Clarksville’s Tilted Kilt delivers Delicious Food and Great Service
Clarksville, TN – Granted, most guys do not travel to the Tilted Kilt at 2790B Wilma Rudolph Boulevard in Clarksville initially for the food. If you’ve seen the pictures of the wait staff there, you can’t help but notice that the waitress uniforms are explicitly sexy.
Jessica, our waitress, was a poster girl for Tilted Kilt with terrific service and all the other attributes that make Tilted Kilt a destination you don’t want to miss.
The amazing thing is that once you order anything on the menu, you find out that the food is extremely good.

Clarksville Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen for the week of July 10th, 2016
Clarksville, TN – The economic data were mostly on the strong side of expectations. Nonfarm payrolls surprised sharply to the upside in June (+287,000), but that followed a very soft payroll figure for May (revised to +11,000).
The disappointing May number is now seen as an anomaly, but then so was the June figure. Large month-to-month swings in payrolls are unusual, but they do happen occasionally.
The three-month average payroll gain was +147,000, slower than in 1Q16 (+196,000) and 2015 (+221,000).

Clarksville Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen for the week of July 6th, 2016
Clarksville, TN – Despite there being no plan for Brexit and expectations of a lengthy and uncertain process of disentanglement from the European Union, stock market fear subsided.
The impact on the U.S. economy of a weaker U.K. is expected to be small, and in some ways may even be positive (lower mortgage rates and greater capital flows to the U.S.). Long-term interest rates remain low.
Bank of England Governor Carney helped things along by suggesting that a rate cut would likely be warranted this summer (the BoE’s Monetary Policy Committee will meet on July 14th).

Clarksville Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen for the week of July 3rd, 2016
Clarksville, TN – U.S. financial markets spent most of the week pricing in a greater likelihood that the United Kingdom would vote to remain in the European Union.
Oops. The surprise “leave” victory in the U.K. referendum sent markets reeling. Global stock markets fell sharply. The pound plunged (to a 30-year low). Bond yields sank, reflecting a flight to safety.
Still, this wasn’t a Lehman-type event. Market participants were simply caught leaning the wrong way. Prime Minister Cameron resigned, effective October, leaving his predecessor a lengthy negotiation with the EU on exit terms.
