In the News: The Lookout View

It is always fun to run across things on the web. I was searching for something that I did back in 2002 to use as a starting point for an article that I'm working on about Alabama's byways program. I found it online even though I couldn't find it on my hard drive--the power of Google.

Anyway, in the process of finding that article (something published in Alabama's Treasure Forests, a publication of the Alabama Forestry Commission) I also found the article linked below. We held a meeting in late February and I knew the editor of the Lookout View was present. We did have a good article in the Gadsden Times, but I never saw the article in the Lookout View. Glad to have found it.

Here's the first paragraph:

In late February the Lookout Mountain Parkway Association met in Gadsden to discuss how to move forward on an initiative that they hope will raise the profile of the mountain and draw visitors off nearby Interstate highways. They are exploring the possibility of creating a travel corridor similar to others in the state that have received the Alabama Scenic Byway Program designation. The program, patterned after the National Scenic Byways concept, will use community and citizen input to identify, protect, and enhance the resources along the corridor.
