The cover story profiles Chris Strandburg, the Clarksville dentist who appeared on The Bachelorette — a hometown figure whose brush with reality-TV fame made for an irresistible local feature.

“The Changing Landscape of College Street” documents the ongoing transformation of one of Clarksville's notable corridors, capturing a neighborhood in transition, while “B-Cycle Is Now Open in Clarksville” announces the arrival of the city's bike-share program — a new, healthy way to get around downtown.

The health pages tackle nutrition head-on with the “New U.S. Dietary Guidelines” and the pointed question “Is 5 a Day Enough?”, helping readers make sense of shifting official advice, alongside dental coverage that looks beyond dentures, bridges and partials.

A “Weekend Wine Run” adds a note of leisure, and a thoughtful piece on social media and young people rounds out an issue that balances local personalities, civic change and practical health.

The recurring departments and photo pages round out a March issue that moves easily from a hometown celebrity to civic change to practical health. A dentist's reality-TV turn, a corridor in transition, and the arrival of bike-share all capture a city growing and changing in real time, while the dietary-guidelines coverage keeps readers grounded in the everyday work of eating well. It is a characteristically wide-ranging spring number, the kind that trusts its readers to be curious about a local personality on one page and their own nutrition on the next, finding the newsworthy and the useful in the same issue as Clarksville shakes off winter. The Chris Strandburg profile has fun with its Bachelorette hook, the dentist recalling how his appreciation for Southern values grew after dating two Southern girls, in the kind of light, personable local celebrity story the magazine relished.
