Our Town

Mayor Mitch Landrieu of New Orleans and Karl Dean of Nashville. These are top rated politicians who did a lot for their suburbs and cities alike- in their own state. So why not “Summons” them to a lunch to obtain wisdom of developments-on unity in our town? It is hard to disagree with such a touching topic as this. Although, it can be picked apart, I feel as though it is not my duty. There is not enough writing of the article. There should have been more writing on such an important topic. Also,…

Danielsville is the kind of town that if…
