    Extra- A Detour to Cleveland, Tennessee

    Extra- A Detour to Cleveland, Tennessee

    Georgia history stories will start again the first week of June- we'll talk about the chain gang, the Peachtree bandit, and a few moonshiners.  For now, though, let's detour to nearby Cleveland Tennesee and meet a family with (maybe) a stain in their past, a ghost cat, and a haunted railroad bridge.
     
    I'll be doing a live show at the Banks County Library on June 5 at 2:00!  You are welcome to bring and share a story from Banks County, or just enjoy listening!
