Featuring the new garden, The Fairy Garden on the Georgia side of the community, Jimmy does a fantastic job of informing the listeners about the entire project from first thoughts until now and, he even continues his thoughts about upcoming projects in the community as we hear about possible new trails coming on Lookout and some activity around the new town center. What a great example of what can be accomplished when many of us work together for the greater, common good.

I think she's 29 and holding! Join us in this history laden episode for a great sit-down at a place many of us zoom by daily - the Mountain Memories shop on Scenic Hwy. Third generation operator Jeanne Crawford shares a very personal and heart-felt message of a love that has endured for generations here on Lookout. With fascinating stories of her family adventures, she takes the listener on a smooth journey full of love and laughs despite hard times and scary situations. Jeanne does a super job of weaving together a nice combination of the history of her family, Lookout Mtn and America. Sit back and enjoy a relaxing voice from a wonderful, former LMS teacher as she teaches us about the single most important thing in life. Well done fair lady, well done indeed.

Damn the man is good, said all! I enjoyed the time spent just listening to him, "The Dreamer" as his equally impressive wife Ann describes him. Howard goes in fascinating, courtroom like cadence as he weaves his tale from New Albany - Mississippi to Lookout Mountain and A LOT in between. Wow. He is one busy fella! Watch out! Don't hit him! He is often biking UP Lookout, yes I said up, not down. Howard gives us some of his time to talk about yoga and helps share great insight for folks wanting to know more about it. He also shares some very good info on bikes and cycling on and around Lookout and where folks can find good bike shops. Howard shares some very cool info from MS on Oxford and Faulkner and how his family touched this part of American history. And, Howard shares his love of poetry and books and even reads a portion of his latest work. What a great podcast for the community to hear and learn from ,and what a fine gentleman he is to share his thoughts with us.
Well done Howard Brown, well done indeed Sir.
PS - we may ask him to talk Montana and fishing later on!
