We are living in strange times Fright Night Fridays have looked a little different this year. Instead of canceling FNF, The Groove adapted. They have a raffle for each movie and have a certain number of spots for each movie. If you are interested in seeing one of the two movies left you will need to enter that raffle for that movie. You can enter for each movie. They will still provide their delicious free popcorn. Dinner at The Gambling Stick Barbecue is always a great option before the movie starts. And without further ado here the remaining films in this years line-up:
October 23rd- Ginger Snaps
October 30th- Suspiria (The Original) See Less
Two More Friday Nights Left! The Groove and VHS Podcast Present Fright Night Fridays III.
Vote Early! Know what to do.
Prior to most elections, Nashville offers multiple locations across our county where registered Davidson County voters may cast their ballots early. The Early Voting period begins twenty (20) days before an election and typically ends five (5) days before Election Day. You may choose a location convenient to work or home – there are no assigned locations. Early Voting sites are open during the day, some evenings, and on Saturday.
Waits (if any) are usually shorter than on Election Day, and if you need to update your address, the process may be completed more quickly than on Election Day.
Early Voting Schedule, November 3, 2020 Election
If convenience is important to you, consider Early Voting the next time you go to the polls. Click here for full information
On Election Day, you must vote at your assigned polling location.
Use the Polling Place Finder to identify your assigned Election Day polling location.
It’s easy! Just enter your address in the search window or click on the map.
Note: If you are a registered Davidson County voter and you have moved within our county, but not updated your address, you must go to your new voting location on Election Day to change your address and vote.

No Fee. No Touch. A Safer Way to Make Transactions from Nashville Buy Local!
There are many ways to conduct transactions, but during the current Covid-19 pandemic few offer the safety and security of contactless payments.
Contactless Payments are not new. In fact, the rest of the world has been using this method to pay for things like subway, train, and bus fares for the past 20 years. Why is it not more prevalent in the U.S. then, you might ask? The simple answer is because not many businesses have the terminals to support this technology.
However, our “No Fee, No Touch” program changes that. We have the terminals, technology, and support staff to provide you with a safe, contactless payment system that speeds up transactions while virtually eliminating your processing fees!

5 Tips to Support Small Business in Nashville During COVID-19
In March our stores and entertainment facilities rapidly began to close and business owners and workers became very stressed. Many businesses that stayed open, especially the smaller, local ones, continue to experience slow traffic, low sales and are now faced laying off employees or closing their doors for good. Governor Lee announced that consumer retail and services could start opening in Late April but Nashville stays under a city stay at home order for a little longer. However, customers must still practice the art of social distancing and take the appropriate safety precautions.
Although stores will be able to open this month, they won’t be able to operate at full shopping capacity. So how can you continue to “live local” and offer your support of the businesses who are so vital to our economy? Here are five things you can do to help:
Shop your local stores online.
Even when local businesses open their brick-and-mortar locations, owners will need to trim down their customer capacity in order to adhere to the social distancing guidelines. You can continue to support these same retailers offering their products through online purchasing, even if they hadn’t been doing so before the coronavirus pandemic. You can also support those who create and sell goods out of their homes, such as custom signs, jewelry, etc.
Buy gift cards.
Service businesses like Bowling Alleys, spas and theaters that don’t sell products, are hit particularly hard by the coronavirus shutdowns. Help them continue to turn a profit by purchasing gift cards now for later use.
Order Food to Go.
We just can’t foresee many people running out to sit in a restaurant to eat, but you can still enjoy your favorite takeout food at home. Most restaurants are taking precautions to prepare their food within CDC guidelines in mind. You can safely order through the restaurants. Please if you can avoid using a food delivery service, like Grub Hub, Uber Eats or Postmates. They take 20% or more of the cost from the business as well as gross-up the cost to you. Great for them, horrible for you or the business. Use the restaurant’s drive-thru or curbside pickup service.
Bigger tips.
Whether you’re ordering dinner in or just having your groceries delivered because you don’t feel safe to leave your home, you can help local businesses make it through this economic crisis by tipping a little bit more than you normally would. You can usually add your tip to the total on your card to avoid physical contact with the delivery person.
If you’re a small business looking for help during this pandemic, make sure you contact us for help to take payments contactless or online. We can also help you market during this time as well.
