Save some of the cash you'd spend on those Lady Gaga tickets and head out to one of Franklin's free concerts (or maybe do both--hey it's a long summer)! Carnton Summer Concert series is back for the second time this summer. As usual it brings live & local music,  outdoor summer... [Read more...]

We love our pets here at South Wind! And what is more fun than spoiling our furry friends? Sometimes we’re guilty of giving our dogs scraps of food from our own plates, but this isn’t necessarily always the best idea for our four-legged friends because human food may not be very healthy for them. However, you may not like buying dog treats for your pup because... [Read more...]

Hey South Wind! Are you the type that asks for the restaurant's score when you walk in the door? I have a couple friends like that. Even though it may fluster the wait staff at times, I think it's a very valid and important question. You need to know the quality of food that you're eating, right? Well, here's a slide show of the recent scores of some of your... [Read more...]

Ok South Wind. Those that know me, know that I am a HUGE kid at heart. That being said, one of my childhood favs has never been able to clear out of my system: The Muppets. I still laugh uproariously whenever I see them dance across my television or computer screen. What warmed my heart was to know that they were still around today and making videos! One video... [Read more...]

I've never seen an American Bald Eagle in person. I wish I had, though. I've heard that they're a bird like no other; majestic and beautiful in their transgressions. Little Ethan Bezuidenhout of Franklin saw one, but no one believed him at first. (It's hard being a kid sometimes, isn't it?) Then his family saw the bird — and another — diving into the neighborhood's... [Read more...]
