That’s why we’re sharing the love story of a couple from Portland. They’ve been married a while. How long? “73,” said Winifred Hastings.

THOMPSON'S STATION, Tenn. (WTVF) — You might call one nine-year-old from Thompson's Station a human search engine when it comes to the Nashville Predators. Owen Chase knows a lot, thanks to his collection of hockey cards. Imagine how it would feel for this hockey historian if these cards were ever misplaced in a crowd of nearly 20,000 people? Well, that was Owen's reality. He brought this card collection to a Predators game in late December.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — When practically all of Nashville was frozen last January, Niko and Becca Bendaj hoped their business would be successful. Less than a year later, with lines on weekends stretching around corners and into back hallways of their building on Robertson Avenue, they announced the second location of Benji's Bagel and Coffee House.

SPRING HILL, Tenn. (WTVF) — One of our favorite stories from last year was about a little six-year-old working the register at her parents' butcher shop in Spring Hill. This story was not only a big hit with you all, but our newsroom loved it too! I've stayed in touch with Abigail's family. They sent photos when she finally lost a tooth that had been bugging her during our first trip. Now, it appears she's been promoted (sort of) at Light Hill Meats and I had to go see it for myself.
