Clarksville’s Old Chicago Pizza and Pasta — Supreme!
Clarksville, TN – Lunch at Old Chicago Pasta and Pizza at 2815 Wilma Rudolph Boulevard in Clarksville has a menu that should give everyone a favorite selection. Our waiter, Wesley, gave perfect service even as we chose the fantastic buffet that featured several thick crust pizzas, thin crust pizzas plus bread sticks and sauces.
My lemonade was just right as was my lunch partner’s iced tea. Other drink choices included refreshers like red berry sparkle, ginger-pomegranate sparkler, energy drinks, root beer, sodas, juices and a full range of beers, ales, lagers, cocktails and wines.
Buffet at Old Chicago Pizza is just out of this world.

Clarksville, TN – The Federal Open Market Committee left short-term interest rates unchanged, as expected.
In its policy statement, the FOMC noted that “the pace of improvement in the labor market has slowed while growth in economic activity appears to have picked up.” At the same time, “growth in household spending has strengthened” and “the drag from net exports appears to have lessened.”
The dots in the dot plot drifted a bit lower (that is, expectations of future rate increases become even more gradual).

Frazier Allen: Multigenerational Memory-Making
Clarksville, TN – With the help of multigenerational vacations, two or three generations of a family – perhaps those spread across the country in today’s mobile society – have a chance to develop special bonds as they share traveling experiences.
A 2014 poll by the American Automobile Association found that 36% of American families planned holiday trips involving at least three generations in 2015, up 4% from the previous year. Also, a network of high-end travel agencies last year named mutigenerational travel the industry’s leading trend for the fourth year running.
The idea of spending vacation time bonding across layers of one’s multigenerational family may not appeal to everyone, but a growing number of families have made the concept increasingly popular.

Clarksville, TN – The economic data reports were mixed, but mostly on the soft side of expectations. The ISM Manufacturing Index surprised (modestly) to the upside, boosted by a lengthening in supplier delivery times (anecdotally, many firms had trimmed inventories in anticipation of softer demand, but sales surprised and they are now scrambling a bit to restock).
The Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index slid. Unit auto sales were strong, but were supported by an increase in fleet sales (rental cars, etc.). The ADP estimate of private-sector payrolls was moderate strong, with continued hiring at small and medium-sized firms.

Frazier Allen: Will Retirement Require a Passport?
Clarksville, TN – Retirement means different things to different people. Some envision their next chapter taking place abroad. Some want to stay at home for as long as possible. Others worry they may not have saved enough, so retiring elsewhere represents a way to stretch their dollars in areas with lower costs of living, as well as a way to experience other cultures.
Still others may see a retirement move as a new adventure. Whatever the reason, there are many things to consider when deciding whether to unwind in another country or right here in the States.
