Here are the top three stories in Franklin today:

1. A new barbershop, Scissors & Scotch, will open at McEwen Northside in Franklin. The location is at 4031 Aspen Grove Drive and is offering special deals to celebrate its soft opening. One of these specials is 25 percent off all services. (Williamson Source)
2. A group of Franklin teenagers is calling on local residents to help combat period poverty. 17-year-old Emma Rose Smith put out a call to Franklin residents to donate menstrual care and general hygiene products to aide those who don't have access to hygiene products. The drive is a part of collecting products for Her Drive, a Chicago-based nonprofit working to fight period and hygiene poverty. (Tennessean)
3. On Monday night, Franklin Tomorrow hosted its monthly FrankTalks event. At the meeting, community members recapped the milestones for the Williamson County Animal Center in 2021. The center is celebrating opening a new building and increasing its adoption rate. (Williamson Herald)
