The Eclectic Echo

10/22/2025

I've been trying to rename this page. No one ever really engaged with it anyway (hence the long lack of posts); but for full disclosure, I was trying preserve the previous posts while it transitions to a new name.
I'm not a councilman anymore, but I plan to stay engaged in local politics in the Eclectic community. The new brand will be called The Eclectic Echo.
Sadly, i can't figure out -- even with help, both human and AI -- i've yet to figure out how to just rename this page. So there's likely another page incoming, called The Eclectic Echo.
I'd be amused if anyone even saw this post, though, tbh.

These trails are a hidden treasure of our area, and were largely made possibly by local hiker, and former council member, Jimmy K. Lanier.

Last week, we took you to Smith Mountain and showed you the beautiful views of Lake Martin from the fire tower, but did you know it’s actually a part of a bigger trail system? This week we’re learning more about the Cherokee Ridge Alpine Trail System.

Mill Street is a mostly forgotten and unused trail that juts of First Avenue (resembling a driveway more than a "street") and wraps behind town hall to come out on Main Street. No homes will be impacted by the closure.
