POV: your realtors actually have the time to do it right.
Darin and Christina aren’t trying to rush deals or stack volume. As empty nesters, they’ve built their business around being present, responsive, and fully invested in the people they represent.
That’s why most of their clients aren’t just one-time transactions. They come back. They refer their friends. Because they know they’re being looked after every step of the way.
Real estate is personal and they treat it that way.

Had the pleasure of throwing out the first pitch last night for senior night with the MT Juliet Bears baseball team. Countless memories with many of these boys!
A little wisdom from the back patio. @darincunningham and @xtinafaith answer questions from their followers about securing a loan as a self employed couple, starting the process as early as possible, and (of course) going to the beach. #bdgpartners #realestate #realestatetips #nashvillerealtor #mtjuliet

🧠 What if we could cut youth violence by 75%… just by changing what kids eat?
This isn’t a theory. It’s documented science — and it’s been buried for decades.
The Studies Are Real:
🔬 3,000 juveniles. Stanislaus County, CA.
Dr. Stephen Schoenthaler (Cal State University) replaced junk food and sugary drinks with whole foods and 100% juice. The result? Antisocial behavior dropped 21%, assaults fell 25%, and use of physical restraints dropped a jaw-dropping 75%.
📄 Schoenthaler, S.J. (1983). The Northern California Diet-Behavior Program. Int’l Journal of Biosocial Research, 5, 99–106.
🔬 The “Reversal” Study — Alabama Detention Center
Researchers switched 104 juveniles BACK to their original ultra-processed food diet for 6 months. Antisocial behavior shot up 54%.
📄 Schoenthaler, S.J. (1983). The Alabama Diet-Behavior Program. Int’l Journal of Biosocial Research, 5, 79–87.
🔬 Oxford University — Double-Blind Supplement Trial
Juveniles given proper vitamins and minerals committed 26% fewer offenses overall and 37% fewer violent offenses.
📄 Gesch, C.B. et al. (2002). British Journal of Psychiatry, 181, 22–28.
🔬 Virginia Detention Facility — Covert Kitchen Study
A chef quietly reduced sugar in meals — staff didn’t even know. Documented disciplinary incidents dropped 45%.
📄 Schoenthaler, S.J. (1982). Int’l Journal of Biosocial Research, 3(1), 1–9.
The pattern is undeniable:
✅ Feed kids real food → behavior improves dramatically
❌ Feed kids ultra-processed food → aggression climbs
This isn’t about blame. As Dr. Schoenthaler himself said:
“Nutrition, like alcohol, influences behavior — it doesn’t determine it.”
We spend billions on the criminal justice system. What if we spent a fraction of that on better food?
This research deserves conversation. 👇

“Tall and skinnies.”
In Nashville, those two words start arguments.
But the houses themselves aren’t the real story: the real story is the legal structure behind them.
Definition: A Horizontal Property Regime (HPR) is a legal property ownership structure that allows multiple homes to exist on a single parcel of land while each homeowner owns their individual dwelling.
Many of the homes people call “tall and skinny homes” are built using this structure.
While HPR development is common in Nashville, that system is illegal in many American cities.
The legal framework for how land can be used here dates back to the 1933 Nashville Zoning Act, which established the basic structure for zoning inside the city.
For many years, two-family homes had to be physically connected, something agents and builders often referred to as being “tethered together.”
Then in 2014, Metro Nashville updated its zoning rules and began allowing two detached homes on a single lot under certain conditions.
After that change, and as Nashville’s population boomed, the number of homes built using the HPR structure expanded rapidly.
Some residents argue these homes change the character or scale of older neighborhoods.
Others point out that without HPR development, Nashville may not have met the housing demand created by its rapid growth.
Love them or hate them, Horizontal Property Regimes have become one of the primary ways Nashville has added housing inside existing neighborhoods.
So what do you think?
Are tall and skinny homes a smart way for a growing city to add housing, or do they change neighborhoods too much?

Did you know?
The U.S. government spends about $1 on subsidizing fruits & vegetables for every $40+ it pumps into ingredients for ultra-processed foods (think corn, soy, sugar used in chips, sodas, fast food). 😲
That’s why:
🍟 A bag of chips often costs less than a single bell pepper.
🍔 Fast food feels cheaper than a fresh salad.
💸 Low-income families get pushed toward ultra-processed options.
When people say “healthy eating is just personal responsibility,” they’re missing the bigger picture:
Government policies have rigged the system to make junk the easy, affordable default.
It’s not all laziness. It’s economics engineered by subsidies.
The exact opposite of this should be true. Subsidize whole foods and tax the others. If we put our subsidies into healthy eating options and helped to make them less expensive and more convieneint, we’d have less chronic illness, lower healthcare costs, and much more. It just blows my mind 🤯!
