HENDERSON, Tenn. (WTVF) — A beloved restaurant in West Tennessee is in shambles tonight after an overnight fire destroyed the building.

Bell's Diner, in Henderson, burned to the ground early this morning. The restaurant, which opened its doors in 1954, remained in the same location since it opened. The menu there featured classic items, like hamburgers, onion rings, and milkshakes.

Blind woman entertains assisted living neighbors, plays seven instruments

“I’ve never met anyone like Tennie.”

That’s how one neighbor at Stones River Manor in Murfreesboro describes Tennie Fitzpatrick, who has mastered as many as seven different musical instruments. Each day, Tennie shares those talents with residents, workers and visitors. It’s an ability Tennie herself believes is “a gift from God.” That’s because Tennie is blind, and overcame a difficult, abusive childhood.  Forrest Sanders shares this truly inspirational story.
