lipscomb will soon break ground on a new satellite campus in Cool Springs. The 5,000 sq. foot building will be used for graduate programs as well as working with community of Brentwood and Franklin. Provost Craig Bledsoe submitted a letter to faculty, and it can be read in full below. As you know, providing new and creative ways for students to access a Lipscomb education has been a hallmark of our academic vision. While our graduate programs continue to grow in number and quality, we are now focusing on taking these programs to strategic markets where we can enhance our student population and offer access to Lipscomb’s mission and purpose without having to be physically located on our Nashville campus. Last year, the College of Education began offering graduate education classes at Blackman High School in Murfreesboro and at Battle Ground Academy in Franklin and has tripled enrollment in those cohorts in just two years. As we strategically continue to move forward with this initiative, I want to keep you informed along the way. Recently, we finalized a lease on nearly 5,000 square feet of space in Cool Springs to host Lipscomb’s first university-operated satellite facility. Our research has found that the demographics of Williamson County make it one of the best counties in the country to offer graduate education. Williamson County leaders are excited about Lipscomb University being a part of their community and partnering with us as we seek to serve its residents just as we have the Nashville community. This satellite campus will be located in the Thoroughbred Village III Professional Plaza at the corner of...

My quest for the best sushi in the Nashville area actually was born after a visit to a small spot in the Kroger shopping center on Franklin Road in Brentwood. It was there that I became a sushi devotee instead of one who refused to indulge. Peter’s Sushi, among the various restaurants that greet you when you go beyond the Chick-Fil-A, serves high-quality sushi. For many years, I refused to eat sushi. I simply didn’t like it, until I let my guard down at Peter’s. I have been a customer ever since. Peter’s is open Monday-Saturday 11 a.m. -2:30 p.m. and then reopens from 5-10 p.m. The restaurant feels tight when it is busy, but the size of the crowd never affects the quality of service. Don’t be surprised if you see a celebrity dining with you. Many celebrities favor Peter’s, and head shots and autographs of various actors, musicians and other famous people cover the walls as evidence of their being there. The last time I visited Peter’s, I saw country music group Little Big Town. Peter’s makes the most common rolls, and their specialty rolls offer a variety of seafood and sauces. The California roll contains only crab so it is a safe choice if you don’t want to be adventurous. The basic composition of avocado and crab meat has a very distinct, but mild taste. The price for basic rolls vary yet are reasonable. To accompany your sushi, the regular wasabi and soy sauce are good, but I typically use spicy mayo. Also, Peter’s serves the best eel sauce, and I recommend that you try a roll or two in that sauce. Considering...
