What's New
And the Parade Marched On
It's celebration time in Towne Lake! As you
read through this issue, you will see how excited we are about the upcoming
Cherokee Jubilee at Towne Lake. See pages 48 - 49, 78 and the back
cover for details about the parade and the Taste of Towne Lake.
"It will be a wonderful opportunity for Towne
Lake area residents to come together to celebrate this wonderful little
pocket of world we call home," said Event Sponsor Gina Carr of CENTURY
21 Advantage.
Join the fun at the Jubilee on Labor
Day, Monday, September 1. Beginning at 4:30 p.m., a parade will start
at CENTURY 21 Advantage (across from Wendy's) and march down Towne Lake
Parkway, turning East at Towne Lake Amoco towards Mount TLC (Towne Lake
Community Church). The Taste of Towne Lake will be held at Mount TLC following
the parade. The Jubilee proceeds will benefit the March of Dimes, Cherokee
County Humane Society and Everyday Angels. Several local restaurants will
have booths for you to "taste" until you drop (or pop)! There will be
special entertainment and tethered hot air balloon rides. Hope to see
your there!
What's New
The Cherokee County Commissioners
recently approved a sidewalk on Putnam Ford Road on the east side between
Eagle Drive (where it will tie into the sidewalk that will be constructed
as part of the Eagle Drive Widening Project) and Bascomb Carmel Road.
At Bascomb Carmel Road, the project will continue along the south side
of Bascomb Carmel Road and tie into the existing sidewalk at Carmel Elementary
School. Construction is projected to begin in the Fall of 2004. The Commission
also approved a design services contract for the design of improvements
on Towne Lake Parkway and I-575. The proposed design is
for an additional passing lane eastbound, under the Interstate bridge.
The intent is to ease the flow of traffic on eastbound Towne Lake Parkway
traffic.
Fire Station 1/Oak Grove on Bells
Ferry Road is getting some needed improvements. The improvements include
expanding the living areas and making general repairs. According to Robbie
Westbrook of the Cherokee County Emergency Management Agency, the station
runs a fire truck and an ambulance out of this station and was in need
of repair.
Wolf Camera opened its doors for business
recently. The store is located in the Kroger Shopping Center in the space
formerly occupied by Joe Muggs.
Drivers be aware. The new stoplight at Eagle
Drive and Parkbrooke Drive is now operational. The light was
established primarily to assist the Cherokee County bus drivers to get
in and out of the bus garage, which is located behind Bruster's and Hurricane
Bay Car Wash.
Sylvan Learning Center is scheduled
to move from their current location on North Medical Parkway to the South
Pointe center (in the space formerly occupied by Kid's Hour) by the end
of August. Director Tiffany Roberts said, "We are excited about moving
to the new location. We really needed the additional space our new location
will have for all our students."
Comic Books Etc., located next to
Batter's Up in the South Pointe center, will open their showroom in mid-August.
They will carry vintage and new comic books as
