Hillsboro Village is about to go bananas. That’s because Nigel’s Bananas is opening sometime this spring across from Hopdoddy Burger Bar. The biz, which also has locations in Florida, serves chocolate-dipped frozen bananas, ice cream bars, cheesecake, and key lime pie — all customizable with toppings.
Mansion Monday
This Williamson County retreat features a 28-ft-tall great room anchored by 150-year-old timber beams, which opens to terraces and a swim spa overlooking the woods. The property’s second home is even cozier, with a full kitchen, main floor suite, and fireplace.

March is Women’s History Month, a dedicated time to celebrate the achievements of women throughout US history. Here in Music City, Church Street Park is honoring the occasion with special events every Sunday.
Pets
Have you spotted a parade of golden retrievers recently? The 12 South Golden Hour is a monthly golden retriever meetup that strolls through the neighborhood. The next walk is set for Saturday, March 14 in front of Bongo Java’s Belmont Boulevard location — and yes, the group has an Instagram account. (WTVF)

Fun Fact
Paleontologists discovered a new species of Spinosaurus in the Sahara desert. They believe the dinosaur lived roughly 95 million years ago + weighed up to seven tons.
