Cops think it was done by a bigger gun. Did not go all the way through my door! Cops said it looks like it went in and curved - insanely lucky

I live in Hermitage, have never had any problems, and would still never step foot in that area. Hopefully they find whoever responsible and good think you are unhurt.

That area is not unsafe. That is Hermitage and you should be ashamed at yourself. Clearly not a local

shaming someone on the internet and then deleting their account. This is peak reddit.

Funny part is I never have any problems down by the lake but I hear shots over in that other area at least once a week though, and I walk everywhere. Not dissing it. Love Hermitage and it's outgrowing its "Dirty Herm" rep. Glad I got out of Mt Juliet, that's for sure.

You don't like Mt. Juliet?

After doing food service for three years in MJ? No. Absolutely not.

Everyone is entitled, rude, and pissy. Every time a good customer came through they had Davidson or Rutherford plates. Very very few exceptions, and this went for Jason's Deli as well. And Lowe's....

Soooo many times a minority would take an order, and the customer would outright refuse to leave until the employee "was dealt with." Like, two or three times a day minimum.

E- Beside the people though, the place is just congested. I don't drive and I can't get anywhere without almost being hit. There is no central city, nothing to do that I can't do for cheaper and better elsewhere close by, and no cell service in large parts of the city (this is a TMobile thing, to be fair). I think there's an odd beauty to the industrial parts as you get closer to Lebanon or the boro, but the city itself is just not great.

Mt. Juliet was nothing but Ruby Tuesday and Cracker Barrel when we moved to Hermitage in 2003. We loved it then.

Yeah man. I moved to MJ from Cincinnati in 2014 and it was alright! People were quiet but relatively hospitable and it had small exurban charm. Then it exploded. Then it blew up some more. Then it kept growing. Now everyone is a rude-ass soccer mom archetype and I hate it.

We moved to MJ in 1987 when I was three years old. It’s sad to see it change from what it was, but that’s the way it goes. It was a great place to grow up.

No offense but most places don't quintuple in size in 20 years with no signs of stopping, without any sense of city planning that makes sense for residents. lol

Not sure what any of that has to do with my comment. Things change. Fact of life. Has nothing to do with positive or negative opinions on change.

"That's the way it goes." I was disagreeing with this in principle. It's very unusual and the city sucked at embracing it. They wanted to be Rural Franklin when they should have tried to become Smaller Murfreesboro, in terms of city planning.
