That’s been our mission since we opened in 1984, and it continues to be our mission today. We have been a part of the growth and expansion of many Nashville businesses over the years, and are excited about the new ventures and possibilities on the horizon.

This week’s Friday Five comes to us again from History.com‘s This Day in History. We say “Ok” multiple times throughout the day without ever thinking about it, and it is hard to imagine the English language without that phrase. So when I saw the headline “1839: OK enters national vernacular” I had to check it out.
I will unashamedly admit that misspelled words – especially purposefully misspelled words – make me insane. So the story behind “OK” was fascinating to me, not the least because I just can’t imagine people using slang in the 1800’s, but also because it is so similar to the texting shortcuts developed by Gen-X, Y, and millenials over the last decade. I guess each generation’s youth isn’t that different after all. I do know that I will never look at “OK” the same again.
And I’m not sure if I can even continue to use it knowing that it began from a purposefully misspelled phrase.
Anyway, it got me thinking about other phrases or idioms that we say all the time and where they actually originated. Here are some links that I found interesting and/or amusing. Knock yourself out!

So, on Monday of this week, the 141st annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show was held in Madison Square Garden. And the pictures and videos that came out of it offered a much needed respite from political/economical/civil issues. One of my favorite parts of the dog show is the agility competition, and Mia the beagle was HILARIOUS.
I don’t know about you, but I need more hilarious dog videos in my life, especially after a long week in the office, so here are five funny dog videos, starting with Mia.

Private Offices, Shared Offices, and Coworking Workspaces Available
Last week, I read an article on the LiquidSpaceblog about the growth of the flexible office space market and where it is headed in the next few years. Perimeter Park has offered this type of service to businesses and entrepreneurs since we opened in 1984. It has been called many things over the years – executive suites, executive office space, shared office space, workspace-on-demand, coworking – but no matter what the current terminology is, it all boils down to turn-key professional office space at an affordable price where a person can focus on their business while someone else takes care of all the other little things that go into running an office.
When you have an office at Perimeter Park, you just work. We deal with maintenance, cleaning service, Comcast (yes, we even do THAT for you), the telephone company, A/C vendors – even the mailman and delivery people. You never have to stop your business to deal with any of those things.
After working here for 15 years, I don’t know why anyone with a small business would want to – or could afford to – handle those things on their own instead of working 100% on building and growing their business.
The old saying is that “you get what you pay for”, but that isn’t true at Perimeter Park. Here you get a fully furnished office, telephone service, internet service, cleaning, utilities, break room, receptionist, waiting area, and an on-site staff. All starting at under $600 per month for a single person private office – less for coworking and virtual office options.
Here are some articles on why this type of office set-up is great for businesses. Have a look, then give us a call at 615-781-4200 to tour our office space in Nashville and see what we can do for your business.

This week, a post in my Facebook feed about a possible new lead in the fascinating FBI case of the disappearance of hijacker D.B. Cooper caught my eye. The folklore and mystery surrounding this case has interested me since I first heard about it in middle school. It’s been mentioned in multiple movies and television shows, specifically FBI dramas and police procedurals. This week’s Friday Five list starts with the article that caught my eye, then goes on to include other thoughts and information about the mystery.
