Transit
Beep beep. Tennessee is the No. 10 best-driving state, based on metrics like road maintenance and gas prices. Guess they haven’t been on I-75 lately. (WalletHub)

I never thought I’d be so excited to see temperatures in the 40s this weekend — but last week was too cold. I’ll still be bundling up to check out the Elevate Wellness Festival, though I’m not brave enough to do the cold plunge. I’ll see y’all in a yoga class instead.
