Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah? If you’ve had this debate, there’s a good chance you or someone in your circle tuned in for the final season of “The Summer I Turned Pretty.” And now, you just might fall for this adoptable trio named after the show’s leads:
Jeremiah – A blue-eyed “slightly shy, but spunky young guy” who loves toys and brotherly hangouts
Belly – A brave and curious kitten with an independent spirit
Conrad – A soft-hearted sidekick with a playful streak
The 6-month-old kittens are up for adoption through Crossroads Campus. Get to know them and other adoptable pets.

She’s set to work the final three games in the Marlins-Braves series, beginning with Saturday’s doubleheader.
Stat
1.26%. That’s the percentage of income Nashvillians should expect to spend on clothing, based on a study by WalletHub. This outfits Music City at No. 72 on the site’s list of cities where people spend the most to get dressed (when comparing the 100 largest US cities).
Feel Good
A long-lost track sparked a six-year internet hunt — and it led straight to Nashville. Sleuths traced the mystery song to Nashvillian Alex Caress, who uploaded it to MySpace at age 18. Now, he’s released “I Am Always Here,” an album of rediscovered tracks from two decades ago. (WPLN)
