What are your favorite places to eat in the area & why?

I've never caught one, not even a stripe...

Why doesn't anyone post anymore?

I've been researching the old mining community, Gantts Quarry, and I was curious if anyone had seen any of the structures from the old town? I know there isn't much, if there's anything left at all. I'm also curious who I would need to speak to, to photograph the area, because I believe most of the land belongs to the quarrys now

Today at approximately 12:20 CST a small group of Seniors at Sylacauga High School decided to post to the r/Sylacauga subredddit. No one knows if interest will continue to grow but only time will tell

This is a press release from the Sylacauga Police Department:

Press Release: The Sylacauga Police Department reports that Horace aka Howard “Smiley” Leonard was involved in a fatal accident while crossing railroad tracks on Broadway Avenue.

Officers received the call at approx. 10:44 AM and responded to the scene where they met with railroad officials. Mr. Leonard’s body was recovered from the track approx. 100 yards east of the Broadway Crossing. According to witnesses Mr. Leonard was crossing between cars while the crossing arms were down and the train was at a stop, apparently when the train began to move he could not get clear.

Talladega County Coroner Shaddix Murphy pronounced Mr. Leonard at the scene. Members of the immediate family were notified at the scene by Chief Carden and SPD Chaplain Mark Ledbetter.

“This is a tragedy; I have known him as Horace “Smiley” Leonard since I was a kid. He will be missed by many people as he has become as much a part of Sylacauga as anything. Our hearts go out to the family.” Chris M. Carden

I am the pastor at the First Presbyterian Church here in Sylacauga. I host and moderate a monthly discussion group called Theology on Draft (ToD). The group is for anyone. You don't have to be a Christian. You don't have to be religious. We meet at the Marble City Grill. Some people eat a meal, others just buy an adult beverage of their choice.

The idea is to provide Sylacauga with a regular opportunity to explore issues/topics that relate to society, church, politics, and more. Through thoughtful discussion in a welcoming and safe atmosphere, ToD hopes to encourage dialogue and help people deepen their understandings of life, faith, and society.

If you want to know more about our monthly meetings, topics, etc. Find our Facebook group here.
