Police Hope More Visibility Will Increase Crime Tips
Channel 5 News
NASHVILLE, Tenn.- Often times, police rely on witnesses to help them solve crimes. That's why Nashville's CrimeStoppers is taking extra steps to advertise 74-CRIME, the number to call with a tip.
When crime scene investigators are working, witnesses will notice something new on their vehicles: the phone number to Crime Stoppers. The hope is the signs will generate more calls to the tip line.

Nashville Receives Federal Funds For Neighborhood Clean-Up
Channel 5 News
NASHVILLE, Tenn.- Nashville is getting $4-million from the federal government. It's all to help clean up and re-sell foreclosed homes.
Metro has about 3,000 houses in foreclosure. Some of them are neighborhood eyesores. The Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency says their plan is to secure those properties and resell them to stabilize the neighborhoods. That money though, isn't coming until next year.

Clean out those closets, donate books
Hickory Hollow Towers residents seek mysteries, romance, inspiring works for libraryBy SUZANNE NORMAND BLACKWOOD • sblackwood@tennessean.com • 259-8268
Read a good book lately? The residents at Hickory Hollow Towers want something new to read, maybe a page-turner or a romance or a large print version of the Harry Potter books.
The seniors at the retirement community off Mt. View Road, have had a library since 1980, but they've pretty much read all the books and are hoping for donations.
Resident Pat Carl says the library is a popular place within the facility, even though it also has a hobby room, a piano and an exercise room.
The library received a $2,000 state grant last year with the help of state Rep. Sherry Jones.
"As far as I know, that's the only money we've ever received," Carl said.
With that money, the residents, who operate the library themselves, were able to purchase many books. Also, said Carl, the residential facility's Activity Club purchased bookshelves, and many residents have donated books throughout the years.
"We get a few outside donations," she said.
But it has gotten to the point that donations have slowed down, and the library has used all of its grant money. Residents have read most of the books in the library, Carl said.
Carl said the library is in need of large print books, books on tape, romance and mystery novels and inspirational books. She said it particularly needs newer releases.
Hickory Hollow Towers, located off Mt. View Road near the former Texana Grill, is funded by Section 8. Residents there are low to middle income.
Most residents also receive some other form of government assistance, Carl said.
"To go buy a $5 book doesn't sound like much," Carl said. But, she added, "Most people don't have the funds."
Resident Doris Walker, who assists Carl with library duties, said that would "buy a loaf of bread and a gallon of milk," which is likely to be a more pressing concern for most residents.
Frances Ross, whose late husband Houston Ross helped develop Hickory Hollow Mall, is a regular library patron.
Ross, 94, said Carl has been "a real asset" to the library, and she knows how hard Carl has worked to keep the library's collection exciting and up-to-date.
"We hope it continues to get good books and grow," she said.

Just an FYI Car Windows
Just wanted to let everyone know that they are having a problem at the apartments in Nashboro Village with someone breaking car windows. Not sure if whoever is doing this is looking for items in the cars or just breaking windows.
Thanks,
Mindy
