Homeowner alarmed after noticing dangerous issues caused by neighbor's recent project: 'There's no way this is legal, right?'
Disputes with neighbors are, unfortunately, common, but what do you do when a neighbor's actions endanger other people? That's the advice one Redditor asked for after sharing their concerns about a neighbor's home improvement project. The original poster explained that the neighbors had built a new back alley driveway. The driveway linked the house, which was at the top of the hill, with a road at the bottom, joining the road at the corner of a sharp turn. They raised a number of concerns with the new driveway, including that the gravel from the driveway was spilling into the street, it blocks water flow, and that numerous cars were swerving to avoid colliding with other vehicles. They also shared that another neighbor's mailbox had been knocked down because of the location of the driveway opening. "There's no way this is legal right? Is there anyone I can notify? I am worried about a car overcorrecting into my house," the OP wrote. Several commenters urged the OP to contact the local authorities. "Call code enforcement and/or contact your city council person," one commenter advised. Another said, "I think the best place to start may be [Tennessee Department of Transportation.] Speak to someone and explain the situation; that it's becoming a hazard to the main road and ask what if anything can be done and who needs to be contacted." Neighbors across the country have been reported for causing problems, especially those looking to make money-saving, climate-friendly upgrades to their homes. Homeowners who rewild their yards with native plants or install solar panels are often the target of HOA action. Maintaining a friendly relationship with neighbors and your HOA can make it easier to talk about issues that arise and find amicable solutions. However, sometimes, such as in this case, you may need to seek further help. Neighbors who make wide-impacting decisions need to make sure that they adhere to all local rules and regulations to keep people safe and prevent damage to property. Contacting local authorities can help ensure they are aware of their actions and that any concerns are recorded. How much money do you plan to spend on home improvement projects this year?

What Nashville school got name change for civil rights champion Richard H. Dinkins and why
Late Judge Richard H. Dinkins had a pronounced stutter growing up, something he overcame personally that had a far-reaching impact. Nashville Public Schools start classes on Aug. 5, with a school that has a new name: Richard H. Dinkins Early College Magnet Middle School, previously Brick Church Middle. A dedication ceremony held on Aug. 2 included Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell, Metro Nashville Schools Director Adrienne Battle and Richard H. Dinkins Middle Principal Robyn Beard-Tillman among the speakers. Dinkins died in 2023 at the age of 71. The school board unanimously approved the new name for the school last March. Richard H. Dinkins Middle is in Metro's Whites Creek High School cluster. Dinkins was the lead attorney in a long-running school desegregation case that helped reshape public education in Nashville. Cousin Margaret Campbelle-Holman told dedication ceremony attendees in the library about Richard Dinkins stutter and how reading and education provided Dinkins "an unwavering belief in what education could do." "He never forgot about removing barriers," Campbelle-Holman said. "He saw that any impediment for a child's learning had to be worked on," which she believed fueled Dinkins in his desegregation work. Richard H Dinkins later became a judge on the Tennessee Court of Appeals in 2008 and served with distinction until his retirement in 2022. He had previously served as a Davidson County Chancery Court chancellor from 2003 to 2008. "Nashville, and really everywhere, has a lot of unsung heroes and people who have done the work to get us to this point," said Richard Dinkins' son Ian Dinkins, 30. "So it's important that people like my dad, Robert Lillard, are honored ... and have students living out (their) legacy every day." Dinkins Middle student Aria Telfor read a poem to the audience and signage that reflects the new name is up inside and outside in time for school to start. "I think students have the opportunity to do anything they want if they put their minds to it," Aria said after reading her poem. Dinkins Middle School feeds into Whites Creek High School, which offers the Early College program in partnership with Nashville State Community College. The initiative allows students to earn both a high school diploma and up to 60 college credits, placing them on a fast track to an associate degree. "The name is more than symbolic, it's a commitment," Beard-Tillman said about the name change."

Dear Abby: I moved across the country to be closer to my family — but they still ignore me
DEAR ABBY: I made a terrible mistake moving 2,000 miles across the country to be closer to my grandchildren. In the past, I have always noticed my son and daughter-in-law treated the other grandparents better. They roll out the red carpet for my daughter-in-law's parents. They arrange outings with them, take photos and post the special grandchild-grandparent moments on Facebook. No one takes photos of me doing the same things with the grandchildren. It is also hard to do things with them because my daughter-in-law is always rushing them to do something else. It's like she wants her parents to be the only ones who have a special relationship with the grandkids. I feel sick to my stomach every day. In the past, I couldn't take off work to travel for visits like the other grandparents, so I missed out on a lot. I thought by moving here I would stop feeling like an outsider with my grandchildren. I am single and still working, and although this was a major disruption to my life, it was a sacrifice I thought was worth making for the joy of being a more involved grandparent. But not much has changed. What do you think? — OUTSIDER IN TENNESSEE DEAR OUTSIDER: That queasy feeling you describe may be anxiety. This is something you should discuss with your son. Before I render any judgments, it would have been helpful to know if you discussed your 'possible' move to Tennessee with him and his wife to see how they felt about it. Or did you simply announce you were coming? If they welcomed the idea but haven't included you, shame on them. Family counseling might help smooth things out if they are willing. If they aren't, and you aren't able to forge the kind of relationship you want with your grandchildren, consider making another move — somewhere where you are wanted and not so isolated. DEAR ABBY: Sometimes, when I offer sympathy to someone about a difficult situation they are experiencing by saying, 'I'm sorry,' that person will respond by saying, 'It's not your fault,' or 'No need to apologize.' It happened again today. The definition of 'sorry' is 'an expression of sorrow or regret.' It's not necessarily an apology. When people respond this way, I find it awkward, embarrassing and even belittling. Please ask your readers to take the expression as it is intended. It's usually obvious whether the person speaking is apologizing or expressing sympathy for your situation. — APOLOGIZING IN THE WEST DEAR APOLOGIZING: People, in general, have their personal pet peeves. Although this response is yours, I doubt many people will stop doing it because of one letter in my column. The next time it happens, tell the person you weren't apologizing, simply expressing sympathy. If you say it with a smile, the person is less likely to be offended.
