Dang, Murfreesboro used to be a decent place to live. I guess I'll be making sure to double my efforts to lock everything down.

With increase in population has not come the increase in police protection on the streets. Security should be part of the infrastructure making a better quality of life in Murfreesboro. I guess build, build, build will be the problem for the next in line when those in power retire.

Maybe the paper could write an article about how to better secure our property.

They sell safes that can be bolted to the floor or even inserted in walls so why do the rich leave it out in the open in today’s society? The growth of Murfreesboro is good but there is always some bad that comes with good.
