Pinnacle Financial Partners to combine with Synovus Financial Corp. into one company
Two Southern banking corporations, Pinnacle Financial Partners and Synovus Financial Corp., will combine into one company in an all-stock transaction valued at $8.6 billion. The combined company will use the Pinnacle Financial Partners and Pinnacle Bank name and brand, the two companies announced July 24 in a news release. Pinnacle's current President and CEO Terry Turner will serve as chairman of the Board of Directors, while Synovus President and CEO Kevin Blair will remain in those roles for the combined company. The deal is expected to close in early 2026. Pinnacle Financial Partners, the bank holding company, will have its corporate headquarters in Atlanta, and Pinnacle Bank's headquarters will be in Nashville. Ultimately, this will create "the highest-performing regional bank focused on the fastest-growth markets in the Southeast," according to the news release. Knox News awarded the Knoxville side of Pinnacle Financial Partners first place among midsize companies in the 2025 Top Workplaces list. 'Over the last 25 years, we have attracted extraordinary talent to a bank that closely partners with its clients, developing 'raving fans' and delivering industry-leading growth,' Turner said in the release. 'We are pleased to join forces with Synovus in a combination that prioritizes client experience and inspires associates. "By combining Pinnacle's operating model, which is anchored in a disciplined entrepreneurial spirit, with Synovus' talented team and strong presence in attractive and fast-growing Southeastern markets, we will extend our legacy of building share in the most attractive markets nationally." Shareholders in either company will have their shares converted. Synovus shareholders will own just under half of the combined company while Pinnacle shareholders will own more than half. Pinnacle Financial Partners got its start in 2000 in downtown Nashville, and has sincegrown into to the second-largest bank holding company headquartered in Tennessee, with approximately $54.8 billion in assets.

Will Starbase, Texas, Be the Location of the Next Tesla Diner?
is an editor for Eater's Texas region. She lives in Dallas, where she's written about James Beard-celebrated and Michelin-recognized restaurants and she loves nachos. Following the opening of the first Tesla Diner in Los Angeles this week, it looks like Texas may be next. Or, at least, Texas is on the list. If you haven't heard about the Tesla Diner, it is part of Musk's plans to give Tesla drivers a spot to recharge both themselves and their cars. Eater LA described the look of the place as 'retro-futuristic' with 'a curved metal exterior that resembles a spaceship but falls closer to evoking the design sensibilities of an Apple store or Disneyland's Tomorrowland.' It has Superchargers galore, with 45-foot screens that play movies. It is open 24/7. Word on a Starbase location, which is deep in South Texas near the Gulf and the Mexico border, comes via a Twitter request to put a diner in the little city on the tip of the Texas border. While simply saying 'ok' to an idea might not feel like a firm affirmation, the blog Not a Tesla App points out that tourism around Starbase has grown thanks to fans who want to watch SpaceX launches. Musk's aeronautical company has purchased much of the land in the town, which measures a flimsy 1.5 square miles and largely houses company employees. A $22 million development for a community center is underway, and that's just part of a list of projects the city has undertaken, which, according to My San Antonio, also includes a $20 million school for kindergarten through 12th grade, a medical clinic, and a $2 million multi-family development. The spread at the Tesla Diner in Los Angeles. Matthew Kang Hamburgers, hot dogs, and all-day breakfast are on the menu at the Tesla Diner in Los Angeles, along with a note that the foods are 'responsibly sourced' and 'sustainable local products' are acquired within the range of a Tesla. In South Texas, that's just over 300 miles in a Tesla Model S. If the Starbase diner follows the same model, that means foods within range of San Antonio, down to the Monterrey and Tamaulipas areas of Mexico, would be covered. The LA diner also has technology that tracks Tesla drivers within a certain range and triggers cooks to begin their order when the drivers are 15 or 20 minutes away, reportedly guaranteeing fresh, hot food. Eater LA editors noted that the diner's biscuits and red gravy were 'fairly excellent' and called the tuna melt 'the best item on the menu.' It also features something called 'epic' bacon, which harkens to a directive from Musk that everything on the menu should be epic, or it shouldn't be on the menu at all.

"Hidden" home costs surge in Arizona
Homeowners in Arizona spend an average of $21,211 a year on upkeep and other "hidden expenses," according to a Bankrate study. Why it matters: Overlooked costs, beyond mortgage payments, can come as an unpleasant surprise for unprepared homeowners. By the numbers: The average annual cost of hidden expenses for a single-family home nationwide is $21,400 this year. Arizona is slightly below the national average and has the 21st-highest costs out of 49 states (the study didn't include New York). That sum includes property taxes, insurance, utilities/energy, internet/cable and maintenance. Zoom in: Arizona's average yearly spending for homeowners insurance ($2,268), utilities ($4,581) and home maintenance ($9,424) were all above the national average. The state does particularly well on property taxes ($2,436), coming in 12th lowest overall. And Arizonans pay less than average for internet and cable ($1,502). Zoom out: East and West Coast states — where home values and property taxes run high — usually see the highest hidden homeownership costs, per the analysis. Meanwhile, bills are generally lower in Southern and Midwestern states. The big picture: Inflation and "the nation's aging housing stock" have pushed annual maintenance costs to roughly $8,800, the steepest expense Bankrate tracked.
