Here are the top three stories in Franklin today:

1. Earlier this month, Williamson County Schools Superintendent Jason Golden announced his plan to recommend closing Discovery Virtual, the district's virtual school experience. The primary factor behind the decision was insufficient enrollment numbers. In response to the news, parents formed a "Save Discovery Virtual" Facebook group to share their thoughts and concerns on the closure. (WSMV 4)
2. Archaeological digs have begun on the future site of the Franklin Grove Estate and Gardens. An extensive, non-invasive ground-penetrating radar (GPR) survey has been used to examine the topography of the area. The Heritage Foundation of Williamson County says it will continue to learn more about the history of the property and its inhabitants as the digs continue. Learn more about the Franklin Grove Estate and Gardens project at www.FranklinGrove.com.(Williamson Herald)
3. MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes, a fast-casual burger franchise, is opening a new location here in Franklin. The new restaurant will be located at 1560 W. McEwen Drive and is scheduled to open this month. This will be the third MOOYAH in Tennessee, with existing locations in Knoxville and Brentwood. (1851 Franchise)
