EP Corner Tav asks about more restrictive smoking

The crew at the East Point Corner Tavern is asking its friends on Facebook about its smoking policy.

The question is whether the local fav should be smoke free until 9 p.m. (I believe its smoke-free until 6 now.)  Go vote. Here.

Add your two cents to the issue. For more info about smoking bans, check out Wikipedia.

Business makes a good neighbor gesture--UPDATE with photos

A tractor-trailer truck is the likely suspect behind the damaged Oakleigh Drive neighborhood marker. In a gesture of being a good neighbor, a local trucking company is stepping forward to help shoulder the cost of the repairs.

Four brick markers border the neighborhood at key intersections. Residents dress them up in the spring and fall with flowers, adding a nice touch to the community.

Oakleigh Drive, on the north side of the neighborhood, is a major route used for experienced truckers making deliveries to the warehouses, there as well as student truck drivers sharpening their skills. On Sunday morning, it isn't usual to see trucks practice backing up near the marker.

City Councilman Lance Rhodes said the truck drivers are private contractors, which makes it difficult to find the culprit.  But he said Atlas Trucking Storage, which has no connection to the privately-owned trucks, is stepping up to cover the cost of the damage.

The Oakleigh marker has suffered damage before. Rhodes said he is talking with other businesses to see if landscaping could prevent future problems.

The map highlights the location of the markers and the popular truck route.
