Movin' On Up
The Galloways have relocated to Nashville, TN, from Springdale, AR. Okay, to be completely honest...they moved to Brentwood, a suburb of Nashville. And they really moved from Nob Hill, AR which is pretty close to Springdale. I just said Springdale because Springdale's on the atlas. Nob Hill ain't. Anyway, let me be among the first to welcome them as fellow Tennesseans.
