This is the last Hardin Local Weekly that will ever air on a Tuesday at 1 PM. The show is not ending, the day is. Starting Sunday, September 13th, Hardin Local Weekly moves to Sunday nights at 7 PM Eastern, same show, same crew, same format, and Bourbon Local follows at 9.

Also this week: Nate Bryan on a second Hampton Inn heading to the Elizabethtown planning commission, plus two rumors knocked down, Back Home is for sale but not closing, and Dodge's Chicken was not bought by Casey's. Three openings: The Blue Door, Fly to Phelps and Sierra Trading. Jon O'Brien has Martina McBride at Bourbon and Blades, the Weekend of Remembrance and the firefighters stair climb, Freeman Lake, Time to Shine and the last weekend of Little Shop of Horrors. Rachel Brantingham's housing numbers show inventory up to 445 and days on market back to 80. And Grafton Sizemore explains what a down payment really has to be, and why an extra $30,000 down moves a monthly payment less than people expect.

Grafton Sizemore is now a weekly Hardin Local co-host, and this is the first Money Moves with G: why he will not give an exact rate on air, and why the idea that you need 20 percent down to buy a house is a myth. He walks through what low and zero down programs look like in general terms, what mortgage insurance really is, the "wait for rates" math, and why long-time renters are not locked out. Education only, not a rate quote or an offer.

Also this week: Nate Bryan says Towne Mall is being renamed City Center, American Eagle opened, and Bean Cove and Whispering Dandelions Farm are closing. Jon O'Brien has a packed Labor Day Saturday, the veterans Stand Down, Fort Knox gate closures and the last two walking tours of the season. Rachel Brantingham's housing numbers show inventory falling to 439 as 24 homes went under contract, with a warning about contract releases. And Britten McDowell revisits Namaste Indian Cuisine and explains what a first-timer should order.

Rachel Brantingham introduces her new co-host, Grafton Sizemore of Motto Mortgage, and Phil Taul and Scott Lucas explain why they are moving mostly behind the camera as Hardin Local adds shows. Grafton talks about growing up in Hardin County, the stepdad who told him never to become a loan officer, and the biggest thing local veterans get wrong about VA loans, plus a preview of his new segment, Money Moves with G.

Also this week: Nate Bryan has the Publix opening date, Wednesday, September 23, plus Theology Skin Bar, Fly2Fit's September 11 grand opening, Off The Clock opening Friday, and four tenants leaving Mulberry Square. Jon O'Brien has football Friday with John Hardin hosting the county's only home game, the Heartland Homecoming Parade, the St. James Community Picnic and Bee School. Rachel's housing numbers show the market starting to separate the winners. And Britten McDowell takes the Experienced Eater to the Guero's Salsa and More trailer in Radcliff.
